Glo Users To Enjoy #GloFreeDataDay, Receive N6,000 With Welcome Back

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.
