Airtel, Nokia offer opportunity to exchange phones

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 to
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 provide further value
to Nigerians in line with Airtel’s commitment
to becoming 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.”
