Against the backdrop of the country’s lingering recession Globacom has pledged commitment to its teeming subscribers by introducing a new product, ‘Glo Borrow Me Data’, and three other repackaged ones.
The plan, according to the company, would enable subscribers enjoy a seamless network delivery every other time.
Speaking yesterday during a media briefing in Lagos, Globacom’s Head, Usage and Retention, Mr. Sola Arowogbadamu, said all four products offer benefits unmatched in the telecom industry because of their unique value addition.
“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 case of unsuccessful subscription bundle activation due to low balance.”
Arowogbadamu further explained the eligibility criteria for the offer, which include how long a customer has been on the network and average monthly data usage.
The next offer, Double Free Tomorrow, gives back to the subscriber 200 per cent 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.
The third offer, he said, is 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, including 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.
