Glo Mobile Ghana, the African telecommunications giant, on Friday launched an innovative product tagged the Glo Bounce which will enable subscribers on the network to make free, unlimited calls even when they have no credit.

Announcing the product at a press conference in Accra, Glo Mobile Ghana’s Head of Business, Mr. Akeem Kazeem, said through the amazing tariff plan, Glo would reward customers with up to 100% instant bonus airtime every time they recharge which they can use to make calls to all networks, send sms and browse the internet.

He added that for the first time in Ghana, telecoms subscribers on the Bounce tariff plan would first enjoy their bonus airtime within their validity period before using the credit in their main account. “This means debiting will only start either after a subscriber has finished his or her bonus credit or when the validity days for the bonus credit has expired,” he said.

He declared that any subscriber on the Bounce plan will also enjoy the ‘Zero Balance Bonus’ which will allow customers to make free unlimited on-net calls, send sms and browse within the validity period of any recharge they have made. He added that a recharge of GHc1, GHc2, GHc3 and GHc5 will enable Glo customers to enjoy the bonus facility in 3 days, 5 days and 7 days respectively while recharges of GHc10 and above will provide subscribers with 15 bonus validity days.

“With this offer, if a Glo subscriber recharges with GHc5 for instance, he or she will be entitled to a bonus airtime of additional GHc5 which he or she can use to call and send sms to any network in Ghana and browse the internet within a 7-day validity period before his main credit is charged.

Additionally, the subscriber will enjoy free, unlimited calls and sms to any Glo number and browse the internet within the validity period.

To enjoy this unprecedented offer, existing prepaid subscribers on the Glo network simply have to dial ‘5650*1# or type ‘6’ in the sms box and send it to ‘5650’. All customers from Good Day Ghana & Gista can migrate free to this new offer, while customers on BiiiiiG 5 Extra can migrate to the Glo Bounce for a onetime fee of 50 pesewas.

Another significant benefit is that a customer on the Glo Bounce offer can register up to 5 Glo numbers as ‘Family & Friends’ to make unlimited calls at 2 pesewas per minute after their validity period. In addition, customers on the Glo Bounce offer who use GHc2 and above between Monday 12am to Friday 11:59pm will get a special weekend tariff of 2 pesewas per minute for on-net calls (Saturday 12am to Sunday 11:59pm) also after their validity period.

Furthermore, once a customer on Glo Bounce uses a credit of 30 pesewas and above, he/she gets the opportunity to make calls at 1 pesewa a minute between 10pm – 11:59pm and in the morning between 5:01 – 6:59am.

“The Bounce product is for all Ghanaians. Anyone outside the Glo network can still take advantage of this innovative product by simply buying Glo sims or porting their numbers to the Glo network to enjoy the unlimited offer,” said Kazeem.

He said the company would use the opportunity of the Glo Slide n Bounce concerts which it announced last week to further create awareness for the new Bounce product.

The Glo Bounce concerts will kick off in Kumasi on 9 November, move to Accra on November 16 and end in Takoradi on November 23, 2013.

The concerts have already been dubbed the Biggest Musical Jams to Hit GH as they will parade some of the best musicians in Ghana and Nigeria.

Mr Kazeem described the Bounce offer as a ‘gift’ for all Glo prepaid subscribers and said its introduction in Ghana has been inspired by Globacom’s high regard for optimum customer satisfaction.
