... Customers to call all networks, international destinations
at 11k/sec
In
keeping with its commitment to continually empower its subscribers with
affordable and innovative telecommunications products and services,
Globacom has launched a new product, Glo Borrow Me Data and reloaded
three other existing products.
Globacom announced this at a press conference in Lagos on Tuesday and said
all the four products offer benefits unmatched in the telecom industry. The three products which have been repackaged following
their success and appeal in the market are
Double Free
Tomorrow, 11k/s for All, and
IDD Packs.
The new product,
Glo Borrow Me Data, allows subscribers to borrow Data credit of up
to 2GB whenever their data bundles are exhausted and they have no
airtime balance to recharge their data plan or in cases of unsuccessful
subscription bundle activation due to low balance.
Globacom’s Head, Usage and Retention, Mr. Sola Arowogbadamu, said eligibility criterion for
the offer includes how long a customer has been on the network and the average monthly data usage.
Customers
can subscribe to Borrow Me Data by dialling *321# and following the
menu options.
The service will then push real time Data credit to all eligible
subscribers in line with the stated eligibility criterion. The customer
will repay the Data credit whenever airtime recharge is made.
The next offer, Double
Free
Tomorrow, gives back to the subscriber 200% of whatever is spent on calls, SMS or data
today to use for free the next day. In the re-loaded offer, Globacom
calculates all the value of airtime a subscriber used in a day for
internet services, phone calls and SMS, and credits the subscriber’s
phone with double this value at the start of the
next day. The offer will now be available as default for all new
customers activating a Glo line.
Effectively, this means that subscribers will now receive back, the following day, double the airtime used in
a day for calls, internet browsing and SMS.
Mr.
Arowogbadamu said the bonus can be used for practically anything
including browsing or
calls and SMS to Glo and non-Glo lines. The bonus can also be used for
International calls to popular countries such as US, UK (fixed), Canada,
China and India.
The offer is open to all existing and new prepaid customers on the Glo network
and other subscribers who crave good value for money.
“With Glo Double Free
Tomorrow, customers get back double benefits free the next day. In other words, when they spend more
today, they get much more
tomorrow. For instance, if a subscriber on the Glo network uses N500 credit in a day on calls, SMS and data, Glo will give back N1,000
credit to the subscriber the very next day to call all networks, SMS and browse free,”
he
stated. To enjoy the service, subscribers are to dial *600#.
He also said that the third offer,
11k/s for All, is the best prepaid plan in the Nigerian telecoms market. It described it as a simple flat tariff plan which
allows customers enjoy heavily reduced call rate on local and international calls.
Under
the plan, calls are charged at 11k/s to all local networks and for
international
calls to 30 top destinations. The destinations include United Kingdom,
United States, Canada, South Africa, India, South Korea, Spain, Sweden,
China, Hong Kong, Japan, Israel and Australia. Others are Bangladesh,
Brunei, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, French Guiana,
Guam, Luxembourg, Malta, Mongolia, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Puerto
Rico, Reunion Island, Romania and Singapore.
The company said that new and existing customers can enjoy the unbelievable
call rate which comes at a daily access fee of N5 by dialling *211# to migrate to the plan.
More benefits await customers who port from other networks into its network
as they will enjoy a welcome bonus of N500 Glo-to-Glo
talk time and N500MB data upon first single denomination recharge of
N500 or higher.
They will also get 500MB complimentary data for the next six months
after joining Glo, provided they use a minimum of N1,500 monthly.
The company also announced the introduction
of New IDD Packs which is the best deal in the country and covers calls made from Nigeria to
the same 30 major international destinations for as low as N6.60
per minute. The bundles are designed to match the recharge
denominations and include IDD 100, IDD 200, IDD 500 and IDD 1,000. The
IDD 100 gives the subscriber 12 minutes of call valid
for 3 days, while IDD 200 gives 24 call minutes for 7 days.
The IDD 500 bundle gives 60 minutes of call for 14 days, while the fourth bundle, IDD 1000,
will avail the user 150 call minutes valid for 30 days.
According to Globacom, the 30 destinations covered by the new IDD packs include
United States, United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa, India, China and Japan.
