Somwhere in Kaduna. The “Xtra Connect” offer by South-African corporation MTN means calling cheaper to family or friends (“Call 3 family & friends @ 25k/sec”). Keeping contact with family that lives far away seems a very important use of the mobile phone here. People I have talked to named this as one of the main benefits of the “handset”. They also mentioned as a negative side postponing face to face contact by keeping in touch via the phone
