The Corporate Service Executive of MTN Ghana, Miss Mawuena Dumor has announced that the change of brand name will happen because Mobile Telecommunications Network (MTN) has acquired Investcom Limited which owned Scancom (GH) Ltd. the operators of areeba in Ghana.

In Ghana, while the areeba brand will change to MTN Ghana, Scancom Ghana will still remain the registered owner of the brand, except that Scancom is now owned by the MTN group.

Areeba was previously known as Spacefon in Ghana.

The MTN Group operates in Botswana, Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Republic of Congo (Congo Brazzaville), Rwanda, South Africa, Swaziland, Uganda, Zambia, Afghanistan, Benin, Cyprus, Ghana, Guinea Bissau, Guinea Republic, Liberia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
