Etisalat Nigeria said it is extending its ongoing per second promo to more of its subscribers across Nigeria as subscribers in states in the north east part of the country can now enjoy the discounted tariff.

The company explained that the location based promo was initially targeted at subscribers in the South-east and South-south parts of the country. It now stated that subscribers in Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe can now talk for 25kobo per second on the Etisalat network. The promo will run till July ending a statement said..

As a way of giving subscribers a choice of participation, Etisalat has created an option that allows subscribers decide whether they want to enjoy the discounted rate or would prefer to call at normal rates. To enjoy the discounted promo rate, subscribers simply need to dial to a code provided by the company.

Etisalat said a notification message confirming the success of the request would be sent to subscriber with a  minimal fee of N10 per day is charged for the service.

Explaining the details of the repackage, Ernest Akinlola, Etisalat’s  Director of Marketing Segments and Strategy said that the subscription to the discounted tariff plan is possible anywhere within Etisalat coverage areas though only subscribers in the promo region of South-South, South-East and North-East will enjoy the benefit.

According to him,   “If a subscriber, who is already benefiting from the discount rate moves out of the promo coverage area, he would no longer benefit from the discount as normal call rates apply outside the areas. However, as soon as the customer returns to the coverage area and subscription is still valid, the discount rate applies immediately.”
