When I realised that almost everyone on Nairaland was into this MTN SME Data resell, I felt something within that sooner or later, MTN will find out how their customers are being 'diverted' and put an end to it, considering the fact that these third party peeps offer data bundles way cheaper than what is available from our network operators.

These networks providers are not fools and I knew they'd definitely find away to deal with this sudden surge of their data resell because in reality, it actually reduces their market share drastically.
Imagine third party data resellers sell 250MB just for as low as N400 while same data size sells for a whooping N1,000 from MTN Nigeria. That's an amazing 60% reduction from customers' end, providing them with same data qualitya and quantity.

I too got excited about this business and I already got my hands into it. But I noticed something this morning. I sold two bundles of 250MB to two customers of mine, after activation they called me and complained that they received the data share but actually MTN charges them directly from their main account instead of the SME Data Share Balance. I tried providing them with basic support like making sure they set their APN to that of MTN by default but still to no avail. To clear my doubt, I patiently wait until another customer requested for another bundle and see what happens next. To my greatest surprise, he called back too that MTN charges him directly from his main account. As I write this, I just activated another 250MB to a close friend and the story didn't change.

However, in my bid to ensure this is just a network problem, I called some customers whom I sold data to yesterday but their own was working just fine, in fact about 10 of them. It's only new activations starting from early this morning that won't just work.

My conclusion

MTN finally realise that they'll continue to hugely lose market by allowing business owners to use SME bundles and 'override' their customers by selling them data bundles at dead cheap prices.

<b>UPDATE!</b>

After careful research and observations, I finally found a solution to this, it's actually a glitch from MTN's end but could easily be resolved by a customer.

MTN SME Data <I>doesn't really work with Goody Bag Bundle</i> activated. So if u are a lover of Goody Bag voice bundle like me, make sure u wait until u exhaust ur bundle before requestiong for SME Data from any third party reseller.

It still works fine. Do tell your clients to either reset their APN or send "Data On" to 131. That should do the trick.

MTN is making more money from this platform so they wouldn't be stopping it in a long while. SME (Small/medium-sized enterprise) packages is targeted at people or business men and women who want to engage into business. As long as data is concerned, no Network provider is ever at loss. Moreso i think its an idea by MTN and its business section to relieve themselves of customers "wahala" because your reseller bears the burden from their clients
