Airtel Nigeria has partnered with Nokia to provide Nigerians the
opportunity to exchange any of their current handsets for one
of Nokia’s swank smartphones, the Lumia 520.
Chief Sales Offi cer of Airtel Nigeria, Inusa Bello, said the
initiative was conceived to provide further value to Nigerians in line with
Airtel’s commitment to becoming the most loved brand in the daily lives of
Nigerians.
“The phone upgrade programme is yet another unique initiative by
Airtel and Nokia to provide Nigerians a rare opportunity to own smartphone
devices, complete with innovative applications to enhance their communication
experience. Also, the additional value of free voice and data services is one
more reason for consumers to port to Airtel,” he said.
In the same vein, the General Manager, Nokia West Africa, Chris
Brown, said Nokia was ecstatic that the Lumia 520 had been chosen as the
smartphone of choice for consumers to get their fi rst smartphone experience
on.
He applauded Airtel for leading the way on a much requested
upgrade opportunity which will offer consumers the best starter kit with the
device discount and a fully loaded phone with free airtime and data for easy
internet access.
Meanwhile the telecom operator has also stated the conditions
for qualification to get the device by Nigerians.
According to Bello, “To qualify for the Airtel/Nokia phone
upgrade programme, customers needed to visit any of Airtel shops with their old
but functional device of any given brand and network, then pay an exchange fee
of N23, 990, to own the Lumia 520.
“The offer also gives customers who embrace it up to N10, 000
worth of value for exchanging their old devices for the new Lumia 520 as they
stand to enjoy 6 months free airtime for on net calls and data worth N6, 000.
