Speaking to members of the press, Comium’s Director of Commercial Services Mr. Joe Amara-Bangalie Jnr, in his key note address made some announcements, which he said are in line with his company’s promises of delivering “value added and exciting products and services before the end of the year. This follows the launching of Comium Weekend which proved hugely successful.
Before going further, Mr. Amara-Bangalie revealed that Comium Weekend can now be accessed by prepaid subscribers using SMS. “By sending a blank SMS to 3333 at a cost of 150 units prepaid subscribers will be able to enjoy free talk time on all their Comium to Comium calls from Friday 12 midnight to Sunday 12 midnight.”

The Comium director of commercial services was however quick to state that Comium subscribers in the provinces-the HomeZone, will still continue to enjoy the promotional HomeZone rate of 5 units per minute for Comium to Comium calls on a 24/7 basis. “This will more than compensate for the weekend offer,” he said.
Speaking on the motive for the press briefing, Mr. Amara-Bangalie said he is launching two different offers. “One for all our subscribers and the other only for our subscribers in the HomeZone, which is the provincial areas,” he said.

UK landline 22 units per minute, Mobile 27 units UK per minute, Lebanon landline 25 units, Mobile 25 units. The USA 25 units mobile and Canada 25 units per minute all go just after the first minute call and these rates are effective as he was speaking, and they constitute the most affordable international rates in Sierra Leone to these destinations.
