Subscribers to Glo will be able to make calls and browse the internet free of charge as the national telecommunications operator marks its 18th Anniversary on August 29.

The company announced in a thank-you message to its over 50 million subscribers that prepaid customers will receive a gift of N200 airtime consisting of 6 minutes of talk time, which they can use for calls to other Glo customers and 200MB data for browsing.

The offer will be given to all customers on the network who have recharged from N200 and above in the last 30days, Globacom explained. They will receive the offer through an SMS notification and will also be notified of its expiry through the same channel after a 24 hour validity period.

It said the free airtime and data to subscribers is in appreciation of their patronage and support in building a proudly Nigerian company with a world class outlook.

“Since we rolled out services in 2003, we have pursued a bold vision to build Africa’s biggest and best telecommunications network. It has been our delight to achieve this vision and consistently deliver innovative and quality telecoms solutions to enable our subscribers to achieve their aspirations,” Globacom stated.

“As we mark the 18th year of operation, we wish to appreciate the support of all our customers and stakeholders, including the government and regulators, for their continued faith in our business to significantly contribute to the sustainable development of the country”, it added.

Globacom started operations on a revolutionary note on August 29, 2003, when it launched Nigeria’s first Per Second Billing system. This earned it praises from the International Telecommunication Union, an agency of the United Nations, for playing a critical role in revolutionizing Nigeria’s telecommunications industry.

It also launched the first 3G Plus technology, making it the second time the company pioneered the latest transmission network in Nigeria, having introduced the 2.5G technology at its launch in 2003 while other operators were running on the 2G platform.

More recently, it was the first operator to launch a nationwide 4G-LTE coverage in Nigeria, and has successfully done a test-run of its pilot 5G technology in readiness for the ‘Big Data’ and IoT deployment.
