Customers on the package are required to make one minute of local call between 8am and 12midnight to enjoy the free midnight calls, SMS and data offer.

The statement quoted the Airtel Nigeria’s Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director, Deepak Srivastava as saying that the Airtel Big Family Xtra offer will continue to give Airtel customers the unique benefits of making calls to all on-net numbers at 15kobo per second and 30 Kobo per second to other networks after the first minute call of the day at 60 Kobo per second.

Additionally, customers can call one Airtel number of their choice at 10 Kobo per second all day long.
