I will advise you to join Etisalat, if they mistakenly overcharge you they will compensate you reasonably both for data and calls.
My 1gb data for last month was to expire on the 1st of May but I didn't know because I don't normally put it in mind believing that they will notify some days before its expiration but unfortunately they didn't and on that day they wiped off my 250mb.
I called their customer care and they promised to get back to me.
At exactly 12 hours later they refunded me with 500 naira worth of airtime to call all network and some series of sms to apologise. Infact, I was more than impress I never knew a telecom company can do that in Nigeria. Honestly, Etisalat rocks.

I subscribed to the new MTN Data plan of 2,000 naira for 3.5gig yesterday. I'm on the Bettertalk plan which gives me triple of every recharge so I got 4,000 naira bonus upon recharge.

I did the subscription while still having the bonus intact. Now according to a Customer Care representative when I enquired sometime ago, I was told that if you subscribe to any data plan on Bettertalk, before your data starts getting deducted they would start deducting from the bonus airtime for any internet-related activity. That is however true from my previous data subscription with MTN when I used to do the 4.5 gig for 2,500 Naira.

For the past 20 hours I have made calls and used the Internet all of which were charged from my 4,000 nara bonus airtime.

Late into the evening, I checked my data balance and I had my full 3.5gig intact and I saw another 700mb for night plan. I disregarded that as system error and went about my own normal business.

I used the Internet for a while and about three hours later, I wanted to see if they had started deducting from my data and Lo! I saw I had 615mb left.

I didn't download. In fact I made sure I didn't download because I wanted to ensure I used a substantial amount of the airtime to make calls.

How on earth did I spend 2.9 gig in three hours?

I called Customer Care and they were quoting some nonsensical thousands of kilobytes that I used.

My phone is telling me otherwise. No matter the difference in the data usage calculations, it shouldn't be that much. Screenshot attached.

This is a huge inconvenience from MTN. 2,000 Naira might be meagre but this is unacceptable.

This is not my first time of subscribing on this phone for different data plans. Why is this different? I am not going to accept this.

Thank You.

I have received calls and emails from them and they told me to calm down that there's a glitch in their system.

I am hoping they'll do a rectification soon.

Thank you Sir.

I don't believe this one bit. Am not holding forth for MTN but recheck what you subscribed for. Based on their advert I saw today (with Falz the bad guy) they called it Pulse reloaded. So if you not on MTN pulse....magical things could happen. Can we have a screen shot of when you subscribed? The 3gig for 2k would last for 30 days. Why is yours expiring July 2016? No vex oh but let's just properly scrutinize you. Cheers

Re: The Untrustworthiness Of MTN - The New Data Plans by Sammyblaq(m): 12:24pm On May 17, 2016
I've heard, tested and believed. There is no good network(MTN,glo,Etisalat,Airtel) in this country.
To God; they keep robbing Peter to pay Paul.

I've experienced a whole lot of shit... I no wan reason MTN sef. They rolled out a promo, recharge 1k and get #3875 + 315MB for 14days. A minute call na almost 100h.
Etisalat, I browsed just on a page and 250MB went down.
Glo, I had about 2gig on my line but no network to browse.
Airtel, As the network dey fast na so en go finish.
Everybody gat a story to tell... if u no get. One day dey go bite u.

My own case pass MB issue... Am been charged on services I didn't opt in for. 30363,30803 wan kill me on glo.

All the network cases na "weta isi bia were isi"

pet4ril:
but etisalat calls is too expensive. Or is there anything I can do to make it cheaper? They charge me #25 per minute angry i really want to abandon my mtn line for just receiving of calls

migrate to Etisalat Easylife 4.0 Limited Edition from your current plan, simply dial the code *420*1# @11K/Sec (N6.60K/min) for a daily access fee of N5 which is only triggered at your first call of the day – meaning that without you making any call in a day, the N5 access fee will not be charged.

I left airtel because they increase their tariff fron 11k/sec to 15k/sec

I am not regretting it
