Etisalat Sim Swap: You Need A Driver's license And Above 18 to do it by bappahman: 4:50pm On Jun 20, 2017 |
I went today to swap my 7 year old sim that stopped working, the people asked me for ID nd I provided them with 2 ID cards ( A federal University ID card nd My work ID card, Also an FG agency) only to be told that they can't accept them. I need a Drivers licence ( I don't own a car) or a Voters card ( I don't Vote) or an international Passport ( me that don't own a car, where will I get Passport). so I had to leave but luckily Airtel accepts FG IDs nd doesn't require you to own a car or vote for anyone first. |

It happened to me too, i provided my school ID but they refused, i thought it was only in kaduna that they were that stupid, i was happy to read they have been losing customers |

MTN did same to me. I could have easily gone back the following with my driver's licence but I left their line for them. |

Students nd under 18s cant swap or own an Etisalat line, as they dont own a drivers license or a voters card |

All those rules are being laid Down by NCC.. Probably the staff might think u re from NCC, pretending to misplace a sim... Telcos found guilty of such will face a lot of sanctions... 3 Likes |

Some of una sef... Se as d OP jus sensationalize d mata. MTN offices have done worse... D issue isn't peculiar to jus etisalat alone.. All of dem usually require a VALID NATIONAL ID and most especially ur manner of approach. I've done a sim swap after I forgot my sim where I travelled to by providing every single detail about d line. I didn't even have d sim pack anymore. I explained to dem my predicament and asked dem to check and confirm if any of d info I have given is wrong. Some of their agents can b overzealous atimes but ur conclusion is totally illogical. And for some ppls assertion dat dey are losing customers already is simply laughable.. I'll use an etisalat 1k sub over d same 1k sub on Glo or any other network at DAT any day... |

Just heard recently, that someone from abuja went to etisalat office to swap the line of d EFCC chairman.. Cnt remember his name... D person came with a voters card... I heard so many staff have lost their jobs cos of 300 naira simswap.. The op thinks swapping a sim today is same as that of those days... Thats why no one registers Sims outside again..

bappahman:By dear friend they were right for asking for identity card. The only recognize ones was the ones asked by them your school identity can't be considered because it's easily faked |
