After the initial influx fleeing Syria, Turkcell has taken
immediate action to provide refugees with mobile connectivity and
services for integration of refugees. Out of these efforts is Hello
Hope app that supports the community, and the app has opened up a
new subscriber base for Turkcell. Through the app, Turkcell eased
the adaptation phase of refugees to Turkey through teaching Turkish
language skills, instant speech translation and guidance on
registration and essential public services.
“Through Hello Hope App and providing mobile connectivity to
refugees, we have proven that telcos have the transformative power
to do good even for such a global crisis,” says Omer Barbaros Yis,
Turkcell CMO. “Improving support to displaced Syrian community was
an imperative for Turkcell. From day one, Turkcell has been a
pioneer in mobilizing the power of communication to support
refugees with concrete and proactive actions. These efforts have
made Turkcell the operator of choice for Syrian refugees.”
Launched in 2016 and downloaded over 1 million times, Hello Hope
application has now reached 565 million of Turkish-language
learning flashcards, 15 million of instant speech translation
service use, and more than 5.5 million of FAQ views.
