Dhaka, Bangladesh (BBN)– Banglalink users will get the chance to find, try and buy Google Play contents with their mobiles soon, as VimpelCom, the maximum shareholder of Orascom and parent entity of Banglalink, announced the signing of a deal with Google recently.
A dedicated “VimpelCom Channel” will make it easy for VimpelCom customers across its markets to navigate their way among the 600,000 apps available in the Google Play store.
Available via the local Google Play store that brings Google digital goods, including apps, games, Google books, Google music and Google movies, the VimpelCom channel will feature dozens of apps, tailored to offer local content and services.
The cost of any purchased app will be deducted from a customer’s prepaid credit or added to their monthly bill, a VimpelCom statement said.
“The collaboration with Google will provide our customers around the world with a convenient way to access and pay for millions of apps, games and songs, significantly enhancing the smartphone experience in countries where banking and credit card services are not widely used,” said Mikhail Gerchuk, VimpelCom’s group chief commercial officer.
