It was hard to believe that Airtel would give you unlimited subscription for a whole month for WhatsApp just for ₦100.00.

I was like, good one! I'll share large files with friends using BB.

So, I subscribed for the package by dialing *948# two weeks ago, my ₦100 was deducted, but upto this present moment, they still charge me for Whatsapp oo!

I've called their customer care many times.

So, what's your experience with it?

true i experienced the same thing, mine actually worked for a week , before i started noticing the charges, cant even get thru to their customer care and also sent a tweet no reply

same here too, i dont even bother to call 911, cuz i know dey wont help

It's a scam then!

I experienced same too. Mine only worked for about 2 weeks and then it stopped. I guess its a fair usage policy.

Mine worked out yesterday...but it's not totally free. I shared a 57MB file and just 3naira was deducted...

^^^You shared a file @ 3 naira doesn't mean it's working, it's supposed to be 100 bucks for a whole month. I believe they must have capped the data allowance without letting the users know.

Nigeria telecom companies usually don't state all terms and conditions, that's one area NCC should look into.

#100 my foot and for a month that's what i call extortion.Then a year it will be #1200.....Haba! Anyway what i did was use my UBA-Africard by VISA to pay for 5years service for just $3.71 on my mtn num and that's aprox #600, which is very far affordable. There are different services...1yr,3yrs & 5yrs at a high discount.What whatsapp will do is to Update there Database with your mobile number on the service plan you pay for with other details,so you wont be affected when you change from one smartphone to another. Mine is up and still running irrespective of the network here in Nigeria. I hope this will help.

Like seriously, the AIRTEL #100 WHATSAPP BUNDLE subscription is real......am using it right now, dats wat i used in sendin dis msg here. i also use it on other apps including bbm. KUDOS

AIRTEL #100 = If u wnt it to last for a month, do not download large files with it nor send larger files...It pays well and worths it.
