FLEX is an innovation that will transform the way Ghanaians engage with social media, the way they stream videos on sites such as YouTube and platforms such as Whatsapp.

Imagine enjoying Facebook, Whatsapp, YouTube, Hangout, Gmail as well as unimaginable access to all your movies, soaps and television series anytime, anywhere free of all charges just by purchasing a data bundle for as low as GHC 1. Imagine also that for every cedi you spend, Airtel gives you back 10% in cash via your Airtel Mobile Money wallet – so for instance if a customer purchases a monthly premium bundle of GHC 35, they get GHC 3.5 cash back in addition to the over 5GB data they receive – put all these amazing offers together and you have arguably the most innovative and best value for money data bundle not only in Ghana but across Africa”.

We were the first to introduce free Facebook with access to more than 40 zero-rated sites. We transformed the way customers purchase airtime and data bundles through the introduction of “bundles on Facebook” and provided the convenience of topping up via customers’ Airtel Money wallet.

Consistent with our leadership in this space, we are introducing FLEX to give customers the freedom to enjoy all their favourite social media and entertainment sites such YouTube for free with every FLEX bundle they purchase.

Customers have the flexibility to choose between daily, weekly or monthly bundles by simply dialing *125# and choosing FLEX from the menu to enjoy these amazing offers. Indeed there’s nothing as rewarding as FLEX out there and there’s no better time to become an Airtel customer than now”. She concluded.
