[color=#000099]Glo Mobile auctions 0807 vanity numbers
In what is regarded as a new dimension in the allocation of special telephone numbers in Nigerias telecommunication industry, Glo Mobile is giving its subscribers the opportunity to acquire the memorable numbers in an auction sale.

The twenty special numbers, otherwise called vanity numbers, will be offered for bid to both new and existing subscribers from now until the end of June 5, 2006.

The numbers which are part of the new 0807 range launched by Glo Mobile two weeks ago include 0807 7700777, 0807 7000007, 08077654321, 0807 7123456, 0807 7000000, 0807 7999999, 0807 7077077, 0807 7007007, 0807 7070707 and 0807 7999997.

The rest of the vanity numbers are 0807 7222222, 0807 7333333, 0807 7444444, 0807 7555555, 0807 7666666, 0807 7888888, 0807 7555557, 0807 7111111, 0807 7575757 and 0807 7555777.

Explaining the auction process, Globacoms Head of Consumer Marketing, Chris Ehimen, said Glo Mobile customers would bid for the lines by sending a text message (SMS) stating the preferred line and amount to be paid to a short code 32000 while bidders from other networks should send the SMS to 0807 7500000.

A subscriber who is interested in 0807 7222222 and who wants to bid N20,000, for instance, will simply send 0807 7222222, N20,000 to either 32000 or 0807 7500000depending on which network he is sending the message from. The highest bidder for each vanity number wins it. Subscribers will receive a message intimating them of the highest bid for each number, Ehimen stated.

He added that each of the twenty special numbers comes with an attractive package. Each SIM comes with N1,000 monthly airtime for one year, giving a total of N12,000 free airtime for Glo to Glo calls, he said. The SIMs can be activated either as a prepaid or postpaid package, depending on the preference of the subscriber.

Winners of the auction sale will also qualify automatically for the next draw in the Glo Jumbo promotion in which prizes worth N500 million are on offer. The prizes include 180 cars, 180 power-generating sets and cash prize of N200,000 to be shared by eight subscribers daily in the 180-day period of the promotion. 10,000 subscribers will each win N750 Glo to Glo airtime per month for one year while 1 million others will win N100 airtime each.

Glo Mobile recently launched the 0807 number range following the exhaustion of the 0805 series introduced at launch in August 2003. The new platform, the company said, gives millions of subscribers wishing to join the Glo network the opportunity to be accommodated. There are currently over 7 million subscribers on the Glo Mobile network.
