Speaking on the new offer, Olu Akanmu, the Chief
Marketing Officer of Airtel Nigeria, described the “WhatsApp” data bundle
service as the first of its kind in the country. He said that it would provide
great a channel to connect Nigerian youths to their friends with unlimited
access.
According to him, the new package, which is
available to all prepaid subscribers, attracts no deductions from the user’s
data bundle or airtime balance.
“Coming at a time when we are about to start Mobile
Number Portability in Nigeria, and with our robust 3.75g broadband strength
spread over 180 cities across the country, our customers have just been handed
another winner in our collection of bespoke data services through WhatsApp. We
shall continue to push harder to realize our vision of becoming the most loved
brand in the daily lives of Nigerians”.
Customers who activate data bundles of 200MB or more
can also enjoy unlimited access to “WhatsApp” without having to pay for the
value-added service.
“WhatsApp” is considered one of the most popular mobile
applications worldwide, owned by “WhatsApp Inc.” The application allows instant
chat features, file & location sharing and more via smart phones through
the Internet.”
