Celtel Nigeria Limited has introduced N50 recharge card option to the Nigerian market, the lowest recharge option today.
The Marketing Director, Celtel, Mr. Norman Moyo, said the firm was also additionally introducing a N100 recharge denomination into the market. In a press conference in Lagos on Wednesday, Moyo said the new N100 recharge denomination would be available in both physical and electronic forms (as recharge cards and e-vouchers) while the N50 denomination would be available in electronic form only for now.
Celtel also has lowered the entry level of GSM services by reducing the price of its SIM card from N300 to N200. The new price further lowers the threshold for the acquisition of mobile lines by intending GSM subscribers. In addition to this, all new activations still receive the bonus airtime of N100 on first recharge.
