Airtel launches smartTALK

In line with its vision of enriching and adding value to the lives of customers through the provision of exceptional experience, leading telecommunications service provider, Airtel Nigeria, has launched smartTALK, a voice based product that offers Nigerians 11 kobo per second call rate to all networks in Nigeria all day and all night.

Unveiling the product, Airtel Nigeria’s Chief Commercial Officer, Maurice Newa, explained that the new package reiterates the Telco’s commitment to continually provide customers with a variety of products aimed at helping them stay connected to their families and friends at affordable rates.

He said: “We are aware of the role communication plays in our world and we realize the need for people to constantly communicate with others within their circles, this is the reason we have created this product to keep our customers connected at an affordable price”.

Newa noted that smartTALK will not only help deepen friendship and family ties but will also help foster better relationships amongst Nigerians.  “At just 11k per second, customers can talk to anyone in Nigeria for as long as they wish,” he said.


He also stated that Airtel will continually try to not only meet but exceed the expectations of its teeming customers by providing them with value for money products and services.

To activate this product, customers should either dial *315# or send Yes to 315. The service, which is available to only prepaid customers, attracts a daily access charge of N5 and this is deducted only when the customer makes the first call of the day.
