Lesotho: Telco launches CRBT service

Launched by the company’s product manager, Tlhaku Mokhethi, last week, the new feature provides customers with several ways to sample music and subscribe to the service. The service is compatible with all handset types and allows customers to choose songs from four categories.

“Our customers can choose songs from four content categories which are Gospel, New Release, Top Local and World Music,” Mokhethi was quoted as saying by Lesotho Times.

The New Release category includes local and international songs while Top Local comprises more than 200 tunes from Lesotho and South Africa.

Mokhethi said subscribers could set a total of four CRBTs, which included one general tune for all incoming calls and three for specially selected numbers.

“For instance, a special tone such as a happy birthday song can be set so that the caller hears it when it is their birthday,” he said.

The cost for the service is between $4c and $9c for a period of seven and 30 days respectively.

Econet Telecom Lesotho subscribers can activate the new CRBT service by dialling 148 and following the voice prompts. Alternatively, they can dial *148# to choose options from a menu or SMS ‘ACT’ to 65148.
