MTN Nigeria introduces Visitor SIM for inbound international travellers

MTN Nigeria has announced the introduction of its new Visitor SIM specially designed for guests travelling into the country.

The Visitor SIM comes pre-loaded with an appealing package that includes local and international call and data bundles, the telecoms operator explained in a press statement seen by Business Metrics On Wednesday.

MTN said that this package will enable people visiting from other countries to stay connected with their friends, family and business associates on MTN’s super-fast network.

“MTN Visitor SIMs are easy for inbound international visitors to acquire, activate and use, in addition to which they offer far better value than any roaming tariff.

“Not available from any other operator, the service is poised to deliver convenience and the best-in-class customer experience in line with MTN’s brand promise,” the statement read.

Meanwhile, according to Adekunle Adebiyi, chief sales and distribution officer, MTN Nigeria, “The new Visitor SIMs will ensure that before setting foot outside the airport, people visiting Nigeria can plug in, reconnect – to loved ones, associates, tools and information, and begin sharing their remarkable experiences, with no concern about roaming charges.”

He said the Visitor SIMs are available in the arrival halls of international airports and other ports of entry.

“They are valid for 14 days, which can be extended up to 30 days via MTN’s self-service menus or USSD,” he explained.
