MTN instigated its community telephoning with 650 telephone boxes spread across five states. The company’s Brand Manager (Xtraconnect), Mrs Saidat Lawal-Mohammed, said that the project was designed for the low income class that cannot afford to buy and maintain handsets. Lawal-Mohammed said the community phone is at discounted rates, as the company is set to make telephone available to all Nigerians at a pocket-friendly rate, adding that to call any network through the line costs only N22 per minute and 37 kobo per second. Customer can a get a SIM card which allows accessibility to the service for as low as N150, and buy recharge cards for as little as N100 for a wide range of opportunities enjoyed by mobile handset users, including voice and text messaging, she added.
