Online, at the weekend, saying that CDMA operator is determined to enhance the
value and customer experience of communication on its network, hence, it

other network at 50k/sec for the first minute of the day and thereafter 30k/sec
with the sole aim of giving customers who talk more to enjoy tariffs as low as
15k/sec.
Mr. Ushigiale described this new innovative package as
“another platform Visafone is applying to enrich customers’ experiences, make
communication affordable and accessible to majority of customers.”
He also said that Visafone does not only offer the lowest
tariffs but it also gives clear voice and data quality with a wider reach.
Further, he quoted the managing director, Visafone, Mr.
Sailesh Iyer as saying that apart from the low tariff customers would enjoy on
Visa Entrée Xpress package, customers would enjoy Short Messaging Service (SMS)
rate at N5/SMS for Visafone to Visafone, N10/SMS to any other network in
Nigeria and N15 to international networks.
He explained that subscribers would receive 60 free on-net
SMS valid for 60 days with 1 free on-net minute every time they make an off-net
call with a duration of 60 seconds or more.
Iyer said, the company is reputed for its customer friendly
and rewarding programmes, apart from giving them value for money through
attractive tariffs and excellent voice and data quality.
He pointed out that Visafone has displayed considerable
leadership in the mobile sub-sector of the Nigerian telecoms landscape, therefore,
the operator is constantly seeking to revolutionize the customer service
delivery thereby lowering churn and continuing the exponential growth
trajectory in customer experience.

certified by the CDG as the first Open Market Handsets (OMH) compliant network
in Africa.
In its quest for addressing the ever growing needs and
demands of its customer, he said, Visafone has introduced one more customer
friendly data plan of 5GB, this is to
upgrade the current data users whose monthly usage exceeds 3GB but is less than
10GB,enabling the customer to optimize their data usage as per his usage
pattern.
Mr. Iyer expressed confidence that the new data plan would
continue to give subscribers consistently high speed experience to the internet
at a competitive rate of N7, 499 and with a validity period of 30 days.
“This new package will no doubt be useful to those who have
been yearning for a data plan that exceeds the current 3GB threshold and need
around 5GB,” he said.
Visafone recently slashed the prices of its hardware as well
as data bundles besides revamping its existing data plans, thus providing a
whole new world of internet access and experience for both existing and new
subscribers with high speed broadband internet services via CDMA 1x and 3G EVDO
on the Visafone-pioneered EVDO Rev A network.
Iyer pointed out that “given the superb experience in terms
of access, surfing and fast download speeds that Visafone data subscribers
enjoy, this creates irresistible value for data devotees across the spectrum of
corporate users, travelling businessmen, students, dedicated downloaders or
casual browsers and email enthusiasts.”
