Airtel, Nokia begin exchange of phones in Nigeria

Leading telecommunications service
provider, Airtel Nigeria and Nokia, have
partnered to provide Nigerians the opportunity
to exchange any of their current handsets for
one of Nokia’s swank smartphones, the Lumia
520. To qualify for the Airtel/Nokia phone upgrade
programme, customers need visit any of Airtel
shops with their old but functional device of
any given brand and network, then pay an
exchange fee of N23, 990, to own the Lumia
520.

The offer also gives customers who embrace it
up to N10, 000 worth of value for exchanging
their old devices for the new Lumia 520 as they
stand to enjoy 6 months free airtime for on net
calls and data worth N6, 000. In addition, customers will also enjoy the device
value discount worth more than N4, 000, based
on the current market retail value of N28, 000. Speaking on the offer, the Chief Sales Officer of
Airtel Nigeria, Inusa Bello, said the initiative is
another first by any operator in Nigeria, saying it
will further provide telecoms value to Nigerians
in line with its commitment to become the most
loved brand in the daily lives of Nigerians. Said he: “the phone upgrade programme is yet
another unique initiative by Airtel and Nokia to
provide Nigerians a rare opportunity to own
smartphone devices, complete with innovative
applications to enhance their communication
experience. Also, the additional value of free voice and data services is one more reason for
consumers to port to Airtel.” General Manager, Nokia West Africa, Mr. Chris
Brown said Nokia was ecstatic that the Lumia
520 had been chosen as the smartphone of
choice for consumers to get their first
smartphone experience on. He also applauded
Airtel for leading the way on a much requested upgrade opportunity which will offer
consumers the best starter kit with the device
discount and a fully loaded phone with free
airtime and data for easy internet access.
