Mobile Hutch Shops launched

Cellular service provider Hutch has launched a new initiative "� Mobile Hutch Shops "� for faster online customer service to its four lakh subscribers in Andhra Pradesh.

Three mobile vans from cluster points like Hyderabad, Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam will tour across approximately 150 towns in the state to provide services like activation of postpaid connections, sale of prepaid SIM cards and recharge coupons, change of tariff plan, change of mobile number and payment of bills.

The vans will travel a pre-designated route wherein the customers will be alerted about the route and schedule of the vans through an SMS.

States like Gujarat and Karnataka already have such mobile vans and this is for the first time that these are being introduced in Andhra Pradesh.

Samuel Selvakumar, operations director, Hucthison Essar South Limited, said, "Through this initiative, we will be directly reaching our customers and enabling those services that they would get at any of the brick-and-mortar Hutch shops in the state."
