Globacom Nigeria has unveiled a unique 3-in-1 Recharge Option to make the process of loading regular airtime credit, international calling packs and data bundles more convenient for its subscribers.
[blockquote right=”pull-right” cite=”Globacom”]“Under the new arrangement, customers who want to directly top up and add to their main balance should dial *123*PIN#, while those interested in directly buying a data bundle without cramming codes should dial *223*PIN#. Similarly, subscribers wishing to load International Direct Dialing (IDD) packs should dial *323*PIN#,”[/blockquote]
The 3-in-1 recharge option gives its customers the convenience of topping up their airtime credit for various services directly without going through the process of first topping up their prepaid accounts before‎ allocating the airtime for data bundles or international calls, according to the Second National Operator.
Launching the 3-in-1 recharge option at the Mike Adenuga Towers in Lagos, Bisi Koleoso, Head of Operations at Globacom said the company decided to simplify the airtime recharge process in order to provide customers with more convenient options in line with its avowed commitment to put subscribers first in everything.
“Under the new arrangement, customers who want to directly top up and add to their main balance should dial *123*PIN#, while those interested in directly buying a data bundle without cramming codes should dial *223*PIN#. Similarly, subscribers wishing to load International Direct Dialing (IDD) packs should dial *323*PIN#,” Koleoso added.
He said the introduction of the new 3-in-1 recharge option was particularly timely for subscribers who make international calls because Glo recently crashed the cost of making calls to key destinations such as United States, Canada, India, China and UK to as low as 10k per second‎.
Koleoso also disclosed that customers who use the *223*PIN# option to load a data bundle will get an extra 385MB of data when they load a N1000 credit instead of the 350 MB of free data they would have received if they had used the conventional recharge option to load the same N1000 recharge credit.
He noted that the launch of the 3-in-1-recharge option was in sync with Globacom’s relentless desire to make recharge very convenient and accessible to all and sundry on the different call platforms of the company’s network.
