Digital solutions provider Globacom has said that it is offering an unprecedented deal to Nigerians travelling to Saudi Arabia for the Hajj or for a holiday.
According to a company statement, the offer will enable them to make calls and enjoy data at the most affordable tariffs while in that country.
Globacom said, “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 statement also added that the customer will incur fewer charges while using its roaming services at pay-as-you-go rates in Saudi Arabia.
According to the network, the various packages have been categorised to cater to customers’ different needs. For instance, a N2,500 recharge gives the subscriber 5 minutes of voice plus 100MB of data, valid for one day. For N5,000, a customer gets 10 minutes of voice calls and 250MB of data.
One GB of data is available for N10,000 and is valid for 10 days, while for N25,000, the customer gets 2.5 GB of Data with a validity period of 30 days. The biggest of them all is the N50,000 pack, which gives the customer as much as 6GB of roaming data and has a validity period of 60 days.
With these bundles, customers can capture memorable moments in Saudi Arabia and share them with family, friends, and loved ones either back home in Nigeria or anywhere else in the world.
Globacom said customers are required to dial *312# and select option 8 for Roaming, and thereafter follow the prompt to purchase a bundle of choice. In addition, customers can buy a bundle in Nigeria, which will automatically activate once they arrive in Saudi Arabia.
Customers who do not want to be pinned to a bundle can opt to use the service on a “pay-as-you-go” basis. This will still give them the best in-market value at N30 per MB for data browsing, N350 per minute for calls back to Nigeria and N270 for local calls within Saudi Arabia and also send local SMS at N50.
