Leading telecommunications operator, Airtel Nigeria,
has introduced a dual-purpose single recharge card for
both voice and data services on the network that will
allow customers to recharge for both services with
only one recharge card.
The Single Recharge Option, another first in the
industry by Airtel, is available in both physical and
electronic recharge formats. The physical recharge
card comes in N100, N500 and N5000 denominations,
while the electronic pin (paper) option are available in
denominations of N100, N200, N500, N1000, N2000
and N5000.
For the Single Recharge, the old process of recharge
for the Airtel voice service still suffices as customers
are to dial *126* followed by the Recharge PIN and
then #. However, to subscribe for data service on the
same recharge card, customers will need to dial *143*
followed by Recharge PIN and #.
The Single Recharge Option also attracts applicable
bonus rates for data subscription depending on the
amount of airtime purchased.
When customers load between N100 and N500, they
will enjoy 60% data bonus while subscription of N1,
000 to N5, 000 attracts for 30 percent data bonus.
Speaking on latest innovation, the Chief Operating
Officer and Executive Director, Airtel Nigeria, Deepak
Srivastava, said the latest recharge option further
buttresses the company’s commitment to continually
offer Nigerians innovative products tailored to provide
them a whole world of value and convenience.
He pledged Airtel relentless drive to deliver fresh and
cutting-edge telecoms technology so to ensure that its
customers continue to enjoy first-rate products and
services, adding that Single Recharge is another great
reason to be on the Airtel network, especially coming
at a time when Mobile Number Portability (MNP)
allows customers to move over to Airtel for the
conveniences that it offers its customers.
“The Airtel Single Recharge is simply a double victory
for our customers because we have single-handedly,
eliminated the multiple processes of recharging or
subscribing for voice and data services separately, by
merging the two procedures to produce a single and
seamless recharge process for both services using a
single step. This is not only unique but revolutionary,
and can only come from a network that has got
Nigerians proudly covered”, he said.
The Airtel Single Recharge, which is for both prepaid
and postpaid customers, also provides additional
advantage for data customers as it totally eliminates
the process of subscribing for data using USSD or SMS
codes.
