No. 1 in mobile communications in
Morocco
Maroc Telecom is the Moroccan leader in mobile
telecommunications, with 13.3 million clients at year-end 2007 (a
24.5% increase over the year) and 66.5% market share*.
The
operator has a very dynamic policy regarding its products and
services. In 2007, it expanded its range of unlimited communications
in both the prepaid and postpaid segments to develop the use of
voice and data communication offerings. It also lowered access fees
for prepaid plans and the initial fee for a line of packages, and
continued to expand its range of handsets to equip all its customers
with the latest technologies.
New services are now available:
international multimedia messaging, address books, personalized
ringtones, 3G mobile Internet, instant mobile messaging and
Blackberry®.
Mobisud, Maroc Telecom’s mobile virtual network
operator, was launched at the end of 2006 in France and expanded to
Belgium in 2007. It offers prepaid plans with favorable rates for
calls to all Moroccan fixed-line and mobile operators, as well as to
Mobisud mobile phones.

No. 1 in fixed-line telephony in
Morocco
Maroc Telecom offers individuals and corporate customers a wide
range of fixed-line telecommunications services: voice
communication, data transmission, Internet access and TV via ADSL.
It is the leader on this market, which was recently opened to
competition.
Offers for residential customers, marketed under
the El Manzil brand, include communications plans, packages, and
rechargeable capped plans. By the end of 2007, the number of Maroc
Telecom fixed lines had increased 1.8% over the year to nearly 1.3
million.* This was mainly due to the success of the unlimited
offerings marketed under the Phony brand.
Thanks to a
comprehensive offering – voice, data transmission and Internet – and
the introduction of new services, Maroc Telecom has witnessed steady
growth in its professional and corporate subscriber
portfolio.
Maroc Telecom, the Moroccan leader in Internet
access, further consolidated its positions in 2007, in particular
through regular price decreases in its ADSL offering and frequent
promotions. Its TV via ADSL offering broadcasts nearly 80
channels.
