@MobitelSriLanka – The Polycephalic


The Plum Switch (http://www.plum-mobile.com/models/switch) is a great mobile phone + USB dongle + WiFI hotspot and Mobitel sells it here in Sri Lanka. I wanted to buy one and contacted @MobitelSriLanka in Twitter. After a long conversation I found out that it is network unlocked and available for 9,990LKR.

However, just to double check, I called Mobitel Customer Care and the one who initially talked to me didn’t knew anything about the device and took about 5 minutes to ask someone else about the matter. Even after that, she insisted the mobile phone is a Nokia one.

Then I called Matara branch, where I’d be purchasing the device. Fortunately they knew about the existence of Plum Switch, but they told me it is network locked. Not what @MobitelSriLanka said on Twitter.

Having multiple heads with multiple mouths telling completely opposite things confuses existing and potential customers, Mobitel.

  1. Its actually the same price as Mobitel but you wouldn’t be able to get the free data bundle which is on offer…
