Etisalat Offers Special Tariff

As part of its commitment to providing products and services that enable its customers enjoy value for their money, Etisalat has announced the extension of Talkzone, its discount tariff offer that allows customers enjoy up to 98% discount, to 14 more states in the country, thus bringing the number of states enjoying the discount tariff to 30.

Talkzone offers flexible discounts on calls to any network in Nigeria at different times and in different locations. Subscribers can enjoy up to 98% on calls made on Etisalat lines enabling them make calls for as low as 1 kobo per second and up to 20% discount on calls made to other networks.

The tariff was first introduced in October 2010 in five states of the North east, and later extended to other regions in February and May 2012. The states are Abia, Adamawa, Borno, Ebonyi, Ekiti, Enugu, Gombe, Kano, Osun, Taraba, Yobe . Sokoto, Kebbi,  Zamfara,  Kogi, Bauchi and Katsina. Others are Jigawa, Niger, Kwara, Oyo, Ondo, Delta, Bayelsa, Plateau, Benue, Cross River, Akwa-Ibom, Anambra and Imo states.

Speaking on the development, Etisalat’s Chief Commercial Officer, Wael Ammar, said it was just one of the ways of delighting the brand’s customers with affordable tariffs. “This is about giving the Etisalat subscriber value for money. With calls as low as 1 kobo per second, which is the cheapest discount on any network, our subscribers can do more talking and in turn, achieve more in business or pleasure each day.

“We first introduced the tariff in the Northeast to gauge subscriber acceptance then gradually spread to other regions. We have now extended the service to 30 states to ensure that all our customers benefit and talk for as long as they want because with Etisalat you talk much more,” he said.

According to the leading telecommunications company, the discount tariff service is available to its Easystarter and EasyCliq subscribers in these selected states, and offers customers the opportunity to enjoy flexible discounts on calls made to all networks.

Explaining the mechanics of the offer, Director, Marketing Segments and Strategy, Wole Rawa, said that access to the service is easy and free. “Customers who wish to migrate to TalkZone just need to dial *244*8# from their easy starter or easy cliq lines’
