Member for Maprik, John Simon, was accompanied by the town’s Mayor, Paul Dugi, to officiate at the launch of the Mobile service last Thursday, 21st December, 2017.
“We have seen Maprik grown from strength to strength. Maprik town has elevated to the urban status as its seen today where today there is a lot of business and cash flow activities. Telikom make no mistake for bringing your services here as you can see Maprik Township has booming business activities happening here,” Mayor Dugi remarked.

“Mipla fortunate. Mipla very very fortunate sampla district long Papua New Guinea ol inogat displa network blong Telikom yet. The best, cheapest network ol inogat yet. Maprik we are fortunate.

He shared of his experience using Telikom mobile service and was pleased with the call and data rates that lasted for some time.
“I have used Telikom’s mobile service and I am telling you it is the most reliable service. There are many districts in the country that don’t have Telikom’s mobile network and I feel sorry for them. For us in Maprik, you have no excuse. The service is here and along the highway into Wewak,” Mr Simon remarked.
Telikom Regional Business manager NCD – John Ovia who represented Telikom management at the launch acknowledged the support of the Honorable Member, the mayor and the district administration to have Telikom establish its service in the district. He said it was not just mobile service that Telikom was delivering to the people of Maprik but a new installation of the MSAN switch at Maprik exchange will deliver better connectivity for landline users as well.
