Glo subscribers to be barred from calling MTN lines – NCC

Globacom subscribers may be unable to make calls to MTN lines soon, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), has said.

This, the NCC said, is due to the non-settlement of interconnect charges.

The commission disclosed this on Monday in a notice to the public signed by its Director, Public Affairs Department, Reuben Muoka.

The NCC, according to the notice, said it granted partial approval for the disconnection of Globacom from MTN Nigeria Communications Plc.

“Globacom was notified of the application made by MTN and was given the opportunity to comment and state its case.

“The Commission, having examined the application and circumstances surrounding the indebtedness, determined that Globacom does not have sufficient or justifiable reason for non-payment of the interconnect charges.

“The NCC further revealed that at the expiration of 10 days from the date of this notice, “subscribers of Globacom will no longer be able to make calls to MTN but will be able to receive calls.

“The partial disconnection, however, will allow in-bound calls to the Globacom network,” the notice read in part.
