Social Media is doing wonders in corporate communications and boosting the business like anything. Updating the valued customers through social media is the easiest way and doesn’t cost you a single penny. It’s a great success for Ufone to have the highest number of facebook fans among the other cellular services. What gives edge to Ufone over its competitors is their page being exciting, interactive and as well as informative.
