On December 7th this year the whole Moldcell team headed by the General Manager, Mr. Chiril Gaburici, and Vice President of TeliaSonera Eurasia, Mr. Halim Ates, greeted the 1 000 000th subscriber in Moldcell family.

The lucky subscriber is Denis Pelin, a young 29 year old man from Ungheni who bought Abonament Moldcell in November to make a present to his wife Daniela. Accompanied by his wife, friends and family, Denis Pelin was greatly surprised to learn that he would get a valuable gift from the operator as a sign of appreciation – a BMW car.

Denis Pelin: „I have been Moldcell subscriber for 8 years. Recently I got married and made a present to my wife - connection to Abonament Moldcell. We are a family, so it is much easier, more comfortable and efficient to also be part of the same “mobile family”. When we were invited to the company, I thought there was organized a campaign or a contest, I would never believe I could be the subscriber who would mark the transition of the operator to the second million of clients. The prize made me speechless. I am very happy!”

Newlyweds are convinced that number 10 is lucky for their family: they got to know each other on the 10th day of a month, they married on 10.10.10, Moldcell company, their mobile operator, celebrated 10th anniversary this year, etc.

Daniela Pelin: „Moldcell is a modern, local, reliable operator; it takes care of its clients. It is very pleasant to be a client of the company that is very similar to you: we have common values, we are young, dynamic, we like music, culture, and educated people. I am proud to be a part of “Moldcell family” that does a lot of good things for children, young people, and society in general.”

After opening a bottle of champagne and making a drive test of the new car, Pelin family, together with Moldcell General Manager and the Vice President of TeliaSonera Eurasia, decorated the last letter of the word MILION in the park of the company with purple stones. This ceremony symbolized the first million in Moldcell subscribers’ database and opening of a new chapter in the activity of the company.

Chiril Gaburici, Moldcell General Manager: ”One million clients is the result of hard work of a team of professionals together with reliable partners and experienced shareholders. The year 2010 is one of the most successful in the history of the company. It is marked by exceptional results – we hit the country with a remarkable rebranding, registered the best growth of the market share among existing mobile operators, with great effects on income, thus, denoting a growth of 19,5%. We enlarged our family to 1 million clients.

The big number of subscribers is important and valuable for us, we are proud that 1 million subscribers in the country prefer quality, technologies and impeccable service and choose Moldcell as their mobile operator. We are an exigent company, while elaborating our offers we pursue the goal to make the life of the people in Moldova more comfortable, easier and more mobile.”

Halim Ates, Vice President of TeliaSonera Eurasia: „2010 was a very good year for the company and the whole TeliaSonera group. Denis and Daniela Pelin make part of a much bigger family than 1 million because the Swedish – Finnish TeliaSonera currently has some 157 millions of subscribers in 20 countries of the world. However, this is not the point to stop. Continuous development evidently assumes considerable investments that TeliaSonera is ready to make.”

Thus, mobile telephony was not a “luxury” anymore and became the way of useful indispensable communication, available anywhere, at any time.
