Postman is ready to provide call value refill service to True Move subscribers.

"TrueVisions is training our staff to provide the service," Thailand Post chief operating officer Woodtipong Moleechad said yesterday.

The two are discussing a revenuesharing formula.

Thailand Post already provides a delivery service for TrueVisions, having distributed about 4,000 kits to dish buyers nationwide, but does not set them up to receive free TV and some payTV chan¬nels.

Thailand Post is earnestly exploring new business opportunities to increase its revenue.

Yesterday, the state enterprise kicked off a service that will see its 1,200 postmen nationwide acting as agents in topping up the call value for True Move mobilephone subscribers. In the next phase, the number of postmen in the service will reach 5,000.

The two partners will promote each other's products in their shops. True Move has 12 million mobilephone subscribers. Both TrueVisions and True Move are subsidiaries of True Corp.

Thailand Post has also tied with budget airline Thai AirAsia to deliver food from popular restaurants in several provinces to customers in Bangkok.

Thailand Post expects a fullyear net profit of Bt1.63 billion after achieving Bt960 million in the first seven months, up from Bt1.4 billion last year.
