Loop Mobile introduces its own Bazaar

Loop (BPL) Mobile has launched its very own online bazaar called as Mobile Bazaar. Currently on offer are some T-shirts with wacky lines, wrist watches, perfumes and electronics.

The transition is the result of BPL Mobile’s rapid growth and also the deployment of NGIP (Next Generation Internet Protocol) and EDGE technologies.
