Etisalat Nigeria finally launched its 4G LTE service

Hurray! Etisalat has also joined tge 4G LTE family. Just few days after Glo launched theirs. So now, out of the big four telecom operators, MTN, Glo and Etisalat now supports 4G LTE network which leaves only Airtel in the GSM 3G network category. 

Update: At the moment, Glo currently offers the widest 4g network coverage as it's available in 9 cities while Mtn is available in 3 cities and Etisalat 4G network coverage is only available in some parts of Lagos at the moment. But the telecommunication company has promised to expand his network coverage soon.

Etisalat has launched its mobile 4G Long Term Evolution (4G LTE) service into the Nigerian market.

The Chief Executive Officer, Etisalat Nigeria, Matthew Willsher, who announced the new service roll-out, said the latest offering demonstrates the telco’s unwavering commitment to deliver superior customer experience to its subscribers.

“The 4G LTE technology offers our customers increased access to high speed data and quality voice services real time. With the new technology, our customers will enjoy efficient broadband internet and uninterrupted connectivity to clearer voice calls, increased access to online streaming and ultra-high definition videos,” he said.

Willsher said the Etisalat 4G LTE service offers a seamless experience because unlike other global system for mobile communication (GSM) networks, Etisalat customers do not have to go through the inconvenience of executing a SIM swap before they can enjoy 4G LTE since all Etisalat subscriober identity modules (SIMs) are already LTE enabled. He noted in addition that Etisalat’s 4G LTE network supports the widest range of LTE devices so many subscribers can immediately enjoy the benefits of LTE.

If you happen to be one of those whose smartphone isn't compatible with Glo and MTN 4G LTE, then you might want to check out Etisalat instead as it supports more older 4G LTE Smartphones compared to the rest. Another good thing is that all Etisalat sim cards are Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) which means there is no need upgrading your sim card before you can enjoy the Etisalat 4g service. 

While we wait on Airtel to release theirs, you currently have different options to choose from. You can read more (network Data Plans & Subscription Price) on the Glo 4g and Mtn or Visafone 4G here.
