Globacom said in a statement in Lagos on Thursday that with a monthly subscription of just N200, the subscriber can enjoy up to 85% discount on his or her favourite international destinations. It explained that the discount varies from 5% to 85% depending on which of the over 200 international destinations the call is made to.
For instance, while calls to China, India, US and UK (fixed lines) attract 40% discount, calls to Dominica, Italy, Japan and Spain are charged at 85%, 60%, 50% and 55% discounts respectively.  
Other high traffic countries covered by the offer include Belgium, Australia, Brazil, Benin Republic, Cameroon, Denmark, France, Germany, Ghana, Hong Kong and Israel. Others are Kenya, Kuwait, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Seychelles, Sierra Leone and Singapore.
