10.7 Million SIM Cards Deactivated By Nigerian Telcos by web4everyone1: 12:27am On Aug 21, 2015 |
Nigerian Telcos have deactivated about 10.7 million SIM cards and this has led to affected customers picketing telcos’ customer centers across the country, Guardian reports. The SIM cards were barred after the Nigerian Communications Commission, the Nigerian telecoms industry regulator, gave carriers a seven-day ultimatum to deactivate pre-registered SIM cards and those with poor biometric capturing from their networks. The report by Guardian reveals that a number of aggrieved customers interviewed indicated that they were duly registered and were surprised when they discovered their SIM cards had been barred. Thisday Live reported that the NCC had given this directive as a fall out of its meeting with the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Department of State Security (DSS), the network operators. The parties present at the meeting had pointed attention to crimes committed in the country via unregistered telephone lines across various networks.

The innocent population suffers for what may not have been their faults. This NCC will urgently force telcos companies to implement but when we are extorted on daily basis they look the other way. |

Frankly, a friend of mine Etisalat line was blocked. The painful thing was that, it was blocked a minute after he recharged the sim. |

This thing tire me! Out of my four sims one has been giving me problems of late. I suspect this rubbish is the cause. I've called up customer care but they've been acting like I'm wasting their time and're quick to dismiss me everytime. May God save Nigerians from these daylight robbers. 1 Like |
