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

So, u mean if i download a 250mb file with a blackberry device, it ll be automatically compressed to 15mb Tell me something bro

That's not what I mean. What happens is this. A data that is originally 250mb is compressed by Rim and appears as 15mb when Blackberry users want to download that file BUT in android it appears as the original 250mb that's why files are always bigger in android and data gets finished on time. For example whatsapp is only 6mb in blackberry but far greater in android. That's what happens

I strongly support this course. It is a total violation of the consumer rights of hardworking and innocent users of the mobile internet. The Consumer Protection Council (CPC) should do the needful. Thanks @ Op and other Nairalanders

see bad business,nigerians will manage bb subscription for one year

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

bros I stand confidently to tell u that there is no unlimited data in any network, if u doubt buy any supposed unlimited, download movies on mobilemovies.net, download like 20 if that supposed unlimited no finish lemme know what cause am
Anyway Op this is a very good idea, even for heavy data users like me they will make more sef

you are making sense. I think we should bombard NCC with this. personally, I will get their e mail contact .

Which network?

I'm fully in support o f this one... this is stealing

Even the sim validation exercise should be stop with immediate effect.

I MOTION THE SUPPORT
NCC ACT should also be reviewed so that they can regulate the prices charged by Telecom service providers.

That time limit idea goes against all known laws of humanity. It must either be infinte within the time limit or there is no time limit at all.

@OP, dead on arrival. I stand to be corrected, but I'm not aware of ANY COUNTRY with unlimited validity for data subscription.

What I believe would make more sense is cheaper data.

You are too correct sir...why should they be forcing us to consume data? Why not add the data back when one subscribes again? Do they now dump in expired data inside the trucks of PSP or what?

Then your apps are gulping your data in the background. I've been using large screen phones since 2012. I've used HTC Desire, then Tecno Phantom and now Infinix Hot Note Pro.
Go to "Settings" in your phone, select "Data Usage" and for each of the apps there, Click on "Restrict Background Data". Do that for the apps that consume your data the most. Also don't check apps like WhatsApp or Facebook app. If you do that, u won't receive notifications again except when you're online.
I also have a feeling that playstore automatically updates ur apps regularly. That's also one of the things that consume people's data a lot. You should also check Playstore.
Do these basic things and see ur 1gb data last you a whole month.
I'm sure you'll come and thank me later.

Why do I want to restrict background apps? So that I won't be getting my prompt notifications? Hell to the No. I normally check that background of a thing, All my apps normally take 2mb, 3mb,5, 6mb max and I don't think that's big enough. I think this background data eating up mb is a little exaggerated[it doesn't take as much data as ppl say].
As for play store, let me burst your balls cos the pic below shows how my settings has been ever since.

My people i have listened patiently to all your complaints, i must say we have a lot of patriots here but the sad truth is that ncc like many other parastatals dont give a rats ass about us. You may email them, complaint in their facebook page, twitter page or even confront Eugene juwah (their executive vice chairman) face to face and still nothing will happen. Most ncc execs and a lot of govt officials enjoy special sim with unlimited call and data access! Unless a no nonsense ICT minister is appointed before change can be effected just like the way nnpc is seeing a new lease of life, with FIRS and customs to follow soon.

One thousand unlimited? Which network? Can it work for my blackberry? Kind outline the procedures.

It's okay. I was only surprised and at the same time concerned why your 4.5gb data barely lasts you for a month, while I comfortably use 1gb in a month, even with change.
No probs. Just use your data as it suits you best.

Good idea. Am going to share dis on my Facebook page

That is the crap we suffer in this country. i am in total support. i think ncc appears to be a crap of an organization.

quinnboy:
in Bosnia we don't have validity date for data....was so surprise they do shit here in 9ja.

So we all should run to Bosnia now?

Our network providers are so dubious. If an embargo is placed on validity period, then a data plan for a month might be used for just two weeks

infact thirded

3rded!
