Kobojunkie:im not complaining where i work, depending on ur level, every member of staff have fone subsidy ranging from 25-50k monthly if u spend more than what is allowed for u, the balance is deducted at the end of the month. so it works for me perfectly |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by Sauron1: 5:27pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
Kobojunkie: I pay 50GBP on ma BB every month(750 anytime minutes to any network and unlimited texts). But i burn about an average of 3000 minutes every month so i get charged after the 750th minute - do the math!!! tkb417: Complain ke? U get charged for what you used. . . . .How can i complain when i know i have been reckless with ma calls. |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by Kobojunkie: 5:27pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
tkb417:So, you are not speaking of personal calls or calls related to your personal business? That is different then. |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by dayokanu(m): 5:29pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
It's the world we live in. I do unlimited calls, texts and IM for $70 a month and I use Tmobile not cricket or US Cellular I pay 50GBP on ma BB every month(750 anytime minutes to any network and unlimited texts). Then you are a disgrace to anyone who ever taught you economics, maths or Logic. Have you asked your phone company how much unlimited minutes go for? |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by tkb417(m): 5:30pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
Kobojunkie:personal calls for 40k never!!! who am i calling? except when i call ma gf abroad and now,we have devised another means BB chat most of ma calls are official calls; i use BB chats and YIM a lot on the fone except when the call is very important, i dont make unnecessary persoanl calls |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by Kobojunkie: 5:32pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
~Sauron~: Well, if you have the money to spend, it is ok I guess. |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by Sauron1: 5:33pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
dayokanu: Unlimited calls to where? It would probably be on the same network. . . . .I FIRE all networks(even the ones in HELL) as long as it's under 750 minutes.
Unlimited minutes? No phone company does that in the UK. . . . .Unlimited gini? U would prolly get unlimited minutes to the same network but most Naija peops are on T-mobile here(I use Vodafone) so it won't worth me while getting ma arse pinged on Vodafone when 80% of ma friends are on T-mobile. Na you suppose use your thinking faculty very well. . . . . |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by Kobojunkie: 5:33pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
dayokanu:Cricket is great for the CTA . . . and $20 bucks cheaper dayokanu: Lol |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by Kobojunkie: 5:35pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
~Sauron~: It is unlimited to any phone line out there in the US for me. Even Better I have VONAGE and planning on getting the mobile for unlimited everywhere including 60 countries around the world(UK included) |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by Sauron1: 5:36pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
Kobojunkie: Things are CHEAPER in America then. . . . . I dunno any phone company in the whole of UK that does unlimited calls to any network. . . . . They will fold up within 3 months. . . . . |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by dayokanu(m): 5:37pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
Unlimited calls to any network in the US, Unlimited within same network is given, everyone has that. Cricket is great for the CTA . . . and $20 bucks cheaper But for cricket cost, you shouldnt expect any quality |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by Kobojunkie: 5:40pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
dayokanu: Actually, the quality is no different from that you get from say TMObile or sprint. Matter of fact, I am able to use my Cricket Underground while most others like TMobile, Sprint and Some US Cellular can't. Only think I don't like about cricket is roaming, but since I rarely have to go out of town on assigment it works fine. |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by dayokanu(m): 5:41pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
See Below verizon webite advertising unlimited calls to any network for $70 plus text is additional $20 and verizon is reputed to be the most expensive in the US http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/splash/plansingleline.jsp?lid=//global//plans//individual Things are CHEAPER in America then. . . . . They are just ripping people off, Any smart coy that does it first kills the market and sweep all profit. How much do these phone coys spend on Network and all that? They are just greedy |

Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by funkybaby(f): 5:44pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
@sauron If that's what you pay every month, you are being robbed. Tmobile offers unlimited minutes to ANY Uk network for £35 monthly on bb 9700 bold 2. |

