Starcomms Launches S-Credit Service, Reduces Net-call Tariff to N5

Leading Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) operator in Nigeria, Starcomms Plc has launched another value added service called S-Credit, a service that is designed to ease subscribers of the problems associated with recharge card purchase and distribution, especially when there is need for emergency calls, and access to recharge cards is difficult or impossible.

According to the company, the S-Credit service, otherwise known as bridging credit, allows pre-paid subscribers a post-paid lifestyle where airtime can be accessed at critical times and will be paid back the next time a customer recharges.

With S-Credit, customers can top up their airtime 24/7, make calls at critical periods and can also initiate calls even when their balance is zero naira. This allows the customers to do more with their mobile phones while alleviating credit downtime at critical periods.

Recently, the company introduced Awuff and Awuff Plus, giving its customers a reduced on-net tarrif of N5.00 per minute on pre-paid, Virtual Private Network (VPN) and post-paid for a period of one month following the successful outcome.

The new tarrif of N5.00 per minute represents a drop of 44.4 per cent on the existing tarrif on net-calls of 15K per second. The new tarrif would be applicable on all tariffs and customer base that is VPN, post-paid, Telemax and Awuff.
