MTN offers free calls and text messages to/from Ukraine
MTN says it will be offering free international calls and SMS to all existing prepaid and postpaid customers in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The company made this known in a statement today.
MTN said the offer is aimed at supporting customers to stay in touch with their loved ones while eliminating associated international direct dialling (IDD) costs due to high international telecommunication regulations (ITR) to Ukraine.
Karl Toriola, chief executive officer of MTN Nigeria, said the telco was aware that some of its customers in Ukraine experienced challenges in contacting their loved ones.
