Grandmasters of data and leading voice segment Telecoms Company, Glo has deepened offerings to subscribers by launching two major offers, Everyday Bonanza and Glo Jumbo SIM.

Under the Everyday Bonanza offer, Glo subscribers will win over 17,000 mouth-watering prizes worth hundreds of million naira ranging from Flat Screen LED Television sets, to 4G LTE smartphones, generators, refrigerators, microwave ovens, 4G LTE Mi-Fs and brand new cars which will be won Monday-to-Sunday while the offer subsists.

During the launch on Monday, the company explained that the second offer, the new Glo Jumbo SIM comes with an unbelievable N200,000 worth of free airtime. This marks the first time any operator will pre-load SIM cards with such a whooping amount of airtime value, which can be used for calls, SMS and data.

The two customer reward schemes were formally presented at a media launch held on Monday at the Mike Adenuga Towers (MAT), Victoria Island, Lagos. The event was attended by Glo brand ambassadors, representatives of the Nigerian Communications Commission and the Nigerian Lottery Regulation Commission (NLRC) and select members of the media.

Providing an insight on how it works, Ashok Israni, Globacom’s Regional Chief Marketing Officer, said 50 lucky Glo subscribers will win Television sets every Monday (750 TV sets in total), 150 subscribers will win 4G-LTE smartphones every Tuesday (2250 in total), 100 subscribers will win generating sets every Wednesday (1,400 in total), 100 subscribers will take home refrigerators every Thursday (1,400 total), 200 winners of Microwave ovens every Friday (2,800 total), while 650 subscribers will walk home with 4G-LTE MiFis on Saturdays (9,100 total).

Besides, to crown the week-long largesse to its subscribers, Globacom will be giving out a brand new Hyundai Accent to a lucky subscriber every Sunday, making a total of 14 car winners.

Israni averred that all a subscriber needs to do to qualify for these life-impacting prizes is to recharge his or her phone with at least N100 worth of credit. Each N100 credit purchased entitles a subscriber to an entry. In essence, a subscriber who recharges his or her phone with N1000 credit automatically gets 10 entries. Post-paid customers are not left out. Every N100 usage on their line qualifies as an entry to the daily draw. Furthermore, purchase of eTop-up, SIMs and data products from any Gloworld outlet will give the subscriber additional entries into the daily draws.

“So the more recharge a subscriber makes, the more entries he gets and consequently the greater the chance to win quality gifts everyday!” said Israni.

Explaining on the second offer, Israni said this is a Special JUMBO SIM which gives the Glo subscriber value that is not only unprecedented but also unimaginable in Nigeria’s telecoms industry. According to him, anybody who buys the new JUMBO SIM for N100 will automatically have an airtime value of N200,000 preloaded on the SIM. This airtime will however be unlocked as the subscriber recharges his or her phone until it is fully depleted.

Existing customers who want to enjoy this bounty can opt in by dialling *224#.

He said this is the first time telecom subscribers will be enjoying this kind of value from a telecom provider in Nigeria.

“With these two offers, I can proudly say that Nigerians should look no further than Glo as their preferred telecom service provider”, said Israni, adding, that whilst other operators are squeezing costs, Glo has elected to remain faithful to its esteemed customers and Nigerians as a whole by rewarding and empowering them.

He called on telecom subscribers to continue to support Globacom as the wholly owned Nigerian company remains irrevocably committed to meeting and exceeding their expectations.

The company also used the opportunity to announce the 3rd instalment of its proprietary Glo Free Data Day, which comes up on Tuesday, 31st October 2017. This offer is open to all subscribers who use up to 100MB plus N150 on voice calls or N250 on voice calls in the seven days preceding the Free Data Day. He explained the third Free Data Day followed overwhelming response to the offer in the two past editions.

Also speaking, the Chief Administrative Officer of the National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC), Lagos Zonal Office, Mr. Ozobialu Olisa, assured Nigerians of the authenticity of the offer adding that “Glo subscribers would get every item promised by the company in the Everyday Bonanza”.
