Subscribers on the Etisalat network are sure of extensive talk time this valentine season with the ongoing Etisalat ‘9javaganza valentine promotion’. The promotion includes an offer of N200 free airtime upon activation of new lines and 20% bonus on all recharges made with N500 and above for both new and existing customers. Customers are also due to enjoy 20% discount on all calls made from their selected homezone.

Explaining details of the promo, Chief Marketing Officer of Etisalat Nigeria, Wael Ammar, said: “When our customers and potential customers recharge with N500, their talk time will be credited with N600. N1000 recharge card will get them N1, 200 while N2, 000 and N5, 000 recharge cards will get them N2, 400 and N6, 000 respectively. For us, there is value in sharing our most precious commodity, time, with loved ones especially during this season of love and way beyond”.

Ammar further stated that every new subscriber on the network technically gets the SIM for free. “A newly activated Etisalat SIM bought for N200 comes with N200 free airtime, which is equivalent to the cost of purchasing the SIM. The subscriber walks away with his new SIM and N200 airtime on his phone”.

Not only do subscribers have opportunities to acquire new lines for free and get free airtime for recharging with a minimum of N500 in the 9javaganza promo, they also get 20% discount on all calls made from the area they select as their homezone.

“Both new and existing subscribers will still be able to make discounted calls in any location they chose as their homezone. This is therefore really a 3-in-1 value offer for our subscribers at this time. In addition to this, the free airtime can be used to make calls or send text messages to any network of their choice”, Ammar said.

Breaking down the accruable benefits to the subscriber further, Ammar explained that “a 1 minute call from a subscriber’s homezone would normally cost only N24. If he loads N500 recharge card, his balance at the end of the call would be N576. And if he bought a new SIM, recharged with a N500 card and made the call from his homezone, he would have a balance of N776 after making a 1 minute call. At the moment, there is no better value per minute of call on the market”.

Etisalat customers currently enjoy unique features such as Receiver Pays, Missed Calls Notification and Recharge Others.
