===Village phone===

With the help of Grameenphone, Grameen Telecom operates the national [[Village Phone]] program, alongside its own parent [[Grameen Bank]] and the [[International Finance Corporation]] (IFC), acting as the sole provider of telecommunications services to a number of rural areas. Most Village Phone participants are women living in remote areas. Village Phone works as an owner-operated [[GSM]] payphone whereby a borrower takes a [[Bangladeshi taka|BDT]] 12,000 (US$200) loan from [[Grameen Bank]] to subscribe to Grameenphone and is then trained on how to operate it and how to charge others to use it at a profit. As of September 2006, there are more than 255,000 Village Phones in operation in 55,000 villages around Bangladesh. This program has been replicated also in some other countries including [[Uganda]] and [[Rwanda]] in [[Africa]].<ref name="gsmworld">{{cite press release |url=http://www.gsmworld.com/news/press_2006/press06_52.shtml  |url-status=dead |title=Grameenphone Rolls Out Affordable Internet Access Across Bangladesh |date=17 October 2006 |website=GSM Association |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929102819/http://www.gsmworld.com/news/press_2006/press06_52.shtml |archive-date=29 September 2007}}</ref>

===Community Information Centers===

Community Information Center (CIC) or GPCIC was an initiative aimed at providing internet access and other communications services to rural areas. In February 2006, 26 CICs were established across the country as a pilot project. In this project, Grameenphone provided [[GSM]]/[[Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution|EDGE]]/[[GPRS]] infrastructure and technical support and other partners Grameen Telecom Corporation and Society for Economic and Basic Advancement (SEBA), were involved in selecting and training entrepreneurs to run the village centers. These CICs were used for a wide variety of business and personal purposes, from accessing health and agricultural information to using government services to video conferencing with relatives overseas. Grameenphone also trained entrepreneurs so that they could demonstrate to people how to set up an e-mail account and best make use of the Internet. Currently, none of the CICs are being operated by GP.
