this not fair on gambian back home to be charge for so much on calls, lets all the gambian stand together to see the goverment get gamtel back and be run by gambians. thanks, boy uk
I READ THE ARTICLE ABOUT GATEL. IT IS VERY SAD FR A COUNTRY LIKE THE GAMBIA THAT LOVES ITS PEOLE TO CHARGE MORE ON ITS OWN CITIZEN. I THINK WE WOULDLE TO SEE EVEY GAMBIA TO HAVE APHOTNE LINE IN HIS OR HER HOUSE FOR COMMUNICATIONS BUT IF AGAIN THE COUNTRY IS CHARGING MORE CUSTOMERS FOR WAT THEY DID NOT USE I THINK ISVRY WRONG, WE HAVE TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND TAKE IT SERIOUSLY WE ARE GAMBIANS AND WE ARE PROUD OF THE COUNTRY AN ITS PEOPLE SO D'T LET US DWN IN COMMUNICATION AND THERE SHOULD BE A CHEAPER COST FOR EVERYONE THANKS LONG LIVE THE GAMBIA LONG LIVE THE PRESIDENT ALLAH BE WITH YOU A M E N BY KUNGIRA KOLLEY
It is really sad to see Gamtel going in the drain like this.Gamtel was once one of the best if not the best company in the Gambia with a very effective management team controlled by Gambians only.Gamtel used to embark on effective staff training both nationally and internationally with fairly cheaper tariffs and i bet now one would hardly see that due to the simple fact that the new management are just after their money and don't care hud about the staff,customers and the country as a whole.The president should look into this whole thing again for the benefit of the country because at the end of the day these people will go back to Lebanon and leave us to start it all over again.What a sad news. Thanks,Lang
