Help Me Out With My MTN Sim Palaver by luluosas(m): 6:54am On May 19, 2013
Please, I need your help on my MTN Sim card.
For 4 days now, the Internet icon have refused to show up on my Samsung Galaxy Y Pro DUOS. I had made up my mind to subscribed to MTN BBC plan but, before I could do it, I discovered that the Internet icon was not displaying again.
So, I inserted another MTN Sim card on my phone and it came up. But, when I inserted my MTN Sim card on another phone, the Internet icon refused to show up as well.
I called CC 3 times yesterday and they promised it has been refreshed but, it's still the same thing. The last guy that attended to me asked me to take it to their centre if it continues.
Well, I am thinking of doing so tomorrow Monday. Again, I am thinking of outright Sim card swap. What is your advice to solving this problem? Thank you all.

Yes, it is the old Sim card but, it was working before this problem surfaced. I think I will just do the Sim swap one time. Thanks for your advice.

Thank you but, I was mad with MTN yesterday.
This is why I will continue to prefer Glo above other telecoms providers in Nigeria today.
Yesterday, when my MTN Sim card I did a Sim swap became active with Internet access, I thought of exhausting the free 9MB they gave me on my previous recharge, before I will subscribe to the BBCDAY plan of N100.
So, I started to browse with the free MB, thinking I will be disconnected by MTN just like Glo when the free MB is exhausted. How wrong I was!
Therefore, after browsing for a while, I decided to check my account balance lo and behold, the N530 I was having have been reduced to 80 something naira. Honestly, I was very angry with MTN.
Now on the Glo network, whether you are on a paid or on a free bonus data plan, you will be disconnected free Internet service once your allocated data volume is exhausted, and your remaining airtime on your account untouched. This way, you can then decide to resubscribe or continue to browse on PAYU basis, depending on what you want to do.
Why can't other telecoms providers emulate Glo on this one? Sad!!!

Please help me out Bro, what exactly did you do?
I have done a simply swap to a 128k sim, yet I don't have the internet network, this has taken up to 2months now. Please can you help me out?
Probably a step by step process? Because I have done a sim swap, and have died of patience.
Thanks.
