• Free access to new rates
Accra, Monday 13 September 2010. Zain Ghana has made telecom history by slashing their call tariffs to only 8 pesewas per minute across all networks, with no registration required in order to enjoy the new rates. They are also offering their customers 8 free SMSs per day from one Zain user to another. Effective immediately, these low prices are intended at offering more value to their loyal customers.
The fact that no registration is required means that customers do not have to pay anything in order to access the new rate of 8 pesewas per minute. It is free and immediate, and all new and existing Zain customers have access to the new prices.
Zain has always offered access to quality services for their customers as well as some of the lowest prices in the telecom industry, and they continue to lead the industry in this regard.
Announcing the new tariffs, Zain’s Country Manager, Mr. Philip Sowah highlighted that Zain is always looking for new opportunities to enable the Ghanaian public to enjoy the network. ‘Zain is always innovative in its concern for customers. We do not require our customers to do anything in order to enjoy this offer; it is all about value for money and affordability. With mobile phones being such an integral part of our day-to-day lives, customers deserve to be able to afford making calls whenever they need to.’
Even with the new call rates, Zain’s other offers are still applicable. These offers include ‘Payback’; where customers get bonuses for receiving calls on a Zain line, ‘Free night calls’ every night from midnight to 5 a.m. and ‘Friends and Family’; where calls can be made to 5 selected family and friends for up to 45% off.
