Press 1 for English....

This is for my uncle because all of his Gabon stories predate the telephone :)

So we are setting up these cellphones for a project in Zambia and i had to call the mobile service company customer service.

"Welcome to MTN! Press 1 for English.."

And i was curious as to what the other options were so i listened on

"Press 2 for Bemba

"Press 3 for Nyanja

"Press 4 for Tonga

I stopped at 9. 

Now that's modern africa for you. Mind you, if we were in Congo you'd need at least 400 options...