Only think I don't like about cricket is roaming, but since I rarely have to go out of town on assigment it works fine. There is a difference. You mean cricket works in trains underground? Do they have masts in the subways? When on the red line, Once I get to Fullerton, I lose service till we come back on the surface at Cermak-Chinatown |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by tkb417(m): 5:45pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
anyone tries unlimited access in 9ja, the coy will go bankrupt |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by dayokanu(m): 5:46pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
@sauron When I said you are a disgrace to your teachers you dey argue. For the same UK o. When you are supposed to be doing research and get Value for money you dey romance section setting your dick on auto-self-service |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by Sauron1: 5:48pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
funkybaby: T-mobile are rogues. . . . That 35 GBP excludes BB(e-mail service) and it excludes the BB Messenger which you guys pay for. . . . I have all those included in ma vodafone pack and ma contract is just 12 months. . . . .I am sure yours is like 48 months. [/quote]dayokanu: You are the bigger disgrace for leaping without taking a look. . . . . That 35 pounds/month comes with various add-ons. . . .ridiculous ones. Hang up after 1 hr, no BB(email service), no BB messenger. . . .calls after 6 pm. I don't dig such constraints. . . . .I wanna call anyone at anytime on any network. . . . . |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by Kobojunkie: 5:49pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
dayokanu: Yeah!! I have used my cricket phone underground on the blueline, red line and even the orange line(not sure the last one goes underground) and no problems, except the train noise itself. It works and for only $50 a month. |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by Kobojunkie: 5:50pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
tkb417: I disagree with that. I believe such a company will not only take over the market but run high profits. The Technology has been out there for not less than 15 years now, it is now less expensive to run and maintain. What you are getting today is simply companies giving you SO SO SO MUCH LESS than what you can get all so they can charge you so much more and make buck loads of money off of you while they do. Haven't you ever made free phone calls over VOIP or Skype? Do you think those free calls brought SKype to it's knees? NO, it actually helped SKYPE get to where it is today. |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by funkybaby(f): 5:55pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
dayokanu: Na my sauron you dey yab so? |

That 35 pounds/month comes with various add-ons. . . .ridiculous ones. Hang up after 1 hr, no BB(email service), no BB messenger. . . .calls after 6 pm. I don't dig such constraints. . . . .I wanna call anyone at anytime on any network. . . . Even with the additional add ons No way would it add up to 200 GBP a month Funky baby, Abeg I dont believ Sharon even with all the Blackberry access, with email and Messenger, you can get a good deal |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by Sauron1: 6:00pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
funkybaby: U dey mind am? He's high on Kpoli I just checked T-mobile. . . . . The deal for 30GBP on BB 9700 is 300 minutes, 300 texts. . . . .So what are you on about? Show me this magic deal of yours, abeg. I want to make Dayo look like a simpleton than he is. dayokanu: U are not 100% illiterate. Go on the net and search fone companies(T-mobile, Orange, Vodafone, O2, etc) and show me any of em offering unlimited minutes to ANY network. I will give you $1000 if you find one. |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by funkybaby(f): 6:08pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
Sauron. Am not kidding. It's exists. Call them on 150. Or visit tmobile shop. It comes with unlimited blackberry email and contract length is between 18-24 months. It's subject to a credit check though on whoever needs it. So if your rating is messed up, you won't get it. |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by Sauron1: 6:11pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
funkybaby: 18-24 months X 35 GBP is more than 12 months X 50 GBP. For the next 2 years, you will continue to pay AT LEAST 35 GBP every month. . . . .so what makes you think i am paying more? So why isn't this on their site? U sure say this isn't Lebara network? |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by funkybaby(f): 6:18pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
@sauron You end up paying more cos once you use up your monthly allowance of minutes, you get billed. I dunno why it's not on their website oh. But believe me, it exists. Lol @ Lebara. |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by Sauron1: 6:22pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
funkybaby: I will ask around. . . . . . Are you sure this deal is not ANYTIME minutes on ANY NETWORK for EVENING calls(7pm - 7am)? |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by Kobojunkie: 6:23pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
~Sauron~: [size=13pt]AAARRRGGHHH . . . . ROFLMAO!![/size] |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by dayokanu(m): 6:25pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
18-24 months X 35 GBP is more than 12 months X 50 GBP. You said you pay 50GBP as base and if you use 3000mins like you claimed that 2250 overage, How much is the overage? multiply it by 2250 if overage is 10 pence per mins that mins 225 GBP on overage . That pays about 6months phone bills using funkybabys plan. That means any month you use 3000 mins on your plan you pay about 275 GBP Pennywise Pound foolish |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by Sauron1: 6:30pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
dayokanu: You are a mumu. . . . . Different networks charge different rates and there are premium numbers included as well(0845, 0844, 0870, 0871, etc). I use those wella to pay bills or when i wanna make a quick international call. . . .
I still dunno anyone as foolish as you when arguing. . . . . Things don't work here like it works in Chicago. . . . . Funkybaby's claim is pure FANTASY. There's no network in the whole of Europe that would offer UNLIMITED minutes to ANY network @ ANYTIME. . . . . She's probably talking about the UNLIMITED minutes/any network/EVENING calls. . . . . |
Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by funkybaby(f): 6:32pm On Jun 21, 2010 |
@sauron. It's unlimited. Any network. Any time. |
