1. What is new about Bonus on Incoming Calls?
Bonus on Incoming Calls (BOIC) has been introduced to Easy starter
subscribers. Subscribers get 1 free minute to make calls to all networks
for every 3 minutes call received from any network apart from Etisalat.
BOIC already exists on Easy Cliq, here, users accumulate bonus on every
call received and the bonus minutes can be used to call members of their
cliq. The major difference between Bonus on Incoming Calls on the new
recharged easy starter and easy cliq is that while easy cliq members can
only use their free minutes to call their cliq, easy starter subscribers
can use their bonus minutes to call any network in Nigeria. |

2. How does
Bonus on Incoming Calls work?
For every 3 minutes of calls you receive from other networks within a
month, Etisalat offers you 1 free minute. However, calls received from
other Etisalat lines or from international destinations do not qualify
for this bonus on incoming calls bonanza on easy starter. |

3. Does it
mean that each call I receive must be up to 3 minutes before I can
qualify for the bonus?
No. The 3 incoming minutes can be accumulated over a period of time
within a month. For example, if you receive 1 minute of call on day 1;
45 seconds of call on day 2 and 1 minute 15 seconds of call on day 3,
you get 1 free minute on day 3 provided day 1, day 2 and day 3 are
within the same calendar month. However, if day 1 and 2 are within the
month of July but day 3 occurred in August, no bonus will be granted on
the 1 minute 45 seconds accumulated in day 1 and day 2; you must receive
a total of another 1 minute 45 seconds of calls in August to make up 3
full minutes within the month before you will receive the 1 free minute
bonus on incoming calls. |
