This is the first time that Bemobile has used SMS voting for the MPIP PNG contestants.
Bemobile Brand and Communications Manager, Merlyn Kriebisch said the pageant and its scholarship fund for girls was a good cause to support, and the SMS voting would be a novel way to introduce Bemobile’s many users to the Pageant.
