New ICT Developments Offered In Malawi
Malawi has in rescent months seen an up surge in use of cordless phones. The
models are all Chinese. The are good because of the following
- Ease of installation and getting a line
- Its mobile within major city you register
- New breed of entrepreneurs ( Used for pay phone ladys)
Its not all rosy
- Models range from MWK 20000 to MWK 50000. Thats expensive
- Not very good to use when connecting on D-up internet.
So in all this is a really good ICT development for Malawi, I believe when the upgrade their
exchanges we should get good services. My hope is that it improves the Internet penetration of and ability of Malawians to communicate.

Nice to hear from you.
Not like the ones you are talkin about.
These phones you buy a unit which has an antenna. Technically speaking its a mobile fon offered
by a Telco which is supposed to offer fixed lines.
Some pple from Malawi who are abroad by the cells and sell them
down this side. But since cells are fashionable try to bring stuff which is of good quality coz generally mobile phone handsets are going down.
Y phones are expensive its down to people being greedy at times its because of the hi costs of bringing a unit to Malawi I guess
