The four day “Switch It up” campaign in Berbice organized by Telephone Company GT&T is attracting thousands to every venue.
So far the campaign which started on Thursday at Rosignol has also rolled into New Amsterdam on Friday and at Spready’s Tarmac at Rose Hall Town on Saturday and is expected to end Today and Corriverton.
However, the campaign is not without its challenges and confusion. At New Amsterdam on Friday pandemonium broke out when thousands flocked the original venue at Pitt Street, forcing traffic to back up and spill over on the road between the busy Market and Pitt Street areas.
The organisers had to shift gear when they realized that the situation was getting out of hand. The venue was then hurriedly changed to the Little Rock Suites on Main and Church streets, forcing those in the line to rejoin a new line thus adding to more confusion. Eventually after some time the situation was brought to some semblance of order with the help of police ranks who were busy directing traffic which was backing up regularly as the crowd spilled onto the Main road.
Among those in attendance were local soca duo of ‘Times Two’ Adrian Dutchin and Jumo Primo and Kirk ‘Chow Pow’ Jardin.
‘Chow Pow’ spent most of the day on the microphone trying to maintain law and order. He later told the media that the promotion kick started on May 25 at the BlackBerry Office in Georgetown. It has gone to Linden, and now in Berbice. After which it will move to Essequibo in a few days. He also mentioned that all those who did not get through now will have a second chance. Additionally, a second team will do a sweep of the areas to catch those who did not get through now.
The promotion basically offers customers from the other network to switch to GT&T mobile network with an incentive of $500 free credit weekly for 10 weeks. One of the main attractions for the promotion is that customers will pay a mere $1000 for a special brand GT&T ‘Shango’ phone which has features like radio and torchlight.
Several other incentives are also on offer including winning a house at GT&T’s scheduled drawing slated for July 2nd.
