All Nigerian Gsm Network Prefix and Number ranges

All Nigerian Gsm Network Prefix and Number ranges 

Most times, when sending bulk SMS, you would want to know which network you’re sending the SMS to and how much it will cost you since bulk SMS service providers charge different rates for deliveries to different networks in Nigeria. And with the million of phone numbers in Nigeria and the various prefixes, it is difficult to keep track of new number ranges.

There is quite a bit of flexibility here; you can choose to pay per click-through or per view, and you can choose to run the ad continuously or only during specific dates. There is a "Daily Budget" option that allows you to choose the maximum amount you are willing to spend each day, and you can bid on how much you are willing to pay per click or per view. We recommend average daily budget of $10.00 to $100.00 for minimum of one week, to try it out but I am sure, you’ll never want to stop thereafter, the result is simply mind blowing trust me!
