COOL FACTS ABOUT AFRICA There are over one thousand languages spoken in Africa by its various tribes and people, and there are more French speakers in Africa than in France.

Africa is home to the longest river (the Nile, running through 11 countries), the largest waterfall (Victoria Falls on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe) and the largest desert, the Sahara.

The Sahara desert is almost as big as the continental United States! Can you imagine the entire U.S. covered in sand dunes?

There is a beer brewed from bananas that comes from Africa called “Raha”.

You might think tigers live in Africa because lions, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, and rhinos do – but tigers only live in Asia.

RETAILER REMIX This month, we’re featuring several of our Ultra representatives alongside their Retailers with large customer bases in Africa. Ultras who work together sell more together! Here’s what they had to say: door. Nigeria, Somalia and Ethiopia occupy the neighborhood and have made me their neighborhood store. With free bonus minutes on uTalk this has helped me get my customers connected to their friends and family back home.

WHERE ARE YOUR CUSTOMERS FROM? NIKO GASPAR is our Ultra Field Account Rep covering the Chicago area! Niko visited Kasim at BestCom Wireless to talk about Ultra's new uTalk destinations in Africa and this is what they had to say!

People from Somalia and Ethiopia have been in the neighborhood since I have been here and now Ultra has solutions for them.

DOES UTALK HELP YOUR CUSTOMERS?

Giving them some free minutes to call home when they are typically expensive countries to call helps.

WHAT DO THEY LOVE ABOUT IT?

KASIM KISHTA Bestcom Wireless Chicago, Illinois Selling Ultra since 2014

HOW IS UTALK BENEFICIAL TO YOUR CUSTOMERS?

I have a large amount of people from Africa near me and an Ethiopian restaurant next

That they have bonus minutes to countries that typically do not get minutes to those countries. This gives me an opportunity to present Ultra to customers that may be on another carrier since they can get free minutes to call.

WHICH NEW COUNTRIES ON UTALK ARE THEY EXCITED TO CALL?

Ethiopia will probably be the most beneficial.

With an Ethiopian restaurant next door this can help when customers walk by.

MARCH 2019

WHAT NEW DEMOGRAPHICS/ SEGMENTS OF CUSTOMERS ARE YOUR RETAILERS NOW ABLE TO ACQUIRE/BETTER SERVICE WITH ULTRA?

Nigerians. uTalk helps tremendously to get them to switch from competitors. Having more African demos such as Egypt and Cameroon help as well.

Ultra Account Manager MICHAEL BUSCH and Retailer Tehseen Shafique of RB Cell know the Houston area has a generous Nigerian customer base. Here’s why they’re excited about new uTalk destinations in Africa!

WHAT DO YOUR RETAILERS LIKE ABOUT UTALK – WHAT WAS THEIR REACTION WHEN YOU TOLD THEM ABOUT THE REFRESH?

The customers are excited and in disbelief with the new uTalk options in Nigeria. They often ask, 'is this for real?”

WHAT ARE YOUR RETAILERS MOST EXCITED ABOUT?

TEHSE EN SHAFIQU E RB Cell Houston, Texas Selling Ultra since 2014

HOW DOES UTALK HELP RETAILERS GET MORE CUSTOMERS?

Having more bonus minutes to Nigeria, in store print advertising helps to promote as well. Also having something in the window for uTalk drives traffic into the store.

Calling home! Many customers don’t think there’s a phone company that has minutes for free included in plan. A lot of retailers are looking forward to pushing uTalk to customers on plans at comparable price points with competitors.

WHICH NEW COUNTRIES ON UTALK ARE THEY EXCITED TO CALL?

Cameroon, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates

IDRIS GANI The Cellular Wiz Decatur, Georgia Selling Ultra since 2014 Ultra Account Manager VANESSA MORTON covers the customer base in Atlanta, and is always there for her Retailers like Idris Gani at The Cellular Wiz!

HOW IS UTALK BENEFICIAL TO YOUR CUSTOMERS?

uTalk is beneficial to my customers because it gives them peace of mind knowing they have the ability to call home without exorbitant fees. It’s a great way for my customers to stay connected with their friends and family back home.

WHERE ARE YOUR CUSTOMERS FROM?

My customer base is very diverse but most of my customers are from Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan and Kenya.

"

DOES UTALK HELP YOUR CUSTOMERS?

Yes, it helps my customers a lot because the majority of my customers call most of the uTalk African countries. I was very excited to hear about the additions because other carriers don’t have the best offers.

WHAT DO THEY LOVE ABOUT IT?

They love the simplicity of having bonus minutes that target their country and that it’s affordable unlike other calling cards or plans. They also like direct calling unlike calling cards where you need to dial an access code and PIN.

WHICH NEW COUNTRIES ON UTALK ARE THEY EXCITED TO CALL?

They’re excited about having Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia added.

MARCH 2019

HOW IS UTALK HELPING RETAILERS GET MORE CUSTOMERS?

The 500 minutes to Nigeria on uTalk has helped Billy, EP Wireless, switch more customers from competitive carriers, and gotten customers who were using Boss Revolution to start using Ultra. He explains to them that mobile calls are included and that calls are direct dial. He’s also excited as he's been getting referrals from existing Nigerian customers.

WHAT NEW DEMOGRAPHICS ARE THEY ABLE TO ACQUIRE? MAYRA SORIANO is an LA South Account Executive and has been selling Ultra since 2014. She visited Billy Ake at EP Wireless in Gardena, California to talk about why new uTalk destinations rock. Here’s what they had to say!

BILLY AKE EP Wireless Gardena, California

Nigeria is currently their 3rd top country, but Billy believes that our new uTalk Africa offer will help him expand his Nigerian demographic.

WHAT DOES THE RETAILER LIKE ABOUT UTALK?

That he can finally offer an inexpensive plan with bonus minutes to Nigeria. He says that many customers would complain about carriers not offering bonus minutes to Nigeria, so he was excited to tell his customers about uTalk. He was also excited about putting up the new uTalk posters.
