One of the Seychelles’ leading telecommunication companies – Cable and Wireless Seychelles – will provide customers with a paperless
service from August. The telecom company will no longer print bills, thereby avoiding felling of trees. The company has been working to
provide all customers with an alternative to monthly paper bills for a while.
Clients will soon be getting their bills through email, SMS messages, through the Mycare service or by using a client’s card with a unique QR code. To get a QR code – a machine-readable code consisting of an array of black and white squares – a customer will need to register on Mycare. Clients can use cable kiosks to scan the code, which will display their bill and information.
Customers appeared to welcome news of the change.
For the non-tech savvy customer, a free card can be obtained from their customer service centre, which will contain their QR codes and
account number. World over, telecom companies have switched over to digital system for sending bills and collecting payments from the
customers. But this is not very common in Seychelles and other island nations. It is expected that this culture catches up with them. .
