“What that means is that subscribers can use their discounts on Airtel-to-Airtel calls as well as Airtel-to other network calls,” he explained.

He said customers on the service would see how much they are paying for their calls when they attempt making a call, adding that, that was Airtel's way of empowering customers to manage their usage of airtime.

Mr. Ojeikere said Airtel believed in delighting its customers with products designed with customers' needs in mind, adding that “everyone appreciates a discount and the SmartZone is another way of giving back to the customer. It is also another way of saying thank you for being with us on our journey of becoming the most loved brand in the daily lives of Ghanaians.”

The Airtel Ghana Marketing Director said the company would continue to roll out new relevant products and services unto the market.

The statement said to subscribe for the SmartZone, Airtel subscribers should dial *311#, and reply by texting 2 to subscribe.

Airtel has over the past few weeks introduced a number of products unto the market, driven largely by consumer interests. These included Facebook Zero (where subscribers have free access to the text version of Facebook), Airtel Frndz (where subscribers can make discounted calls to 10 special friends), reduction on the prizes of modems from GHC 60 to GH49, Opera Mini on Airtel (where users can freely download one of the world's most popular browsers for their handsets), etc.
