Barely a week after the commencement of the special promotional package tagged ‘9javaganza Valentine Promo’, Nigerians have began to commend the innovative GSM service provider for giving their existing and prospective subscribers the opportunity to express themselves in this season of love.

Etisalat’s ‘9javaganza Valentine Promo’ kicked off on Monday, 2nd February and will end on the 31st of March 2009. The two month promo is open to both new and existing customers of the dynamic telecomm company.

In feedback monitored in Lagos and Abuja today, subscribers expressed their excitement on the free airtime being enjoyed on Etisalat’s network since the commencement of the promotion. According to Emeka Nwosu, a student of the Yaba College of Technology, “It is quite exciting enjoying free airtime on Etisalat network; you know Nigerians are not used to enjoying such opportunity before now. We have always paid for every call, even drop calls. On the valentine, I plan to call my mummy who is my first Val, before my other babes”.

According to Musa Muhammed, a resident of Abuja, “I did not know that Etisalat is doing promo, I just bought the line in traffic because I lost my phone, but to my surprise as soon as I activated the line while I was contemplating buying recharge card, I discovered that the line is already loaded with N200 free airtime. This is wonderful; Etisalat should keep up the good work”. Musa advised.

With the ‘9javaganza Valentine Promo’ new subscribers to the Etisalat network will enjoy instant N200 free airtime upon activation of their lines and 20% bonus on all recharge made with N500 and above. Existing customers will also enjoy 20% bonus on all recharge made with N500 and above during the period. Both new and old subscribers will enjoy the 20% discount on all calls made from within their registered homezone.

It is our pleasure to provide a platform that will give our customers the joy of unlimited access to families, friends and colleagues in an affordable and simple way. This promotion is designed such that the bonus credit can be used to make calls or send text messages to any network of choice and at anytime too”.
