AirtelTigo, a telecommunication service provider, has rebranded as AT.
In an SMS circulated to all customers, the company said the following:
Dear Customer, We’re happy to announce to you that AirtelTigo is now AT, so going forward, call us AT. Life is simple!
A top official of the company confirmed to Techfocus24 that “Yes, a press conference will be held at 10 am this morning – our name will change to the more simple ‘AT’.”
It would be recalled that Techfocus24 reported that after the government purchased the company for US$1 following the exit of Bharti Airtel (Airtel) and Millicom (Tigo) from Ghana in 2021, it has been working on transferring shares to another investor.
Unconfirmed reports say the company is currently being sold to a UK-based private equity firm, Hannam and Partners which is mainly known for its work in the mining and finance sectors, with no known experience in telecoms.
The company is however said to have drafted Oracle as a partner for the AirtelTigo acquisition deal.
Sources disclosed to Techfocus24 that the AirtelTigo (AT) network is currently being retooled with Oracle’s technology. But a top official of the company said “I can neither confirm nor deny that information.”
