Leading Nigerian telecommunication network, 9mobile, has launched a special roaming offer for Hajj pilgrims, aimed at providing an affordable roaming experience during the pilgrimage to Mecca. This move is expected to excite customers, who can now enjoy discounts on voice calls, SMS, and data transactions. The Hajj Special roaming offer is available until August 31, 2023.
9mobile customers can now enjoy massive discounts on calls, data, and SMS transactions with an additional bonus of free incoming calls when roaming in Saudi Arabia on the Zain network during the Hajj period. The offer allows customers to make voice calls within Saudi Arabia and back to Nigeria, at a tariff of only N60 per minute, while sending SMS will cost just N30 within Saudi Arabia and back to Nigeria. Additionally, data usage will cost 5 kobo per kilobyte (N0.005k/kb). The offer also grants customers free incoming calls of 200 Mins upon one-off or cumulative recharge of N5000.
Director of Product Innovation & Business Development at 9mobile, Kenechukwu Okonkwo, stated that the Hajj offer was launched, so that 9mobile customers who are performing this year’s Hajj can stay connected with their families, friends, and loved ones at pocket-friendly rates and avoid the hassles of acquiring a local SIM card for their short stay in the Holy Kingdom. The offer allows our esteemed customers to make calls to Nigeria and within Saudi Arabia, send text messages, and browse the internet with their 9mobile SIMs at very affordable rates, with the added benefit of receiving calls from Nigeria free of charge. Customers must ensure that they roam on Zain, Saudi Arabia to enjoy these special roaming benefits.
The Director went on to reinforce 9mobile’s brand value of Quality, Innovation, and Customer-centricity as instrumental in its service delivery, and vowed to continue to keep customers seamlessly in touch with their loved ones via wholesome service delivery embedded in qualitative and innovative products and service offerings everywhere.
9mobile has recently invested massively in network modernization and upgrades, in addition to the installation of new telecom sites to further enhance service delivery, optimize market competitiveness, and provide customers with more value at no extra cost.
