SMILE Communications Limited has launched the lowest call rate in Nigeria, using 4G LTE technology. Godfrey Efeurhobo, managing director of the company, said that customers of the Smile Communications could make calls at 8 kobo per second to any network in Nigeria.
He said customers could also make and receive calls at the same rate from any country in the world. “As you are aware, Smile made the first ever Voice over LTE (VoLTE) call in Nigeria during the beta testing of its voice service in October 2015. Most of you were invited and witnessed this historic event. Since then, we have introduced SmileVoice to our customers who can use SmileVoice from a VoLTE-enabled handset with Smile SIM Card or downloading the SmileVoice App on their Android or Apple iPhone device.
“The SmileVoice App is a world-first, free mobile app that give all our customers access to super clear voice calls over 4G LTE network, without the need for a VoLTE handset. Having the SmileVoice app on your mobile is like having a second SIM Card in your phone.
“Our customers can use their data plan to make super clear voice, video calls and send SMSs to any number locally and internationally. There is no need for the recipient to also have SmileVoice. With SmileVoice, thousands of Nigerians are enjoying seamless, super clear voice calls to their loved ones to and from anywhere in the world.
“No More Roaming Bill Shock! Let me explain it. On the Smile network now, whether with our SmileVoice or a VoLTE compatible phone, you can make calls to any network in Nigeria at local rate which gets as low as 8kobo per second on the SmileVoice ONLY bundle plan. (below N5 a minute). This is unprecedented.”
With the SmileVoice App, connected to any data network anywhere in the world, you can make calls to any network in Nigeria at the same rate! If home is where the heart is, you never have to be far from home again! On the Smile network, you take home with you everywhere you go. Remember, you can do video calls and send SMS using the SmileVoice App.
Smile is Nigeria’s premier 4G LTE operators with coverage in eight cities, with plans to roll out services in more cities in Nigeria. Smile possesses a Universal Access Service License, UASL, which means that it is a full communications company, and not an ISP, albeit providing services using the latest 4G LTE technology.
The superiority of the Smile data network makes people think that the company are merely an Internet Service Provider, ISP. According to the company, Smile is a full, best-in-class communications company. The telecom giant is today where every other communications company would like to be. With Smile, telecom users are at the cutting edge of telecommunications technology.
Nicolen Vanzyl, group head of communication and marketing of the company, said calls are charged in megabytes, MB. “All SmileVoice calls are charged in MBs to your active data bundle and equates to a local kobo/second call rate. As an example, when you have an active 10GB anytime Smile Data bundle and make local SmileVoice calls, these calls are charged in MBs to your data bundle and your effective call rate per second is eight kobo – low call rates and an easy-to-use voice service,” she said.
Smile Communications is presently in eight cities, namely Lagos, Abuja, Benin, Kaduna, Ibadan, Port Harcourt, Asaba and Onitsha.
