With over 7.4 million subscribers as of September 2009, MTN is easily Ghana’s leading telecommunications network, offering mobile telephony services, Internet connectivity and more.

Wednesday, October 14, 2009
MTN Ghana is annoying a lot of their subscribers with the persistent text messages from 2010, yours truly included. All a subscriber has to do is text “Go” to the number 2010 and he/she is then burdened with the misfortune of being bombarded with text messages morning, afternoon and evening entreating him/her to keep texting [...]

The shrieking SMS ringtone from a phone woke me up at 12:39am. I could not sleep thereafter. After tossing from one end of the bed to the other for another 10 minutes and still being awake, I resorted to doing the only thing natural for a geek like me; powering my laptop computer to get [...]

Friday, April 17, 2009

Wednesday, May 23, 2007
I am saying Short Messaging Service (SMS) via cellular networks has become mainstream in Ghana, because corporate and government institutions are now embracing it as an effective medium of communicating to the populace.
