AirtelTigo, born from the merger of Airtel and Tigo on November 14, 2017, announces that it has successfully completed the integration and upgrading of its network this year. The last step was the integration and upgrading in the Western, Central and Greater Accra region after the works realized in the North, the Upper East, Upper West, Brong Ahafo, Ashanti, Volta and Eastern.
