By Ireayo Adedigba
Digital telecommunications service provider, Globacom, has slashed call tariffs by 55 per cent to international destinations in a bid to ensure that its customers keep in touch with their loved ones abroad at much more affordable rates.
The company explained in a press statement issued in Lagos, on Tuesday, July 7, 2020; that the reduced tariffs are devoid of subscription fee. The tariffs are applicable to major destinations such as the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Ireland, South Africa, Spain and Saudi Arabia. Within the African continent, the tariffs cover Cameroon, Niger, Benin Republic, Togo and Cote d’Ivoire.
“United Kingdom, which used to cost between N30 and N130 per minute now cost between N24 and N100 per minute, depending on the network the call is being terminated on. Similarly, calls to Spain and Italy have been reduced to N75 and N60 per minute from N90 and N130, respectively,” Globacom further added.
Calls to South Africa would now attract N85 per minute, instead of N150, while calls to Saudi Arabia would cost N55 per minute, instead of the former N60 per minute, the statement said, adding that the tariff for France and Ireland has been reduced to N50 and N40, respectively, from N65 and N60, while calls to Cote d’Ivoire, Benin Republic, Cameroon, Togo and Niger would now attract N150 instead of the old N200 per minute tariff.
“We understand the need for our subscribers to stay in touch with their friends and family overseas now more than ever before. With the ban on international travels imposed by most countries because of the Covid-19 pandemic, people are unable to travel to reunite with loved ones. They now rely heavily on efficient and affordable telecom services to communicate with them. We have, therefore, reduced tariffs to these major destinations to make our subscribers still feel at home even when they are thousands of miles apart from their loved ones.”
