Glo Explains Why They Slashed Their Blackberry Plan To ₦899.for 3GB by donclark(m): 10:03am On Nov 10, 2013
Telecommunications operator, Globacom, has said the rationale behind the slashing of its BlackBerry tariff by half is to encourage Nigerians to use data more frequently.
In a statement, the firm said the unprecedented move was aimed at liberalising access to the modern tool for social and business networking.

In addition to the tariff drop, it said there was a considerable increase in the data allowance for both BlackBerry 10 plans and the generic BlackBerry plans.




The statement signed by Globacom’s Coordinator, Marketing, Mr. Adeniyi Olukoya, explained that the Absolute Month platform, which hitherto was N2,800 with 3GB data, now goes for N1,000 with 3GB data.
The Absolute Week plan goes for N500 with 700MB and the co-month and co-week plans go for N899 and N400 with data allowance of 3GB and 700MB respectively.

According to the company, the new BlackBerry subscription tariffs are for both old and new customers.
The statement said, “Globacom is the first network to introduce BlackBerry service in Nigeria and we have continued to maintain the lead by offering subscribers the best and most pocket-friendly BlackBerry rates. Glo always has exciting offers for both existing and potential customers.
“We are offering these new tariffs to encourage Nigerians to use data more frequently. This will make life more abundant for our subscribers.”

Well, they have a new plan called My Phone. It goes for N2,000 with a data cap of 800MB, valid for 30 days. To buy the plan, dial *127*55# or text 55 to 127. Thank you.

no need to explain we know already.
people are swimming to MTN for calls and AIRTEL for data while you keep your shitty network to yourself.

a stupid network that ask you to recharge on 500 naira balance.
doesn't function on rainy days, send sms like mad people.

Is this not Airtel's Blackberry plan you are jumping over here? Why didn't you talk about their normal internet plan that cost N1,000 for a 260MB data volume.

That is where the problem lies. You can't even differentiate a Blackberry subscription plan from a HSI subscription plan.
For your information, if I choose to go with what you saying, I will still go with Glo because, Glo will give me 9GB data volume for 3 months, for the same value of N3,000. I hope you know that!
