SLD Telecom of the Republic of Korea and the Saigon Post and Telecommunication Services Corp. (Saigon Postel) will invest 260 million USD to expand S-Fone, the first CDMA-technology mobile phone service provider in Viet Nam.

S-Fone is expected to cover the whole country and carry out a series of new value-added services in late May.

By the third quarter of this year, S-Fone will provide subscribers with video-on-demand (VOD) and music-on-demand (MOD) services through mobile phones.

S-Fone users can enjoy many other services such as 240-character text messages, Internet access and mobile games.

S-Fone is left far behind in the market by Vinaphone, MobiFone and Viettel, with between 400,000 and 500,000 subscribers out of an estimated 12 million phone users in Viet Nam.-Enditem
