Corroborating this, the Managing Director of Matrix, Pastor Dimeji Matesun, observed that with the ‘Slot Trade-in’ the value of a phone could be used in exchange for another, thereby giving customers real value for their money.

Matesun noted that the traded phones (used phones) received from the programme would be sold by Matrix through its used phone retail stores across Nigeria. “The bottom line is to bring benefit to the Nigerian people at these hard times,” he said.

Ezeigbo stated that the underlying philosophy of Slot was to add value to people’s lives by making the all-important use of mobile phones a pleasurable experience. “One word you can take anywhere is this: If you buy a phone from Slot, you are sure of the source,” he added.

In order to forestall the possibility of customers bringing in stolen phones for trade-in, Ezeigbo said, “However, as a way of guarding against increasing theft of mobile devices, a new website www.stolenphone.org has been launched, thereby providing a platform for consumers to register every lost device.

“This process is very simple: just register the model of the device, IMEI number and your phone number. This website makes it easy for our staff to check if the device is stolen or not before proceeding with the process of trade-in, which means that if you buy a phone from Slot, you are sure of the source.”

Concluding Ezeigbo stated, “We shall continue to provide the shopping and wonderful after- sales service experience that we are known for by making the all-important use of mobile phones a pleasurable experience.
