MTN has delighted this year’s Hajj pilgrims with its recent offering tagged MTN Hajj Roaming Proposition, which was structured to bridge the communication gaps that Hajj pilgrims experience every year while they are away from families and business.
With calls from the Holy Land to another MTN lines in Nigeria and Saudi Arabia at N30 per minute and N50 to other networks, MTN said all willing pilgrims would never experience the usual feeling of estrangement that occur when one is within an unfamiliar environment.
The proposition not only allowed the pilgrims to make cheap calls while away from their network domain, it also gave them access to a cheap data and blackberry services pegged at 1 kobo per second, MTN said in a statement.
To ensure that the corporate goodwill behind the proposition was felt by the highest number of willing pilgrims, MTN visited the Hajj camps in four major muslim-populated cities like Lagos, Abuja, Ilorin and Kano, and distributed about 100,000 free MTN 2-in-1 SIM cards to intending pilgrims.
