Hormuud Telecom <\/a>has launched an innovative smartphone financing plan aimed at making smartphones more affordable and boosting digital inclusion across Somalia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new initiative allows customers to acquire latest smartphones through flexible monthly instalments, removing the major barrier of high upfront costs. This is expected to help thousands of Somalis, especially young people, students, and small business owners, get connected to the internet and participate fully in the digital economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With smartphone ownership still limited in many parts of the country due to cost, Hormuud\u2019s financing scheme offers a practical solution. Customers can now choose from a range of popular Android devices and pay gradually while enjoying full access to mobile money services, internet, education platforms, and business tools from day one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The telecom giant, which already dominates Somalia\u2019s telecommunications landscape, sees this move as a major step toward bridging the digital divide. Reliable internet access and smartphone ownership are increasingly essential for education, healthcare, commerce, and financial services in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hormuud officials noted that the financing plan is designed to be simple, transparent, and accessible, with straightforward eligibility criteria and repayment options that fit the daily realities of Somali citizens. The company is leveraging its strong distribution network and mobile money platform (EVC+) to make the process smooth and secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This launch comes at a time when Somalia is experiencing rapid growth in digital adoption. More people are using mobile internet for everything from sending money to accessing online learning and market information. By making smartphones easier to own, Hormuud aims to accelerate this positive trend and support broader economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many Somalis, especially in rural areas and among lower-income groups, this financing plan could be life-changing, opening doors to new opportunities that were previously out of reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hormuud Telecom continues to demonstrate its commitment to not just providing connectivity, but also enabling meaningful digital participation across the country. The smartphone financing plan is now available through Hormuud outlets and authorised dealers nationwide.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
