Globacom, telecoms giant in partnership with the Ondo state government, has provided an initial 5000 postpaid lines for all civil servants in Ondo State service.
Under the arrangement, the telephone lines have been networked into a Closed User Group, and workers will call one another at no cost, while calls made outside the group will be at a substantially reduced rate.
The lines are serially activated within the user group and are placed on the Easy Pay platform where they can have their lines credited with the normal recharge cards for calls outside the CUG.
