JOHANNESBURG, South Africa—Third mobile network operator Cell C announced it enhanced its directory inquiry service by allowing subscribers to receive numbers via short message service (SMS) at no extra cost.
The service is a departure from the alternative, where a caller must write down a requested number as it is read out.
Cell C Marketing Director Themba Khumalo said, “Added benefits of the service include being able to save the number into a phonebook and deleting the number when it has no further use.”
In addition to the SMS feature, subscribers have the option of being connected to the requested number. The service is charged according to the package the user has opted for, either contract or pre paid.
