This agreement will enable ntel’s customers to make calls on 9Mobile’s network using any 2G or 3G handset within the specified trial zone.

According to Akinlola, some of the benefits of rolling out a national roaming service are immediate coverage parity, service backward compatibility of 4G to 3G and 2G, handset compatibility and speed to scale.

In his words:

“The partnership with 9mobile, which has 2G/3G, will help customers to enjoy the best data with good speed. It will help the network operators to become efficient and have less cost with the roll out in 4G. The planned roll out with 9mobile is on the commercial decision stage”

Ntel is owned by NatCom Development & Investment Ltd. (NatCom) and acquired the assets of State Owned Mtel and Nitel through a liquidation process that was concluded in 2015.

The company made its first on-net test data call in Lagos on January 18, 2016, and followed this up with the first on-net Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) call in Lagos on February 25, 2016, while full commercial operations commenced on April 8, 2016.

Its range of services include national bandwidth, international voice termination, international bandwidth, mobile and fixed communication.
