Expanding SMS Services in Ghana
XLBrowser is a mobile software application that utilises SMS to provide instant access to local and global information using a mobile phone.
The head of innovations and business development, MTN Ghana, says, “MTN Ghana has been highly recommended for bringing constant innovation to the Ghanaian telecommunications industry, we are pleased to be the first network within MTN to launch this unique XLBrowser service platform.”
An example of one of these Mobile Solutions Providers is txtNation who has a heavy presence in Ghana and strong links to the Network providers.
Ghana has 3,035,245 subscribers (20% penetration) and three main networks. txtNation’s mBILL is connected to Areeba, OneTouch, tiGo and Kasapa to bring business to over 3 million mobile phone users in Ghana.
With a strong mobile market, Ghana has great potential for further growth in mobile service provision due to the country’s poor fixed-line infrastructure. SMS messages sent in Ghana are said to have grown from 22,000 to over 130,000 in recent years. There is a great deal of media freedom across the lively press and broadcast outlets. Phone-in programmes, particularly on radio, are extremely popular.

Ghana Market place becoming more Mobile
Through web pages and text messages TradeNet allows rural farmers to advertise their merchandise to an international market and find the fairest price for their crops.
Many people visiting Africa for the first time are surprised to see so many mobile phones, especially in rural areas. Even in the smallest villages they see numerous advertisements from mobile operators. However, estimates suggest that by 2010, half of Africa’s population will own mobile phones and more than 90% of communities will be covered by a signal. The power of those figures cannot be underestimated. The big question remains: how can this access be a successful channel for delivering key information to a population whose main source of income is agriculture?
Study upon study has revealed that access to good market information can increase revenues for everyone along the supply chain – producers, collectors, traders, transporters and exporters. Until now, it has been difficult and expensive to develop an affordable and efficient way to both collect and distribute relevant market information. The advancement of mobile networks in Africa has changed that and systems are already in place that will help rural farmers get better, fairer prices for their efforts.
Anyone in the world can visit the TradeNet website and search through more than 7000 contacts, hundreds of groups and up to date offers to buy and sell from all over Africa. 800,000 prices from hundreds of markets, spanning a range of countries available to search and compare. There are also searchable news and library sections.
Anyone registered with TradeNet can text information to the website using a set of codes. Here’s how it works. A farmer in northern Ghana is selling 20 tonnes of millet. The farmer sends an sms stating SELL MILO 20MT to TradeNet’s international number and that information is processed by the software and immediately published on the website. The same details are also redistributed to every other user that has signed up to receive alerts on millet sales in Ghana.

SMS changing the lives of Ghanaians
Businesses have been conducted through SMS, deals have been sealed simply by SMS and some people have walked away with successful transactions in Ghana.
A sports journalist says SMS is the best way for him to express his love to his girlfriend. He said he enjoys the thrill that the beeping of the cell phone gives and the anticipated happiness that follows when his girlfriend scrolls down her mobile phone reading the caring and loving words he has sent to her.
Busylab, a subsidiary of Busyinternet in Ghana has developed a system known as tradenet, it is a SMS platform that allows farmers and traders in agricultural products to conduct business across Africa. They can easily access agricultural products and prices by sending a text message to a number that has been provided on the system.
That is the power of mobile telephony unleashed through the SMS technology.
