Robi Axiata yesterday launched a special campaign with Samsung, allowing the subscribers of the mobile operator to purchase Samsung Galaxy ACE NXT mobile sets with free talk time and internet worth Tk 8,900.

The set becomes effectively free for the clients as the Samsung set has a price tag of Tk 8,900, the mobile operator said in a statement.

Anyone intending to avail the offer has to call Robi Customer Care to get registered, according to the statement.

Upon successful registration, Robi will activate the bundle offer, which is open for all existing and new subscribers, the operator said.

Enrolled subscribers will get 3,300 minutes on-net and 675 minutes off-net free talk-times spread over the first three months, it said.

Besides, users will also get 15 GB free data service for three months along with 100 percent bonus on any purchased data pack from the fourth month up to the 12th month after registration, Robi said.

“Robi always strives to introduce innovative products for its valued customers. I am sure our subscribers would find this product attractive and helpful,” said Mahtab Uddin Ahmed, chief operating officer of Robi.

“We also strongly believe that this unique product will greatly enhance our subscribers' 3.5G experience with our network.”
