FLOW ‘GIG’s up with data combo plans
TO CELEBRATE the introduction of its new ‘GIG UP’ plans, FLOW says it will this month offer huge discounts on select LTE smartphones to new customers and those switching to the FLOW network.
“We can no longer think about mobile data in megabytes,” said Dwight Williams, senior director for product management at FLOW, in recognising the mobile Internet plan that offers customers a minimum of 1GB of data along with 250 on-net voice minutes and 250 text messages for $250 plus GCT for two days of service.
For customers wishing to access the service for longer periods, FLOW said it would be offering 2GB, 500 on-net minutes, and 500 text messages for seven days and 4.5GB, 1,000 on-net minutes, and 1,000 text messages for 14 days at $899 plus GCT, and $1,999 plus GCT ,respectively.
To activate the plans, FLOW customers can dial *129*6# .
“With the huge upsurge of content streaming and app-based video and audio content... as well as increased usage of social media applications like WhatsApp, Instagram, Snapchat, and YouTube, the average mobile user now demands even more robust data allowances to satisfy their demands. This is what the ‘GIG UP’ plan, along with our blazing fast 4G LTE, provides,” said Williams.
He added that the new FLOW mobile data plans would also provide a greater advantage for students doing research.
According to Williams, research conducted by FLOW has found that persons generally use data plans to tide them over until they are able to access a Wi-Fi connection.
“We are giving our customers exactly what they have been asking for, a huge amount of data at an affordable price that allows them to be always connected at their convenience. There is no other combo plan in the market that offers the data value found in our ‘GIG UP’ plan,” he said.
