Text-only Facebook and Messenger
Text-only Facebook is an offer that helps Grameenphone customers stay connected more consistently. When customers run out of data, text-only Facebook enables them to remain connected and access important text-based information online until they have data again. Through this service, people who have run out of data will be able to view text-based information such as the Ministry of Education’s Facebook pages, as well as other education and health information such as the COVID Information Center on Facebook. Students are increasingly using Ministry of Education pages on Facebook to prepare for SSC and HSC examinations, and text-only Facebook and Messenger will allow underprivileged students to stay connected more consistently. If a customer wishes to view photos and videos, they can do so once they have purchased a data pack from Grameenphone.
Discover:
Discover is a mobile app and web browser that enables people to browse text on the internet without charges for up to 15MB per day and up to 150MB a month. Beyond this, Grameenphone customers can purchase data from Grameenphone to view and access all photos and videos on the internet.
Discover helps those who are under-connected stay connected with access to resources on the internet more consistently. This offer will be especially critical where COVID-19 lockdowns have limited mobility and thus the ability to top-up mobile credit regularly, ensuring that Government information related to health, education, and other important information can be accessible to all users as needed. It will also be an important tool for the students as they prepare for national examinations and will have continued access to text-based exam preparation materials and school notices.
Users of Discover & text-only Facebook in other markets have found that these services are useful to stay connected and to have access to education resources and schoolwork, health information, job tools, and other online resources. We aim to support the Government’s digital connectivity aspirations through these services to bridge the digital gap for unconnected users. Such services will help to achieve the Bangladesh Government’s aspirations to ensure affordable connectivity to all. This is a permanent offer and the detailed offers are shown in the table below:
