Hi all, the new interconnect rate as announced by NCC may have started to materialise with glo mobile on the lead as they introduced a new package called Glo Talk More.
Official rate of this new product is 30kbps glo to glo amounting to N18pm and 60kbps glo to other network amounting to N36pm. I think this is the beginning of the Tarrif war we are likely going to experience come January 2010, as a result of the new interconnect rate, which is billed to take effect from 31st December, 2009.
To activate, just dial *100*1*2#. It is that simple
Presently, MTN is the most expensive network in Nigeria with as high as N31.60pm for MTN to MTN calls while their off net tarriff is N42pm.
Zain and Etisalat are in the same position with on net and off net calls at N30pm.
Let's be Nigerians indeed.
Merry Xmas to you all.

when will a minut call cost 5 naira?

yeah rite
dey hv not yet gotten ova d mess dey caused wit d glo daily free call, yet anoda tin again
well lets c hw dis 1 goes

I believe this is better.
There is nothing really new in this. Its just that most people won't use their call line to call other networks anymore.
18 naira/mins is still better

I meant "glo line" not "call line"

The new glo talk more can be likened to giving something with one hand, and withdrawing it with the other hand. Glo reduced the tariff, but cancelled the family & friends benefit of subscribers. Let the family/friends advantage be restored.

Well, maybe its a case of 'nothing goes for nothing'. But for those of us that were never on the F&F plan, its a welcome development all the same, I've just activated the service this afternoon

Yeah! I knew it! I knew no GSM Network Operator in Nigeria can EVER be trusted enough to think they make an offer for our good, it always for their own good; they extend the carrot to you and hide the stick behind their backs. All of them are guilty of it, they always give greek gift (give an egg to take fowls).

Zain Joli mess is still there. Anyway, they were better thieves 'cos they allowed 10 f & f in the Joli.

Glo messed my finance when they offered talk for free promo that has no ending period, I had 2,860 in my account, which should normally last me close to a month. Before I knew it, I heard 'sorry, your account balance is too low for this call, bla bla bla. I will never forget that experience.

Now, they want me to spend more to call my dad and wife? Well, thank God it's not automatic switch! I no dey move~

I heard 'sorry, your account balance is too low for this call, bla bla bla.

Interesting !

Glo sucks,

The only disadvantage I have found in this new profile from glo is the stopping glo nite calls usually charged at 5kobops. Now it is 30kps. This is not good at all.
Anyway, considering the new rate at N18pm, it is still reasonable comparing it to zain joli of N30pm z-z and N31.60pm for mtn to mtn.

I think the glo talk more is good but the ZAIN STEP-UP is a lot better. The Zain Step-up is a flat tariff plan. It has a cycle of 30days with a registration fee of #1,500:00.
The tariffs are listed below:
After loading the #1,500:00 and dialing *200*1# your rates will change to;
36.67Kps for the first 100mins which approximates to #2,200:00 and after which it becomes
25Kps for the next 200mins which approximates to #3,000:00 and after which it becomes
15Kps and this amounts to #9:00 per minute till the expiration of the period.
All you need do is spend #6,700:00 on 300mins and start paying #9 per minute till the end of your cycle and you start all over. I think this is better.

And now that they have introduced infinito tarrif for 24 States in Nigeria, at 25k/s across all network. Is the tarrif war not begining to emerge? Let's get our finger cross. One day, me and you will make free on-net call and a maximum of N10/m for off-net calls in Nigeria, as far as God lives. Mark my word! I am not talking about promotional offers but, real charges from the various network. Remember, competition is the rule of the game.
