Telecommunications operator, Globacom, has said the
rationale behind the slashing of its BlackBerry tariff by
half is to encourage Nigerians to use data more
frequently.
In a statement, the firm said the unprecedented move
was aimed at liberalising access to the modern tool for
social and business networking.
In addition to the tariff drop, it said there was a
considerable increase in the data allowance for both
BlackBerry 10 plans and the generic BlackBerry plans.
The statement signed by Globacom’s Coordinator,
Marketing, Mr. Adeniyi Olukoya, explained that the
Absolute Month platform, which hitherto was N2,800
with 3GB data, now goes for N1,000 with 3GB data.
The Absolute Week plan goes for N500 with 700MB
and the co-month and co-week plans go for N899 and
N400 with data allowance of 3GB and 700MB
respectively.
According to the company, the new BlackBerry
subscription tariffs are for both old and new customers.
The statement said, “Globacom is the first network to
introduce BlackBerry service in Nigeria and we have
continued to maintain the lead by offering subscribers
the best and most pocket-friendly BlackBerry rates.
Glo always has exciting offers for both existing and
potential customers.
“We are offering these new tariffs to encourage
Nigerians to use data more frequently. This will make
life more abundant for our subscribers.”
