Airtel: New single Recharge option for Data and Calls

Posted by Cash On on 2013-06-18 0

Leading telecommunications operator,
Airtel Nigeria, has introduced a dual-
purpose single recharge card for both
voice and data services on the network
that will allow customers to recharge for
both services with only one recharge
card.
The Single Recharge Option, another first
in the industry by Airtel, is available in
both physical and electronic recharge
formats. The physical recharge card
comes in N100, N500 and N5000
denominations, while the electronic pin
(paper) option are available in
denominations of N100, N200, N500,
N1000, N2000 and N5000.
For the Single Recharge, the old process
of recharge for the Airtel voice service
still suffices as customers are to dial
*126* followed by the Recharge PIN and
then #. However, to subscribe for data
service on the same recharge card,
customers will need to dial *143*
followed by Recharge PIN and #.
The Single Recharge Option also attracts
applicable bonus rates for data
subscription depending on the amount of
airtime purchased.
When customers load between N100 and
N500, they will enjoy 60% data bonus
while subscription of N1, 000 to N5, 000
attracts for 30 percent data bonus.
Speaking on latest innovation, the Chief
Operating Officer and Executive Director,
Airtel Nigeria, Deepak Srivastava, said the
latest recharge option further buttresses
the company’s commitment to continually
offer Nigerians innovative products
tailored to provide them a whole world of
value and convenience.
He pledged Airtel relentless drive to
deliver fresh and cutting-edge telecoms
technology so to ensure that its
customers continue to enjoy first-rate
products and services, adding that Single
Recharge is another great reason to be
on the Airtel network, especially coming
at a time when Mobile Number Portability
(MNP) allows customers to move over to
Airtel for the conveniences that it offers
its customers.
“The Airtel Single Recharge is simply a
double victory for our customers because
we have single-handedly, eliminated the
multiple processes of recharging or
subscribing for voice and data services
separately, by merging the two
procedures to produce a single and
seamless recharge process for both
services using a single step. This is not
only unique but revolutionary, and can
only come from a network that has got
Nigerians proudly covered”, he said.
The Airtel Single Recharge, which is for
both prepaid and postpaid customers,
also provides additional advantage for
data customers as it totally eliminates the
process of subscribing for data using
USSD or SMS codes.
