The tariff slash, which is for calls to fixed lines in the United Kingdom and all lines in the United States, Canada, India and China, is being offered in a new promotion which started earlier this month.

A statement from the Globacom’s marketing department, said calls made to the listed destinations during off-peak period will cost 25 kobo per second or N15 per minute instead of 65k per second or N39 a minute earlier charged for such calls. This translates to a 62 per cent reduction in the call tariff.

For peak periods, the tariff has been cut by 15 per cent. Calls to the destinations will cost 55 kobo per second or N33 per minute instead of 65 kobo per second or N39 per minute previously charged.

The statement said that peak period is from 7.00 a.m. to 9.59 p.m., while off-peak period is from 10.00 p.m. to 6.59 a.m. Globacom said that the offer, which is the most competitive in the industry, is open to new and existing customers on both the prepaid and postpaid platforms. Thus, all classic, easy talk and business centre customers as well as all postpaid subscribers on the network can enjoy the new tariffs.

The network stated that the reduction in tariff underlines Globacom’s resolve to continue to offer its subscribers affordable telecommunications services.

Globacom began international gateway services five years ago and has become a major player in the global telecommunication environment.
