Nigerians have responded enthusiastically to the number
reservation campaign which was announced by ntel, Nigeria’s advanced 4G/LTE
network operator on Tuesday 8, March 2015.
Under the terms of campaign, the first batch of
subscribers (hundreds of thousands) to reserve their numbers on the network,
and subsequently SIM-activate after launch, will be recognized as Pioneers on
Nigeria’s newest mobile network marking them out as among the first to reap the
company’s promise of abundant broadband on it’s pure-play Advanced 4G/LTE
network.
In his statement announcing the opportunity, Kamar Abass,
CEO of ntel, had noted that “ntel is a proudly Nigerian company that is fully
committed to empowering Nigerians through a technologically advanced pure-play
4G/LTE network. We are offering Pioneer status to the first batch of
subscribers on our network. Those who reserve their numbers, and subsequently
SIM-activate with us, will be the vanguard of a select corps of privileged
subscribers.”
The number reservation campaign, which runs until
08/04/16 drew millions of Nigerians to the company site which almost crashed
from the overwhelming traffic and has been trending consistently on social
media especially facebook, twitter and online chat forum, nairaland.
The company is offering prospective subscribers who log
on to ntel’s website www.ntel.com.ng, the opportunity to pick and reserve up to
5 numbers of their choice and, provided they register in time, are eligible to
become ntel Pioneers.
Ntel, which made its first Voice over LTE call in Lagos
on Thursday, February 25, 2016, is positioned to lead the way as Nigeria’s most
Advanced 4G/LTE network at a critical moment of transition.
It is entering a vibrant and exciting market with four
established players but hopes to make a mark quickly with its full commercial
launch of high-definition voice, video and high-speed Internet Access services
over Advanced 4G/LTE. ntel’s network is built on the 900/1800 Mhz which is
recognized as the most widely used frequencies for the deployment of 4G/LTE
technology.
Commenting further, Abass noted that “We expect to see
more than 50m 4G/LTE subscribers in Nigeria by 2020 and ntel is delighted to be
leading this transformation towards that critical mass of customers.”
