Glomobile subscribers will not be able to connect with their Airtel counterpart after a 10-day ultimatum.

This is according to information by the Airtel Networks Limited (Airtel).

However, during the period they will be able to recieve calls from the network.

Airtel took this decision having been granted permission for a partial disconnection of Glomobile by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), as a result of non-settlement of interconnect charges.

According to reliable information avilable to www.theoctopusnews.com, Glomobile was notified of the intending plan to disconnect without any positive action.

A telecom industry sources who spoke with us on condition of annonimity said Glomobile appear not to care about its connectivity with Airtel Networks Limited and Airtel subscribers, as they have not done anything positive about the situation.

“They were notified of the application by Airtel and were given the opportunity to comment and state their case. The commission having examined the application and circumstances surrounding the indebtedness determined that the affected operator does not have sufficient reason for non-payment of interconnect charges,” the source said.

A notice by Airtel to Glomobile subscribers read:

All subscribers are therefore requested to TAKE NOTICE that:

  1. The Commission has approved the Partial Disconnection of Glomobile by Airtel in accordance with Section 100 of the Nigerian Communications Act 2003 and the Guidelines on Procedure for Granting Approval to Disconnect Telecommunications Operators.
  2. At the expiration of 10 days from the date of this notice, subscribers on the network of Glomobile will no longer be able to make calls to Airtel, but will be able to RECEIVE CALLS.
  3. The Partial Disconnection however, will allow in-bound calls to the Glomobile network.

“Please note that this disconnection will subsist until otherwise determined by the Commission,” the notice read.
