Nokia, Telecare open service centre in Lagos

A collaboration between the mobile phone manufacturer, Nokia and a subsidiary of E-Tel Group, Telecare Wireless, have opened the mobile company’s customer service center in the highbrow area of Lagos.

Speaking at the ceremony, Managing Director, Telecare Wireless, Mr. Peter Rebak, said the center would enable Nokia to draw nearer to its customers.

The center located at the Amodu Ojikutu area of Victoria Island, he said would offer full Nokia customer care services, stressing that nowadays, consumers are in search of beyond mere purchasing of mobile tool

“Today’s consumers are looking not only to buy products but expect that these products can be serviced, enhanced and upgraded,” he said.

Also speaking, Senior Customer Care Manager at Nokia for North and West Africa, Mr. Sherif Barakat said the center is supported in a full scale by Nokia’s empowered technical staff drawn from Middle East and Africa’s office.

He equally expressed confidence over the center, saying that as one of the premier centers that will effectively serve the Nigerian market, it has been equipped with the latest repair tools to ensure that customers demands are met at all times.

“This has been opened to keep to Nokia’s tradition of serving its customers whenever and wherever possible,” he said, emphasizing that all Nokia mobile phones which come with one year warranty would be repaired with high quality products, including replacement.

“Nokia gives 12-month manufacturers limited warranty on any Nokia product and is offered from the date of purchase of the original product by the first end user. This limited warranty is valid and enforceable in the country where the product has been purchased, if Nokia intended the product for a resale and Nokia warranty is available in that country,” he explained.

Nokia Care Manager for Nigeria, Ghana and Liberia, Mr. Raymond Olatokun, disclosed to newsmen that the telco has advanced plans to set up collection centers nationwide to ease consumers search for customers care centers.

“Plans are afoot to address the geographical challenges in Nigeria, as Nokia is currently finalizing plans to establish more service points in some of the major cities of Nigeria as well as the remote areas to quickly solve customer service issues,” he added.
