GTT retirees to benefit from 75% discount on internet service

Retired staff of the Guyana Telephone & Telegraph (GTT) Company are set to benefit from a 75 per cent reduction in their internet costs, according to Senior Manager of Public Relations and Corporate Communication, Jasmin Harris.
Harris, who works as the corporate liaison to the Guyana Telecommunications Corporation (GTC)/GTT Pension Association, noted that this move is a small part of much larger plans to improve the lives of these retirees.
“We want to show our dedication to our former team members who have supported GTT for years and aided in the development and evolution through technology,” Harris explained.

GTT has committed to also upgrade the retirees within Fibre areas to Fibre+ Voice, transitioning them from their copper-based DSL and landline services. With Fibre+, you can keep your landline number, enjoy cheaper calls and high-speed internet of up to 150Mbps.
President of GTC/GTT Pensioners Association Donald Nurse related: “It was an interesting and fruitful meeting and I’m glad to realise that the management of GTT was able to bring back into the organisation the pensioners with the experience and knowledge who will be able to rekindle with the organisation.”
These initiatives align with GTT’s promise to strengthen the community. GTT is taking robust steps to strengthen their relationship with and support these pensioners and retirees, including the provision of hampers and vouchers during the Christmas season. In addition, the company will be undertaking welfare visits, and will continue to make provisions for funeral fund benefits along with workshops and training exercises on pertinent matters.
To demonstrate its seriousness in keeping former staff connected, GTT will be giving free mobile phones to members of the Pension Association, preloaded with mmg+ and tutorials on how to use various functions and apps within the phone.
