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.

I think I will like to say what you know is what you know , that is what am using and even using to stream live matches . bless ....good day

IamRespected:
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

Bros if you know no you know be that , no de argue joor that what I use

@OP you fit write open letter too or petition to PMB na...
make you use 1k subscription for 1 year.. see ya head

The data doesn't even last.I subscribed Glo 24gb for 8k August 26th and it finished September 9th.

Smh

this ju don miss road

Kennydoc:


Well, I'll still end up buying 1gb in the new month, so what's d need?
I understand your point sha. It makes more sense anyway.

You'll have more data to use. That's the need.

MikelEleta:
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

Forget dat theory, what about the glo 3gb bis subscription, it's dsame amount of data u ll use Android(imei tweaked) n bb
Why is it dat d data isn't more than 3gb too on bb since the data is compressed

Am sure you don't understand what am saying or explaining. Am not talking about the quantity of data but the amount applications consume in each phone. Go and ask technology savvy people and they would explain that theory better to you OR better still consult goggle and you would be convinced beyond reasonable doubt about what am saying

Stop posting nonsense all over this thread. whatever you think you know, some of us knew it way before you did. These things aren't legit. stop bragging all over this thread.

Ododo Oro

I support u all some of this thing cant b try in south africa no to talk of togo

It will never happen. It's a use it or lose it type of deal. Yes if you Re subscribe its rolls over but they will never and in reality should not remove validity periods for data.

Even your credit has a validity period, it's just a little relaxed.

All these shall pass,its just a matter of time.

Lol dem non ban u?

Ban me? For saying the truth?

I SECOND

HighIQ:
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.

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..

@OP.. don't engage in a fight that you will surely loose. Data Subscriptions has categories, if not that some of us are greedy why not subscribe the one you can finish within the validity period. Those companies are out there to make profit under the harsh business conditions in Nigeria. Instead, your fight should be to have more data volume at a lesser price.

You talk well. I belived same rule should be applicable to the so-called Dstv as they do in other African countries like Senegal.

I would rather advocate for the return of nitel with full landline and fiber optic broadband internet. That would employ tens of thousands and give nigerians cheap quality internet in the true sense, such that a person could pay 5000 naira and enjoy a full month of uninterrupted internet connection to do with as he wish. If you like download a million movies, the data will never finish until its time to pay the bill again at the end of the month. Now thats what we need in naija

I want assure every one that, with the new leadership on NCC under professor Danbatta this issue is going receive all the. Necessary attention it deserves.

Your surname bah ?

Buhari should have started his probes from NCC for the sake of the youths. I don't think he cares because he doesn't browse the internet.

I want you to know that, with the current EVC/CEO. In person of professor Danbatta, Mr president has nothing to fear. The man is another anti corruption ceaser.

The 2 shares must be from either MTN, Etisalat, Airtel or Glo staff.

NnamdiN:
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.

True

sigmundfreud:
I think we should broadcast this idea till they do something about it!

But did you?

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

On BlackBerry, your browsing uploads n downloads are compressed before it hits your phone while the Android comes directly with the size of whatever page/site you open.
