Go Mobile has entered into an agreement with an American company, Brightpoint Inc., which will provide Go Mobile wireless prepaid products and integrated services related to the Maltese GSM operator's services.

Under this agreement, Brightpoint will provide its services from its facility at the Dubai Airport free zone, in the United Arab Emirates.

Brightpoint will provide prepaid fulfilment and distribution services to Go Mobile, including prepaid SIM card packaging and recharge card management, together with recharge cards for Go Mobile's authorised outlets throughout Malta.

The agreement was announced last week and was signed between Brightpoint's subsidiary - Brightpoint Middle East FZE - and Go Mobile.

Brightpoint will also supply Go Mobile with fulfilment and distribution services and wireless handsets for Go Mobile's authorised dealers throughout Malta under this agreement.
