From its own smartphone to a “smart home”: A1 shares its plans

Having completed the rebranding process, A1 - a provider of telecommunications, ICT and content services - presented its new products and highlighted the priorities in the development of the company.

On August 12, 2019 the company shifted to the use of A1 brand in its operational activities. Starting from that day, the clients of the company will enjoy mobile and fixed communications network services, cloud storage and data processing services, interactive TV as well as entertainment content. All of the above is provided by the same provider.

Initiation of “A1 Alpha” smartphone sales under its own brand served as a key moment following the rebranding. The smartphone stands out due to its contemporary design, a large 6.26-inch screen, double primary 13+2 MP camera with artificial-intelligence technology, and huge internal memory equal to 64 GB which can be extended up to 256 GB. In addition, an official warranty for the mobile device has been extended. Now it is 24 months. Enjoy flawless functioning of your phone twice as long! The smartphone is available in black and turquoise colours.

The new product may function in the networks of all Belarusian operators. A1 has prepared a special offer for its subscribers: a monthly payment ranging from 9.90 BYN if you choose a 30-month instalment plan, or a special price at the rate of 199 BYN in case of one-time payment.

Beyond that, starting from August 12, 2019 А1 subscribers will be among the first in Belarus to enjoy the benefits of having an eSIM in their mobile devices. The eSIM is a new generation virtual digital SIM card. From now on, the only thing the buyers of a new smartphone supporting an eSIM will have to do is to activate the device and scan a special operator’s QR code. Customizing your phone and making use of A1 mobile services is just a few clicks away. The list of devices supporting the eSIM may be extended as the brand new products of leading manufactures become available. At this stage of technology implementation, in order to connect the еSIM a subscriber needs to visit any of A1 sales and service centres, or order an eSIM in A1 online store along with a smartphone or a tablet supporting a new technology.

Launching a convenient mobile app called “My A1” is another interesting offer for our subscribers. The app allows its users having an access to the information on their balance, remaining minutes and traffic. It also allows managing available services and adding new ones. In the near future A1 will introduce a new service called “А1 Smart Home”. Once made available, it will turn a typical smartphone into a convenient house management tool. It will help you take care of comfort and safety of people as well as of property. It will also help save electric power and cope with typical daily activities by managing “smart” household appliances in automatic mode based on the user scripts.

If you are interested in new offers and products of the company, you can visit one of our brand shops or test our products in details at A1 digital services centre in Minsk (36 Internatsionalnaya St.) which is the first new-format store of the company offering its visitors a special user experience. Apart from the equipment, the visitors can familiarize themselves with a wide range of mobile services and fixed Internet offers intended for private and corporate clients as well as with VOKA interactive television. Moreover, A1 digital services centre staff will provide you with the updated information on the innovative ICT services for business.

Within the frame of its development strategy, A1 focuses on convergence – integration of separate services into a comprehensive proposal from one provider. The company will develop business services in the same spirit. At present, А1 not only provides mobile services and the Internet to its corporate clients, but also offers an extensive services package for businesses of all sizes with special emphasis on security. For instance, the data centre of the company is one of the largest in Belarus. It has recently confirmed its compliance with the information security standard ISO 27001.

At the same time, A1 plans to do its utmost to develop the sphere of entertainment content based on the VOKА video service. During the night of 11 to 12 August velcom cinema multiplex favoured by Minsk residents and located at Shopping and Recreation Centre Dana Mall in Minsk, changed its name and visual design. From now on it will be known as VOKA CINEMA. On August 16, which marks the 5th anniversary of our video service, six halls of VOKA CINEMA will be engaged in special festive screening for the clients who have received invitations. Apart from that, VOKA will be giving gifts to its current and new clients for the whole month. Moreover, pretty soon the viewers will be able to enjoy first panoramic movie-watching experience at VOKA CINEMA. After the reconstruction, one of the movie halls will be turned into the first ScreenX cinema hall in the country.

Starting from September 2019, VOKA launches a project aimed at localization of movies for the Belarusian market and their translation into Belarusian in cooperation with the SilverScreen cinema chain.

All information about the company, its services and innovations is available on the Internet at a new address: A1.by. The single phone number of our call centre is 150.
