International Direct Dialing (IDD) costs have been significantly lowered by Globacom, with some call rates going as low as N30 per minute. This is for the benefits of existing and new customers on the network.
The new tariffs, which cover calls to over 15 well-known overseas locations, went into effect on August 10.
Calls to the United States now cost ₦30 per minute instead of ₦35 due to the review. Additionally, the rate to the UK has dropped from ₦400 to ₦350, while the rate to India has decreased from ₦45 to ₦40. Calls to Cameroon is now ₦700, while Saudi Arabia is now ₦300 and China ₦75.
Rates to neighbouring African countries have also been reviewed. Benin Republic now costs ₦650 per minute, Niger Republic ₦750, Ghana ₦500, and Togo ₦650. Calls to the United Arab Emirates have been reduced from ₦450 to ₦325. Germany is now ₦550, Côte d’Ivoire ₦700, Libya ₦700, while Malawi has dropped from ₦1,200 to ₦1,100.
Given the affordability and competitiveness of the lower prices, Globacom stated that the updated rates are a part of a larger plan to give both new and existing Glo customers more value and make them stick to Glo as their preferred network for their international calls.
Additionally, Globacom hinted about the introduction of new IDD bundles that will offer even more alluring discounts to regular international callers.
