Globacom has revived its roaming service designed to provide Nigerian travellers with affordable voice and data rates while in Saudi Arabia, especially for those on Hajj pilgrimage.
In a statement, Globacom said that “by providing the best roaming solution where customers can make voice calls and browse using a single bundle, they are assured of getting the best value for money while on pilgrimage or on any other visit to Saudi Arabia”.
A breakdown of the packages showed that the subscriber gets 5 minutes of Voice plus 100MB of Data with a validity of one day for N2,500, while for N5,000, a customer gets 10 minutes of Voice calls and 250MB Data.

Equally, 1 GB Data, which is valid for 10 days, is available for N10,000 and for N25,000, the customer gets 2.5 GB of Data with a validity of 30 days. In addition, 6GB of roaming data, with a validity period of 60 days is available for N50,000. These bundles enable travellers to easily share their experiences in Saudi Arabia with family and friends globally.
To activate any of these roaming bundles, customers simply need to dial *312#, select option 8 for Roaming, and follow the prompts. A key convenience is the ability to purchase a bundle in Nigeria, which will automatically activate upon arrival in Saudi Arabia.
For customers who prefer not to commit to a bundle, Glo offers a pay-as-you-go option with competitive rate of N30 per MB for data browsing, N350 per minute for calls back to Nigeria and N270 for local calls within Saudi Arabia as well as N50 to send local SMS.
These bundles ensure the customer can capture memorable moments in Saudi Arabia and share with family, friends and loved ones either back home in Nigeria or in any part of the world.
