Equitel customers now can talk and chat both offline and online longer with a 25 per cent bonus airtime for every purchase they make.
The bonus airtime, which is applicable to any amount of airtime bought, can be used to make calls and send SMSs across all networks and to also browse the internet and will run for the next two months.
Equitel users can buy the airtime through the Equitel menu, the EazzyBanking app or Equitel merchants.
Equitel allows users to carry out financial transactions in addition to making calls.
