OP I concore with your idea

I support that, why should be time limited, as if it is a lottery.

Please send this as a petition to NCC

True.

Do you think our service providers are not smart. Simple, if you abolish a validity data period be ready to face the high rate of consumption of data. They will simply increase the kilobyte per page which will still make it equivalent to the former

Ok let me spoil show and side mtn for once in their miserable lives
some free browsing cheats need data subscription to work, if data validity is abolished, some folks would browse free for life.

..........yes ooo f u ant free data let me know

I'm currently enjoying a data that is valid till 31-12-9999 00:00. Don't know if it's an error from MTN, but 'll really be glad if it isn't, cos I'm not much of a heavy browser and data subscription monthly has really dealt a deadly blow to my pocket.

Gejpresident:
I support the motion

I use Telstra network here in Melbourne, I can tell u unlimited browsing in a month is 10k in naija naira

are you for real?

Absolutely right an right. Les kick over d stoff

I concur

if only this country was run by youths and not these pot bellied men *smh*

there would be 5G in Nigeria

Nigerians na today we gullible.
I am no economist, but how can one buy something with his money, and whoever sold it to you still exercise some form of control over it?

I believe there is a reason its described as my data not "our"

investnotspend:
I don't think I support this o , for those of us using 1k unlimited and the validity is one month , that means they would scrap us from unlimited and give us data cap be that .... Abeg make we still de enjoy am like this de go lol

Bro, there is no such thing as unlimited data in Nigeria, as far I know. if you take some time to find out, every data is capped, however big it may be. 4 example, MTN BIS is capped at 2G for both BIS (1.5k) and BBC (1k). The difference is just in number of emails you are allowed to register. Already this month, my second BBC subscription on BB finished some minutes ago.

This validity stuff is nonsense in addition to the fact that data in Naija is still very expensive.

OP pls permit me to re-post ur (sorry our) grievances to NCC twitter page. This nonsense must stop.

What I want is my 1GB to last one month . Every week I buy 1 GB from Airtel , it has not gone beyond a week since I have been loading.

[quote author=HighIQ post=37949111] In the past when GSM first came into Nigeria, the service provider used to do what we called validity period for recharge cards loaded then. For instance if you load 500 naira glo or mtn card, you must be able to use it within a certain period of time after which it would expire and become invalid. Although you would retain your credit but you won't be able to make call with it. As time goes on, this regulation was abolished. Now we want NCC to also abolish and annul the one month or days validity period imposed on Nigerians by service providers. Why should you force someone to finish what he or she had bought with his own money within a certain period of time?. They say we must finish it or it roll over. What nonsense! This totally violates human right! If you buy 1000,2000, or even 100 naira data, the data should last long until you finish it . There shouldn't be any embago or rule that should render it invalid after a certain period of time.My fellow Nigerians how do you feel about it. Should it be implemented ? lalasticlala, let them hear.

NCC is highly corrupt, they are snitch, they are goats, they have betrayed us, they don't care about us... The moment any service provider sort dem, they forget about d masses, so self centered organization.....

If this is succesful, I'll use 2 months data for a year

THIRDED!!!

willian10:
I don't think dats a nice idea cos in other developed countries like USA,UK,Canada there's always a validity period for data subscription, what I don't like here is dat the data is too expensive on Android, iPhone, PC compared to blackberry plan cos d bandwidth is actually same

You are not totally right. Blackberry uses RIM which others like android do not. Rim enables blackberry to constrict the data whereby a data that's supposed to be 250mb would automatically be reduced to 15mb by them. In android and other phones there's nothing like that so unless android is affiliated to Rim then expect no miracles

HighIQ, nice idea
please write an open letter to them or in blogs

YOU WAN DULL THEM MARKET?

donhils:
In as much as this makes sense, but then do we even have enough data to last through the validity period? unless you're on an unlimited plan which I don't know if anybody is. We should demand for more data in my opinion. I subscribe to 4.5GB but it has NEVER lasted the whole 30 days and I'm not a chronic user Cos there are other peeps that can finish it 5 days.

Too much of online streaming, YouTube viewing, movies, music and games download are what consumes your data. I use 1gb in one month, and sometimes I even have to use it to download a movie on d last day of its validity just to exhaust it.

Agreed. NCC take action and revert..

I've thought about this before too. I'm in total support.

Corruption everywhere....... Nice one , jah bless . Well seconded.

I'm in support of this..

Bukiminaj:
HighIQ, nice idea
please write an open letter to them or in blogs

Which letter is more open than Nairaland ?

The recent proposal by NLC that embezzlers of public funds should be punished by capital punishment originated here on nairaland..

If ncc try am mtn,glo and airtel go put monthly fix charge just like prepaid nepa, if it works the same should apply to monthly fix charge for prepaid nepa
