Glo Mobile new plan cuts tariff as subscriber make more calls

By Bolanle Abbas

Lagos June 25, 2012 Glo Mobile has launched its Glo Gista, an innovative service loyalty scheme that rewards its subscriber with decreasing tariffs as they make more calls.

Glo Mobile, the mobile business unit of Nigeria’s Second National Operator (SNO), Globacom says that the introduction of Glo Gista is in line with its objectives of being at the forefront of bringing innovative service to the telecoms market.

Today’s media launch of Glo Gista held at Mike Adenuga Towers, the SNO’s headquarter in Lagos had in attendance two Glo Brand Ambassadors, Chioma Aguta and Ego Ogbaru, alongside Director of Marketing, Niyi Olukoya; Director of Sales, Mike Sidwell and Head Strategy and Innovation, Richard Morse, among others.

Director of Marketing for Glo, Niyi Olukoya, explains that the Glo Gista is a platform that enables subscribers spends less on more calls wherever and whenever adding that “it is a platform that allows subscribers call family and friends without putting a hole in their pocket.”

According to him, the new tariff plan is a bundle that allows subscribers make calls at the rate of 15 kobo per second for Glo-to-Glo calls and 30 kobo per second for Glo to other networks. The bundle works round the clock with no off limit time.

Some other added value of the new bundle includes the opportunity for both new and existing subscribers to get a bonus of 200 per cent on every recharge and also to make international calls at the rate of 7.8 naira per minute to US, UK, Canada, India and China.

Under the plan, Glo Gista will be pre-registered on all new Glo SIM cards while existing subscribers can migrate by dialing 10015*1# on their phones.

Director of Sales, Mike Sidwell promises more amazing packages from Globacom.

I advice glo to go back to infineto, even it is 18 naira per minute to every network we wouldn’t mind. I was attracted to infineto but now, without infineto, i am running away from glo.

Glo ntwork is fine but since they want to use customer loyalty to exploit, i simply stop recharging on Glo. Etisalat will soon replace them. Glo have a rethink, we like glo.

I use to recomend glo network to other people before but now I’ve dislike dem because they are not faithful to their customers interm of promo, high tariff, MB for internet browsing n they av bad network n also poor customer care. I av called customer care several time all they av to say is NCC av suspended all promo but other network are still giving free MB n airtime when u recharge wit certain amount. I do imagine if gloacom make research as MTN do. Instead of waste money on unprofitable things while not spend such money on reseach in order to know your SWOT analysis, inshort am disappointed in using GLO network

I wish 2 tanks my glo network team 4 their good coverage of their network.
But i also blame them 4 failing their customers,i have been using glonetwork 4 long time now since 2003 and up till date i never benefit any thing from them,when i hard that they re doing promo i was happy nd i say let me try my luck and 4 God seck as it is their first time they fall my hand by saying NCC stop all the promo.If i may ask why they do not contact ncc b4 going ahead with the promo and is it that MTN are not working with NCC direct or how?, they gave up their promo 2 its customers.For we that invested much in the text and win promo what re they going to do?.I west all my time and money cracking my brain 4 the promo at last noting tangible comes from it.Am pls pleading to my good glo team to pls do something on it so that i wil not regret of using their network
