Core Group Africa, Apple Incorporated
value added distributor for Nigeria, said on Wednesday that it had
entered into strategic partnership deal with Etisalat to deliver iPad in
Nigeria.
Customers that buy an iPad Wi-Fi +
Cellular (3rd generation) from any Apple Authorized Reseller (AAR) in
the country get the device as well as a one-year data plan on Etisalat’s
high speed broadband service.
“Offering a one-year data plan inclusive
with the purchase of an iPad from authorized resellers is further
testament to our commitment to establish an official reseller channel in
Nigeria”, according to Rutger-Jan van Spaandonk, executive director of
Core Group Africa, Apple’s sole official representative in the country.
“It is important for Nigerians to have
the assurance that when buying iPads from authorized resellers, they
know it is the genuine article, warranty will be honored and
after-sales service will be provided”.
“In addition to data plan, customers
also get one extra year of warranty when they purchase from AARs plus
the general one year warranty on the device.
“There is no longer any reason not to buy from officially appointed resellers”, Van Spaandonk added.
The amount of free data depends on the
iPad model purchased. Customers get 300MB, 500MB or 750MB every month
for 12 months (in total 3.6GB, 6.0GB and 9.0GB) when buying a 16GB, 32GB
or 64GB iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular, respectively. The value of these
packages range from N18,000 for the 300MB one to N36,000 for the 750MB
one.
Speaking in the same vein, Lucas Dada,
director of products and services, Etisalat Nigeria, said, “We are
delighted to have been chosen as the official provider of the free iPad
data plan in Nigeria.
