In apparent response to the clamour of its data customers for flexibility in the prices of data packages to allow them many choices on their subscription, Starcomms Plc, one of the telecommunication companies in data provision in Nigeria has introduced a 50-hour internet option.
The 50-hour package on iZAP according to Starcomms, costs N3990 while the 1x component costs N2500. The service will last fourteen days before a customer can recharge again. Before now, the lowest data subscription hourly plan for Starcomms internet access was 100 hours. To make use of the 50-hour package, customers can recharge with their recharged Starcomms phones with the aid of recharge card and through Starcomms’ website. The code for iZAP 50-hour plan is 249. This means that all a customer needs to do is recharge their Starcomms phones up to N4,000 and send SMS (*249*data device number*1234#) to 37938.
The plan, according to Nigerian Pilot investigations, is suitable for all customers, including students and budget conscious people who have been requesting for a data plan that they can subscribe to with out-of pocket funds.
Logan Pather, Starcomms’ Chief Operating Officer, said that the introduction of the 50-hour package is a direct response to customer’s demand for a value subscription plan on their internet access in order to stem long period of inactivity on their data account as a result of inadequacy of funds at the point of expiration of their last recharge.
“We observe that a large number of our data customers prefer flexibility in such a way that they can decide at the expiration of their default package to switch to something temporary and affordable while they get funds together for the higher priced packages. After due consideration of these concerns, we came up with the 50 hour package that is convenient and affordable. With it they can avoid unnecessary suspension of their internet access with little cost,” Pather said.
Starcomms has been in the providing smooth and fast internet access in Nigeria. For this, iZAP, the company’s premium internet product has been adjudged for three years consecutively as arguably the best internet product in the Nigerian Information Technology and Telecommunications Awards, among many other awards and recognition.
