Total telecommunications solutions provider,
Globacom, has again demonstrated why it is
regarded as the leader in the data segment of the
market with the launch of a unique offer which
rewards subscribers with free access to the
internet.
Called Free Data Day, the new offer gives Glo
customers free data for a whole day when they
meet the voice and/or data usage threshold
within seven days which will qualify them to
enjoy the Free Data Day. The offer is open to all
prepaid subscribers.
Globacom’s Zonal Business Coordinator, Lagos,
said at a press conference held at the company's
corporate head office, Mike Adenuga Towers,
Lagos on Tuesday that the offering would enable
subscribers on the Glo network to do so much
more on the internet by browsing free of charge
for a whole day. “We appreciate the essence of
the internet in today’s world. We are through this
product empowering our customers in an
unprecedented way in their business, social and
educational pursuits”, he stated.
To enjoy the Free Data Day, subscribers are
required to spend N250 or more on calls within 7
days to a free data dayor spend at least N150 on
calls and use a minimum of 100MB of data within
7 days to the free data day from any or a
combination of methods such as Pay as you use,
purchase of data plan and usage from existing
data plan.
Omoboya further explained that customers would
be notified when they have qualified for the Free
Data Day and that they do not need to dial any
code to opt in or subscribe to any platform before
enjoying the benefits. "When a customer qualifies
for the offering, he would be able to enjoy free
data usage throughout that day, and the fair
usage policy will be applicable", he said.
The company also announced the launch of Glo
Welcome Back, an offer which gives customers
who have not used the Glo network in the last 30
days with free N6000 credit when they recharge
their lines. The credit can be used to browse,
send SMS and make calls to Glo customers.
Subscribers are required to make a recharge of
between N100 and N1,000 to access the free
N6,000 airtime.
Details of the offer show that subscribers can
access the free airtime based on the amount of
recharge made subject to a maximum of N6,000.
“For example, a recharge of N100 gives the
subscriber N600 bonus airtime which is deducted
from the FREE N6,000. The bonus N600 is made
up of N500 for Voice and N100 for data with
50MB data volume. If the same subscriber makes
a second recharge of N500, he gets a bonus
credit of N3,000 made up of N2,500 Voice credit
and N500 data bonus with 250MB data volume.
This is deducted from the balance of N5400 left of
the N6,000 FREE Airtime. The subscriber will now
have N2,400 left in the FREE Airtime account
which can be accessed when the next recharge is
made,” he said.
On the other hand, a subscriber whose first
recharge is N1,000 gets the full FREE Airtime of
N6000 instantly, and this comprises N5,000 voice
bonus and N1,000 data bonus with data volume
of 500MB. Recharges above N1,000 gives the
same N6,000 Free credit. All the bonus credits
have a 30-day validity period.
Omoboya explained, “The subscriber will receive
an SMS notification when the bonus airtime is
credited. To confirm the balance, the subscriber
can dial #106#”.. Calls from this bonus are
charged at 65k/second, SMS at N4, while data is
charged at Flexi rate of N1/Mb when Welcome
Back bonus data bundle has been exhausted.
Globacom assured subscribers that it had
enhanced the quality of its network to
accommodate the anticipated traffic that these
exciting products will add.
Omoboya further disclosed that in line with its
promise to change the face of telecoms services
in Nigeria, the Globacom network had been
reinvigorated to provide stronger data and voice
services to its subscribers.
“We are more committed than ever to provide
subscribers with the best value-for-money by
making our products and services accessible to
our existing and new subscribers”, he said.
