GP introduces first ever mobile data plan feature in BD

Staff Reporter :
Grameenphone has introduced a Mobile Data Plan (MDP) feature for the first time in Bangladesh to facilitate android users to manage their mobile data usage and price plans directly from the phones.
This feature shall help GP, the connectivity partner to digital Bangladesh, curate personalised data plans accordingly by allowing them to optimise their data usage.
The MDP feature enables mobile carriers to notify and alert customers when their data plan is nearing exhaustion and enables customers to benefit from personalised offers, an alert system, data-usage management tools, and a specialised interface.
Users can purchase a data pack, check their data balance, and receive threshold notifications seamlessly through the MDP feature. The solution eliminates the need for memorising codes or downloading additional applications for data management, according to a press release.
Both prepaid and postpaid customers of GP can access the plan management feature via the ‘Settings’ option on their Android devices.
The feature will be rolled out progressively to all GP customers in the next few months. Users will require handsets supporting Android 4.4 and above to enjoy this plan management feature.
Yasir Azman, CEO of GP said, “We believe MDP is an important milestone in bringing customer delight as now our customers will be more empowered to control their data plan. We are happy to introduce this simple yet meaningful customer-centric solution in collaboration with Google.”  
With the 4IR on the horizon, it is now crucial to drive our nation towards the digital bubbles and GP’s cost-efficient internet solutions address this need, enabling people to unleash possibilities.
