Mr Niyi Olukoya, Globacom Marketing Coordinator, said that the service was also enhanced with two features of “Share Subscription and Gift Subscription”.
“These features enable subscribers to share their subscriptions or send subscription as gift; this is the first time that any mobile Internet service provider is introducing such a feature,” he said.
Olukoya said that Glo Bolt would revolutionise the Internet service market because of the phenomenal capacity of GLO 1 Submarine Cable.
