Glo slashes rates for calls to major countries  

Globacom has announced significant reductions to its International Direct Dialing (IDD) tariffs to several major countries that Nigerians usually call. For both new and current subscribers throughout Nigeria, this lowers the cost of calls to an affordable rate as low as N30.

Beginning from August 10, the new tariffs began to apply to calls to over 15 major overseas destinations.

Due to the change, calls to the United States will now cost ₦30 per minute instead of ₦35. India’s rate has dropped from ₦45 to ₦40, while the rate to the United Kingdom has also been cut from ₦400 to ₦350. Significant decreases were also noted in Saudi Arabia (₦300), Cameroon (₦700), 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.

Globacom noted that the revised rates are part of a broader strategy to provide more value for new and existing Glo customers and encourage them to make Glo their preferred network for their international calls due to the affordability and competitiveness of the reduced rates.

Globacom also hinted at the rollout of new IDD bundles that will provide even more attractive deals for frequent international callers.

Customers are encouraged to take advantage of the new rates to stay connected with their loved ones and business partners around the world.
