CITIZENS COMPASS– Globacom is offering Nigerians who are going to Saudi Arabia for the Hajj season an unrivalled bargain that allows them to use data and make calls at the most affordable rate while on pilgrimage.
The highly competitive rates from Globacom and its roaming partners will also benefit customers travelling to Saudi Arabia beyond the Hajj, be it for business, or pleasure.
Globacom said in a statement that “by providing the best roaming solution where customers can make voice calls and browse using a single bundle, they are assured of getting the best value for money while on pilgrimage or on any other visit to Saudi Arabia”. The company added that it has made sure that its pay-as-you-go roaming tariffs in Saudi Arabia will also result in lower costs for its customers.
The numerous packages have been created to meet the needs of the clients. For example, the user receives 100MB of data and 5 minutes of voice time for a N2,500 bundle, with a one-day validity period. A client can obtain 250MB of data and 10 minutes of voice calls for N5,000.
For a N10,000 bundle, a consumer can get 1 GB of data that is good for 10 days, and for N25,000, they can purchase 2.5 GB of data that is valid for 30 days. The largest of all is the N50,000 pack, which has a 60-day validity period and provides the user with up to 6GB of roaming data.
These packages guarantee that the customers will be able to record special moments in Saudi Arabia and share them with loved ones back home in Nigeria or anywhere else in the world.
Customers only need to dial *312#, choose option 8 for roaming, and then follow the instructions to buy the bundle of their choice in order to take advantage of any of these packages. The huge benefit in it is that customers can buy a package in Nigeria, and it will automatically activate whenever they arrive in Saudi Arabia.
Customers can choose to utilize the service on a “pay-as-you-go” basis if they do not want to be bound by a bundle. At N30 per MB for data surfing, N350 per minute for calls back to Nigeria, and N270 for local calls within Saudi Arabia, they will still be able to get the best deal available. They can also send local SMS for N50.
