According to a statement from Vodafone Ghana copied to the Ghana News Agency, the move reflects the strong relationship that had existed for years between Vodafone and the mobile phone manufacturer.

It said last year, Vodafone teamed up with Samsung to drive a hugely successful campus activation campaign across five of the nation’s key tertiary institutions.

Between July and October this year, the statement said, the smartphone campaign would enable customers to purchase “Samsung Galaxy A” series smartphones - Galaxy A2 Core; Galaxy A10; and Galaxy A20 - at attractive prices.

It said customers would also receive a free Vodafone SIM card and one gigabyte free data every month for 12 months.

Additionally, customers also get to subscribe to any of the data offers to enjoy more talk time and browse the internet, the statement said.

The telecoms company has also introduced the device micro-payment scheme, which allows customers to pay in instalments, it noted.

“This service is available only on Vodafone and demonstrates how the company goes the extra mile to ensure digital connectivity for all,” the statement said.

Mr Pushpinder Singh, the Director for Consumer Business at Vodafone Ghana, according to the statement said: “This is one of many things we are doing to show what we mean when we say the future is exciting. We are happy to partner Samsung, a global brand that also understands the ever-changing needs of the customer.

“The campaign gives power to the customer to control their mobile communications needs whilst being rewarded. We will continue to develop bespoke initiatives in line with our promise of providing an exciting future for our customers,” he added.

According to the statement, Mr Patrick Mandegue, the Head of Department, IT and Mobile at Samsung said: “At Samsung, we are inspired by the energy and inventiveness of this new generation.”

“The Galaxy A portfolio is a significant upgrade from any on the current market. It offers the latest technologies, and ultimately provides an option for everyone, whether first-time mobile users or value-seekers looking for great features at an affordable price,” he added.

The statement urged customers to access the device payment plan by dialing *474#, and following the prompts to enjoy flexible payment plans for the device.
