One of the reasons may also be the lower rates compared to international rates Latinos have, although they are known as the most talkative of all ethnic groups.
Nigerians prefer calling to texting, and most of their calls are to mobiles in Nigeria, which means that their friends and family are also highly equipped when it comes to new devices. They use access numbers to make international calls without WiFi, 3G or 4G, and equally KeepCalling app, both from TelephoneNigeria.com.
