Glo moves to expand share of data, voice subscribers with

Berekete

Globacom, Nigeria’s third-largest telecommunication company, has unveiled a new pre-paid tariff plan targeted at data and voice subscribers in Nigeria.

According to Globacom, on Tuesday, existing subscribers who recharge a minimum of N100 would get a 700 percent bonus consisting of data and voice bundles.

For new subscribers who have fully registered their SIM, recharged their lines, and have made the first call, there is a welcome bonus of N600, out of which N400 will be used for calls to all networks while N200 will be dedicated to data. Also, new customers who purchase between N50 and N10,000 worth of data plan are entitled to 100 percent extra data volumes. However, they will only reap this benefit for the first four months of joining the network.

“At Globacom, we are continually seeking new ways to add value to the lives of our esteemed customers,” the company noted in a statement. “This is one of such ways, and we can assure our customers that we will not relent. Our pledge is that we will continue to meet and exceed their expectations.”

Earlier in the year, Globacom had launched products such as ‘My Own Don Better, Stay Home Data Plan’ in which it gave out 20 percent more data to all consumers to stay at home; Mega Data Plan which serviced the needs of customers with bigger data appetite; and Sponsored Data tailored towards the enterprise community for consumers to visit their websites without data. Bereket is expected to be the default tariff that new consumers will get.

The telco also announced the signing of new brand ambassadors including Michael Collins Ajereh, popularly known as ‘Don Jazzy’, music sensation, Teniola Apata, also known as Teni The Entertainer; Simisola Kosoko who is better known as ‘Simi’, Odion Ighalo, Africa’s highest scorer at the last Nations Cup and Manchester United attacker; and Anthony Olaseni Joshua, World Heavyweight Champion who currently holds four boxing titles.
