37354502: I was on my way out of Festac today, through the Agboju Market thorough-fare when I was accosted by an Etisalat lady marketer with all d trappings & paraphenelia of Etisalat, who thrusted 3 simpacks my way saying "you can have them, they're free". After collecting, hardly had I taken 2 steps when she reached out again about registering. I told her not to bother but her persistence made me reconsider while she was at same time mumbling its got N1000 worth of airtime, 40mb of data but will hav to activate it with a N100 recharge. She later retrieved a pack thereby leaving me with two. She took me to an eighteen sitter bus & I went through all the process & was told it'l go active by 8pm.
Well, roll forward to 8pm & your guess is as good as mine.
Moral of this?....watch out for these bandits on the prowl. Im sure there r many of them scattered around the metropolis. And keeps me wondering if Etisalat is complicit with this poo playing out.

skyhighweb:
mine guessis different, did u get mtn abi glo, was d sim card empty, many guessing, so wwhich one is it

Abugab:
Op it will work after like 48 hours as they have probably not registered the details on the network yet.

Ay92:
Almost the same thing happened to my dad

Op I would advise you go back to the lady and re-register again or better still go to an etisalat office where you can be sure of the registration being successful. This same thing happened to me with Airtel and it was on a weekend so I had to wait till Monday to register again. And forget all those freebies talk, your account is as empty as.... Mind you after the registration at the office you might be forced to recharge your line with nothing less than a thousand naira.
