Video calls between ArmenTel and VivaCell subscribes will soon become possible
"3G network launch will contribute to company's image and aims to satisfy consumers' demands," ArmenTel Sales Director Genadiy Kalgashkin told a press-conference during 500 000th video-caller award event. According to him, expenses for the first stage of network introduction are not compensated in any country of the world, still 3G system call is a call of time. "Many of our young subscribers are innovators interested in such up-to-date programs, and 3G networks aim to satisfy their demands," he added.

Genadiy Kalgashkin also said video-calls between ArmenTel and VivaCell subscribers are being tested.

In that connection, Anoush Begloyan considered the issue a matter of time since VivaCell has only recently launched the 3G system.

ArmenTel launched the 3G commercial in September 2008, registering over 2 million calls and 0.5 million video-calls since.

ArmenTel CJSC is a subsidiary (trade mark: Beeline) of VimpelCom Group, consisting of telecommunications operators providing voice and data services through a range of wireless, fixed and broadband technologies.
