my mum bought her Sim for N22,500 while i bought my first MTN Sim for N13,500 got my second Sim 8month later for around N1000 (I should have waited oh). when i hear Sim sold for less N500 I cant help bought wonder why is was so expensive back then.

Mine cost me 27,000 naira. Bought it in 2001 though

I bought my MTN line for 45k, if only l knew it will fall this low as low as N200 l would have waited while l patronised PDP centers (Call centers)

2001-MTN- @ #23000. With one alcatel handset.

I bought mine for 14k

i got mine in a dstv bonanza, lol

bought mine in Enugu during MTN bonanza for 4k500 and my phone Samsung C100 for 18k in August 2004

MTN line 10K during a promotion in 2004 with a Motorola V3 phone wey the screen de go off sometimes.
When I told my Wife(then my girlfriend) that I have bought a phone, she was so happy but when
she saw the phone, her face just change immediately.

I bought my sim (then mtn) for N20,000. It didn't come easy as there was a super long que then at the mtn Maritime House center along Oshodi/Apapa expressway. It took over 2hrs to eventualy buy the sim. That was in the week the launched their service (I think August 2001 or so). Calls were N50 per min. I had to pay N10k for caller ID. The list recharge card then was N1500. Boy it wasn't easy. Can you imagine that today, same sim card sells for N200 or less. Those guys are mean.

Ummm Sim Cards are Free

N7500 - Glo sim, unbelevable now isn't it , to think I just got a new MTN sim for N300 bucks this month!!!

Nairaland is now something else. One can't even modify his own post to either make corrections or add further comments.

I forgot to add, I bought an Ericsson T28 phone to go with then for N45,000. Today, same phone if it can be found will probably be going for less than N1,000. Thank God for today at least everybody can afford to own a phone unlike then.
