kilo234: the op is so on point. but i blame airtel to have let us known b4 blocking it, they should have just blocked it without letting us know as mtn has been doing ever sinceAirtel acted in a professional way by informing its subscribers before blocking it. That's an evidence to prove that they value their customers. |

A dick, OP. Go choke on one. Your having spare cash doesn't mean you have to come out and spout shit about others. I saw the 'cheap android phones' line. Are you one of those BB users who are still butthurt about Tecno's upheaval of the mobile phone industry? Get out, OP. Fegs aren't needed here. |

Heavenly Bang: A dick, OP.This is not about calling the OP names or using abusive words towards him, it is all about facing the reality on ground. Our threats about breaking airtel's sim card here will never make airtel to change the policy. If we all will channel our energy to make telecom operators reduce subscription charges and increase the data cap, we might achieve something. |

texazzpete: Guys, we get it. You're upset that the exploit you've used to use BIS data on your cheap Android phones is being closed by Airtel. You're upset that now, you'll have to start paying for your data bundles like the rest of the populace.

ThoniaSlim: So I decided to do a bit of research on the plans and rates offered by the same Nigerian telecomm operators in other countries. Below are screenshots of their various packages. Airtel screenshot is from Kenya operations, Globacom screenshot is from Ghana operations and MTN screenshot is from Rwanda. Convert the rates to Naira and you'll understand why I'm so pissed right now! I think NCC should take this up! See life..they offer them cheap data packages and thereafter advice them on how best to use it. These guys are mad.they keep exploiting us.I receive no less than 5 texts per day telling me to send a useless code to a useless number to win a useless price quoting how lucky I am to have been selected..and this big mouthed toothpazte op is speaking for them like his father owns Airtel. People don bid tire for Airtel. Millions will bid for a useless imaginary cway water dispenser or a mobile phone,like we would be on their network if we had no phones.. Don't know how to hate these service providers.dey seem more like corporate fraudsters to me. And how on earth will the regulatory body checkmate them when the thing we all call money must have exchanged hands? Ogbeni O.P why have you chosen to speak on behalf of Airtel? And don't you think this topic is on the first page cos you made sense,you didn't..its only there cos it centers on an issue that's quite attractive at the moment..ode 1 Like |

When people who are not well trained from their homes open a thread you will know.Let me make it clear to the poster that if you don't know how to address a society that is made up of the poor and the rich i.e by using well coordinated humble words, then your life will surely end you in a fiasco.See there is a way you will address people who are sad and it will turn to happiness even when the problem is not solved.There is a problem and people are looking for the solution you now come with your problem again instead of helping them find the solution.Please poster go and learn how to address people who sad because of a particular problem, thanks. |

True talk OP. I benefited fro it too cos I practically converted my blackberry torch 3 to a wireless router using the hotspot to connect my other devices. Insulting Airtel for discontinuing it means that our leaders have the right to loot us dry. The point I'm trying to make here is that for the fact that there is a loophole in the system doesn't mean we should use it 4 our personal satisfaction only. We are doing the same thing our leaders are doing but just on a different level. I know a lot of people will disagree but it is the truth. The idiots amongst us can go ahead n insult me now 1 Like |

Re: This Airtel Backlash Is Misguided! by SIRcumalot: 4:05am On Dec 06, 2013 |
The true fact is nobody is going to pay ngn1200 for a 1gig data plan when their competitors offer 3gig for a cheaper price. The usage of that plan across any kind of mobile device was the attraction since it isn't there anymore what is the point ? All the screaming here won't change anything Etisalat stopped youtube streaming on their blackberry plan I was expecting a revolution to my surprise only one person made a thread about it and like six people commented. |

Thonia helpfully posted a comparison chart to show that ALL the Carriers in Nigeria have data plans much more expensive than in several other African countries. If nothing else, this is a clear indication that this is not an Airtel issue and that this battle should be fought at NCC level. Such a lazy, entitled lot we have here...when Rogers in Canada decided they would not carry the BlackBerry Z30, they were bombarded with tweets and emails from irate Blackberry fans and Rogers customers until they decided to back down and carry the phone. How many of you indignant fellows have bothered to mail, tweet at NCC or call in on early morning radio to exhort the NCC to step in? 1 Like |

confusion247: Just head over to any Etisalat office. Basically they'll create a clone of your SIM for use as a data only SIM. So you can use the same package for your phone and your modem/Tablet. |

babsalux09: so u didn't insult me because you are being civil or because you didn't want to place yourself in the "idiots" category? So the fact that you paid for it makes it right? I guess you've never paid for anything in your life so paying for Airtel BIS to you is like buying shares in the company. |

Re: This Airtel Backlash Is Misguided! by Vires: 10:37am On Dec 06, 2013 |
Me I think the Dec 3rd announcement by airtel was a marketing strategy True new subscribers won't be able to join their bb plans But for those that have active accounts, as long as you keep renewing your data plan, you are good to go Now can you imagine the amount of money they are making since November 30th till date, for people renewing their subscription!!!!!!!! 1 Like |
