Third telco player DITO Telecommunity that it has reached 2 million subscribers as of Aug. 1 as it expands services to more areas in the country.
“We in DITO are pleased to announce that as of the first of August, two-million Filipinos have joined our fast-growing telecommunity,” DITO chief administrative officer Adel Tamano said in a statement.
The telco, operated by Dennis Uy's companies with China Telecom, hit one million subscribers in mid-June.
"These two milestones have inspired us to remain steadfast in our goal of building strong communities with even stronger connectivity in the years to come," he said.
In addition, DITO said it has expanded into 10 more areas while 17 would be covered by Aug. 6.
DITO is also working with Globe Telecom and PLDT Inc's Smart Communication for the implementation of the Number Portability Law in September.
Under the measure, mobile number users will be able to keep their numbers when switching providers.
Tamano said this would encourage telcos to improve their services to gain and retain loyal customers.
