Vietnam Mobile Telecom Services Co., the nation’s second-biggest mobile-phone company by subscribers, said sales surged 31.5 percent last year as new services for music and games helped it exceed a target for adding users.
Sales jumped to 36.03 trillion dong ($1.85 billion), the company, also known as Mobifone, said in an e-mailed statement today, without giving a year-earlier figure.
The company continued putting new value-added services into operation last year, including Msearch, Mspace, Mgame and Musicworld, it said without elaborating. Mobifone said it added 5.95 million new subscribers in 2010, equivalent to 119 percent of its original target.
The company, which didn’t give a figure for total subscribers in today’s statement, had 24 million users at the end of 2009, it said in February last year.
