Airtel Nigeria and Nokia have called on its customers
to come up with their old Nokia phones in exchange for Nokia’s posh smart
phone, Lumia 520.
The Chief Executive Officer, Airtel Nigeria, Mr Segun Ogunsanya made the call during his
presentation at the The Nigerian Telecom Development Lecture (NITDEL) 2013, while speaking
on the topic ”The Nigerian Telecom Market: Championing the cause through
Broadband” and said that the economy development of a nation can be accelerated
by improvement in the country Information Communication Technology(ICT) infrastructures.
He said that 40 million people were won to the
internet, but only six per cent of population have access to Broadband, and
called on the regulator, NCC to provide
more spectrum for mobile Broadband in the country.
Ogunsanya pointed out that Airtel 1SIM is the only
mobile network that gives access wherever one is in the country as the
customers are made to pay the same tariff to all the networks.
Equally, he said, customers only need to visit
any Airtel shops with their old but functional device of any given brand and
network, then pay an exchange fee of N23,990, to own the Lumia 520 to enjoy 6 months free airtime for on-net calls and data worth N6,000.
He further disclosed to DigitalSENSE
Business News
that the company is leading the way on a
much requested upgrade opportunity which will offer consumers the best starter
kit with the device discount and a fully loaded phone with free airtime and
data for easy internet access.
... Making SENSE of digital revolution!
