Nigerian mobile operator Globacom, also referred to as Glo Mobile, has slashed its BlackBerry tariff subscription plans by more than half to encourage data usage in the country.

In a statement, the company said in addition to the drastic tariff drop, there is also a considerable increase in the data allowance for both BlackBerry 10 plans and the generic BlackBerry plans.

“Globacom is the first network to introduce Blackberry service in Nigeria and we have continued to maintain the lead by offering subscribers the best and most pocket friendly BlackBerry rates. Glo always has exciting offers for both existing and potential customers. We are offering these new tariffs to encourage Nigerians to use data more frequently. This will make life more abundant for our subscribers,” the statement added.

According to the company, the new BlackBerry subscription tariffs are for both old and new customers.

The Absolute Month platform, which hitherto was N2,800 with 3GB data, now goes for N1,000 with 3GB data. The Absolute Week plan goes for N500 with 700MB and the COMONTH and COWEEK plans go for N899 and N400 with data allowance of 3GB and 700MB respectively.
