I can see Starcomms is trying to take advantage on those who aren't logical or mathematicians. Imagine you paying half of the so called tariff plan to get only the brand new modem.This means you'll still pay for subscription which makes the whole issue that of theft.

For instance,

1) If you want a 24hr all month package swap, you are to pay 11.25k for the modem and then pay 16k for the 24hr plan.this means you'll be paying 27.25k for the 24hr service plan and then loosing your old modem whereas buying a brand new 24hr plan is 22.5k

2) If you want a 100hr package swap, you are to pay 6.5k for the modem and then pay another 6.5k for the 100hr plan.This means you'll be paying 13k for the 100hr service plan and then loosing your old modem whereas buying a brand new 100hrs plan is 13k without dropping any modem


ETC


So what are they preaching then?

Starcomms is, no doubt, making life easier for many people in the country through the company’s products and value-added services. Many Nigerians, we heard, now depend on the company to be part of the GSM craze in the country. The subscribers, who desire seamless and fast Internet services, it was learnt, can now swap their old Internet modems for new ones on the Starcomms network. Under the current plan, the company said its customers will be allowed to buy the new Starcomms izap modem for half of its price as long as they return the old gadgets to the company.
