I received your sms on the planned blockage of your bis plans on non blackberry devices.Pls, i want to encourage you to simply hurry up in blocking it and see how much customers you lose. You can also ask Glo how they fared after blocking their bis on other devices cos me as a person haven't used my Glo line since the blockage. It must be pointed out to you that i have never used my Airtel line for calls or sms but simply for surfing the net.The reason why i use it for browsing is not cos f the super fast network but cos of the cheap data and sometimes i have to buy extra data from other network providers when i have important stuffs to do online that wont allow me being patient with your crappy network. I can promise you one thing though, once this move is completed, i will never use that my Airtel Sim again and i guess it will expire after non usage for 3months. The surge in your customer base is cos of the cheap data that the bis provides and am sure there are peeps like me that are ready to abandon their Airtel lines once this bis is blocked. From December 4th, that is if the planned blockage goes on, it is total switch off of my Airtel line. Besides the only way you and your fellow telecom companies spend the billions you make from us is by giving Davido, Kcee and other Nigerian artist huge contracts worth millions of Naira for doing nothing, an average Nigerian that enrich you guys never gain from you guys but get scammed by the tons of sms sent to us as a means to defraud us of our hard earned money.i will also advise my family and friends to also switch off their Airtel lines as leaving it on will not be of any use to them since they do not make calls or send sms on your crappy network.i advise my fellow Nigerians to do same too. TO BE FOREWARNED IS TO BE FOREARMED

Airtel Nigeria made a huge mistake, they should never have informed people about this.

I have been using Etisalat for years, and they do whatever they want without informing their customers, from when they stopped unlimited data plan, to them stopping BiS from working on non-bb devices and when they stopped us from watching youtube (online videos) with one's own 3gig. If there were better networks in Nigeria, I would have swapped since, but I guess I'm stuck.

Anyway, Airtel made a huge mistake, they should have blocked it once or just announce on their website or social media handles, instead of texting dumb Nigerians likE the OP.

AIRTEL SHOULD BLOCK IT AND IMPROVE THEIR NETWORK.

Nonsense letter. If u wan use BIS go buy Blackberry.

hunger go worry some people sha.

another open letter! GO AND BUY BB

Policewoman: Nonsense letter. If u wan use BIS go buy Blackberry.

Very very nonsense letter. The company should go bankrupt because you want to have free data abi. Android phones consume more bandwidth than BB's on BLACKBERRY Internet Service. It's not called Android and iPhone Internet Service.

I formally used Airtel on my blackberry, don't make calls wit it, don't even send an sms wit it. Av dropped the line now when I discover another network actually provide more data and their network is more fast in my area. Many of my colleague are switching to other networks now. Airtel will be the looser on this one.

an average Nigerian that enrich you guys never gain from you guys but get scammed by the tons of sms sent to us as a means to defraud us of our hard earned money well said

Airtel will regret this if it's true.

[b]Look at this one... Are you angry with airtel or with BB device? You are using a better phone than "that crappy phone" (as you put it) yet you don't have a better money to subscribe to the databundle that suits your better phone(for your dumb mind). Before you buy that your "useful" phone didn't you take your time to check the data bundle plans of all the network providers? Why are you comparing the data plan of a "useless" phone and that of "useful"? Don't you know that you have to pay more for using a "useful phone"?
Useful TECNO phone my foot!!!
Mr. man, its either you drop your "useful phone" and go get Nokia3110c or you pay the required amount for your desired data bundle than to come here and cry like a baby.
Or better still, go get the BEST phone (blackberry)
I even doubt you use up to 20% of the functions of that you TECNO whatever model. Na mojo your type dey watch sef...

@Topic jhor... Airtel will surely loose many customers cuz I subscribe to BIS with my MTN and use airtel on my system. Now it has to be some other network for my PC.[/b]

If was enjoying my airtel before this android rave came and you people suck up the network.
Abeg make una go. Network is not just for data, leave it for customers that use it for calls, sms and data.
We need quality not quantity.

Exactly @op i only use airtel for browsing,that's all ... Anyways they should do whatever they want to do.

Dont mind the ignoramuses. I blame our poor standard of education.

Lolx I don't even remember where my zain is self

well I see things differently here, airtel is my major line n I'm not letting go, I'm also using an android phn but it will only be stupid of me to drop my airtel sim for EMPTY N (a dead airtel line is better than a live MTN)

I have already dump my sim self. Cant remember where i throw it. We are managing them, yet they are acting with pride. RIP AIRTEL

With people like you protesting for us, how will Airtel listen to us?
