Nigeria’s telecom giant, Globacom, has announced a major reduction in its International Direct Dialing (IDD) rates, making it more affordable for customers to stay connected with friends, family, and business partners abroad.
The new rates, which took effect on August 10, now allow calls to over 15 popular international destinations for as low as ₦30 per minute. For instance, calls to the United States now cost ₦30 per minute, down from ₦35, while rates to the United Kingdom have dropped from ₦400 to ₦350 per minute. Similarly, calls to India are now ₦40, reduced from ₦45.
Other notable reductions include: China at ₦75, Saudi Arabia at ₦300, Cameroon at ₦700, the United Arab Emirates at ₦325 (down from ₦450), and Germany at ₦550.
Customers connecting to African countries will also benefit from lower charges. Calls to Ghana now cost ₦500, Benin Republic and Togo ₦650 each, Côte d’Ivoire ₦700, Niger Republic ₦750, Libya ₦700, and Malawi ₦1,100 (down from ₦1,200).
According to Glo, the revised tariffs are part of its commitment to offering more value to both new and existing subscribers. The company also hinted at upcoming IDD bundles that will provide even more cost-friendly packages for frequent international callers.
With this move, Globacom aims to position itself as the go-to network for affordable international communication, enabling customers to connect seamlessly across borders without worrying about high call costs.
