Telecel Ghana is the Ghanaian subsidiary of Telecel Group, an African focused telecommunications company.[1] In February 2023, Telecel Group completed a deal to acquire 70% shares of Vodafone Ghana in Ghana Telecom Company Limited, effectively rebranding Vodafone Ghana into Telecel Ghana.[2]
In February 2024, Telecel Ghana announced immense network expansion in Ghana by adding 300 new 4G sites in record time.[3]
Internet disruption[edit]
In March 2024, the company lost internet connectivity due to a cut in their undersea cables.[4] This led to the disruption of services on fixed and mobile networks.[5] Later, they secured internet capacity through local and international partners.[6][7]
