Hello Everyone!

I believe the greater percentage of the people reading this thread are not new to the 'wahallas' we suffer in the hand of our network operators.
The most annoying part is having to call a customer care to answer a problem with a non-working solution like "I'm sorry, we can't do that for you from here."

The aim of this thread is to help ourselves out with better tariff plans, provide needed codes, and proffer solutions to issues that anyone of us faces. I'm going to open this thread with one tip, and one warning.

(NOTE: I will mark any warning in RED, and any tip in GREEN. It is strongly recommended that everyone follows suit. I also suggest that issues are highlighted in ORANGE when unsolved, and modified to BLACK when solved. C'mon people; I see a color riot in here!)

[size=14pt]Hehe! You are welcome!

By the way readers, here is the fulfillment of my promise:


WARNING: DON'T dial *507# to "get 5X your daily spend" on MTN. The way they are going to charge you ehn, you won't be able to wage your anger.

TIP: GLO is currently ebeano now! Buy a glo SIM and join their Bounce plan; you can also benefit from OVERLOAD (I believe this is irrespective of tariff plan). Just dial *200#, load #200 or more, and dial *122*7# to see your overload balance.

WARNING ON THE LAST TIP: OVERLOAD CAN ONLY CALL GLO NUMBERS PLEASE, AND IS USELESS BETWEEN 8AM AND 10PM.[/size]

*122*7# ain't working

The whole of yesterday I simply couldn't use my data plan on my BlackBerry Q10 and it's so frustrating!

The GLO network sucks!!!!

What error message displays on your screen dear?[/size]

My brother, I empathize with you! However, did you check your network mode to see that it is in 3G? Browsing the net can be so slow if your network displays 2G or GPRS. Besides, Blackberry in general has that occasional "5-minute sluggish" flaw

Has the problem abated, is it still the same?[/size]

It's still very much the same bro. I keep shuttling between 2G and 3G just to see if I'd be able to use my phone. Often times, I ve had to put the phone off and back on again and still the problem persists.

I really don't know what the problem is with this GLO people! It's so frustrating I tell you!!!

And thanks for your concern bro.

You're welcome
I think there's something like Host Routing Table under Advanced options that you can send or something like that. Try to use it and see if anything better happens.

I don't do blackberry much. Did you try inserting a SIM from a different operator to see if it's peculiar to glo?[/size]

Yeah, I did try my MTN and AIRTEL sim cards and both worked perfectly? And now I know this problem is peculiar to GLO.

Thanks for the information. I appreciate!

[size=14pt]MTN has started again!

THIS ONE IS A WARNING!
Do not dial *507*anything# on MTN, with hopes of receiving any 5X bonus.
You will NOT get it; not for now, anyway.

If you're still having problems with Zone charging you 40K/s on all calls, migrate to a different tariff plan, or get another network provider's SIM card.[/size]

MTN hasn't been working with Opera-mini for sometime.

Men of Nigeria.
Biko which tariff plan and on which network charges least now? MTN have dry kpo kpo me... if you know what I mean.

Get 100% on your usuage be it calls, sms or data to call any network, browse and text. If you use N100 a day for example, you get N100 back. Migrate to this plan by dialing *300#. Calls are charged @ 22k/sec and 44k/sec on the bonus.
