The wait is over for the Garden City of Port Harcourt as the roll out of the 4G LTE broadband Internet access by Smile Nigeria, has finally taken place.

The Port Harcourt Smile Internet network Service coming on the heels of successful launches in Ibadan and Lagos is a huge plus for Rivers State, as the State will by implication be riding on the back of valuable experiences which Smile has garnered in the Nigerian market as well as the innovative services which has become synonymous with the company.  

Tom Allen, Smile group chief operating officer is excited about what Smile is already doing in both Ibadan and Lagos and now Port Harcourt. “Nigeria is one of the most dynamic markets in the world, and mobile broadband will continue to play a crucial role in the transformation and development of the country”, he noted that Smile is well equipped to play a significant role in the nation’s telecommunications industry.

Allen assured the inhabitants of Port Harcourt that Smile’s best in class service delivery will remain consistent.

“We have the technology, people and partners to ensure that we deliver what we promise and more.” He said that 4G LTE deployed by Smile is the most advanced global technological standard for wireless data communications and represents a major change compared to older technologies such as 3G.

Allen noted that the Port Harcourt roll out is very unique because the city will enjoy new services introduced by Smile from day one.

According to him, Smile Nigeria has introduced several new innovations in its offerings, all intended to improve the customer’s experience.

The first innovation was a few weeks ago where they introduced the ability for a customer to dynamically select the speed of the service through a personalised online portal called MySmile with this tool an individual select the speed of the Smile data service and you can change it whenever you want.

Smile has also gone further, on the same personal portal page (MySmile); you can now select to disable access to high data sites. The objective of this is to give the customer more control and help them manage their data efficient and effectively.

Another innovative solution from Smile is the SmileON offer. With SmileON, if your data bundle runs out before the end of its validity period, you can still enjoy restricted access to the Smile service.

He added that one of Smile’s objectives is to deliver a product that the customer can effectively and efficiently use.

For sure, inhabitants of Port Harcourt and environs are in for super treat from Smile courtesy of its fantastic new innovations, some of which are not available from any other operator in the world.
