Mid August signals the count down to back to school when parents and students begin to busy themselves with getting school supplies together. With this knowledge, Cable & Wireless has thrown a number or educational tools into the mix as students and teachers prepare to return to the classrooms and vacationing parents to work.
Said Chief Executive Pat Walters, “Cable & Wireless is excited to provide the tools for success to our young people by offering compelling values that would provide them with cutting edge technology to enable easy access to education.”
The current HP/Xnet deal would come in handy to make homework research faster and more fun, whilst bringing savings to parents when school supplies can be so expensive. Meanwhile, as a measure of goodwill, Cable & Wireless will give pencil cases with the purchase of selected discounted mobile phones that form part of the packaged offer. The phone offer starts on August 15th until stocks last.
With the number of extra curricular activities in which children are engaged after school, parents will also be delighted to know of the happy hour promotion with talk and text at 1cent. This would make contacting students easier and more affordable as arrangements are made for pick up and drop off for extra classes or sporting activities. This offer is expected to run for one month as of September 3rd.
Summing up the back to school offers, Chris Hetherington, Chief Executive Officer, Cable & Wireless Americas and Caribbean, said, “Back to School is an important time of the year for families all over the world. This year in the Caribbean, we’re able to offer better tools than ever for student of all ages. From sleek new phones to usage credit, we hope our services enable students to find information faster, learning more about the world and excelling whether they are studying Maths or Mozambique. As a company we play an important role in education in the communities where we do business, and that’s a privilege we are honoured to enjoy.”
