“M1 is glad to be able to make a small contribution in creating these new plans to cater to the needs of the deaf and hard of hearing individuals. We recognise that these individuals communicate through e-mail, SMS, MMS, instant messaging, social media applications and video calls. Hence, we hope our generous bundles will enhance the way they stay connected.” said P. Subramaniam, Chief Marketing Officer, M1 Limited.
