O2 has added a further seven countries to its low cost international calling service as it looks to continue its push to take advantage of this multi-million pound market.
Customers will be able to call mobiles in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, Ghana, Iraq and Bulgaria through the ‘International Extras’ bolt on. All of these countries are not currently covered by O2′s ‘International Favourites’ bolt on.
Callers will be given up to 260 mobile minutes for 10 when they purchase the bolt on by texting the country name along with a special short code to O2.
O2 consumer general manager Gary Booker said: “We know that the vast majority of calls made to these countries are made to mobile numbers. So we have created a product to bring the best value to our customers who want to stay in touch with their family and friends in these countries.
“Our portfolio of international calling products now means that wherever a customer wants to phone, we can offer a great value calling rate and an open and honest approach with no hidden charges.”
