Glo described the review as part of its strategy to offer greater value and position itself as the preferred network for international calls, citing affordability and competitiveness.

The company also revealed plans to launch new IDD bundles to further lower costs for frequent international callers.

It urged customers to take advantage of the new rates to stay connected with friends, family, and business partners worldwide.
