He said that the initiative among other things seeks to  fulfil customer’s  desire to own state-of-the-art phones at affordable prices.
To avoid the  possibility of  customers bringing in stolen phones for trade-in, Ezeigbo said: “However, as a way of guarding against increasing theft of mobile devices, a new website www.stolenphone.org has been launched to provide platform for consumers to register every lost device.
“This process is very simple: just register the model of the device, IMEI number and your phone number.  This website makes it easy for our Staff to check if the device is stolen or not before proceeding with the process of Trade-in which means  that if you buy a phone from Slot , you are sure of the source”.
“We will   continue to provide the shopping and wonderful after sales service experience that we are known for which is the underlying principle and philosophy of Slot  is to add value to people’s lives by making the all-important use of mobile phones a pleasurable experience”.
