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.”
