Do you have to repeat Toba's post to make your point?

Tope4all:

The calculation for the cheapest network today in Nigeria goes like this:
Based on #100 air time
Etisalat = 100-20 = 80.
80/15 = 5.3 min on all Ntwk

Airtel 100-36 = 64 +1min
64/12 = 6.3min on all Ntwk

MTN 100-30 = 70+ 1min
70/15 = 5.6mins on MTN Ntwk alone

GLO 100/15 = 6.7mins on All Ntwrk

Based on this, Glo is the best and closely follwed by AIrtel, then Etisalat.

As at today, the cheapest network for me is MTN! Surprised? I will prove it.

My wife and I live in different cities and I call her at least 20mins everyday, which is N240 @ N12 per min.

Now, with her number as my magic number, I call her for FREE 24/7 and guess what? Its FREE when she calls me too. And I also call five local numbers (4 MTN) and 1 intl at N12 per min. This has cut my phone bill by almost 60%!!!

However, I get to pay N250 monthly, but its still a great offer cos Etisalat's N20 x 30 days = N600 monthly. Airtel's extra N24 x 30days = N720  monthly.

Therefore MTN works for me!!!

I'm too used to my MTN to migrate to any other network no matter the inducement.

Why don't u calculate it like this.

@ per second billing, how much will it cost u to make a 15mins call on each gsm network.

Glo: 25k/sec x 15mins = N225

Airtel: 20k/sec x 14min + 60k/sec x 1min = N204

Mtn: 25k/sec x 14min + 50k/sec x 1min = N240

Etisalat: 25k/sec x 15min + N20 daily rental = N245

AIRTEL is the cheapest. . . . Remember a lot of us are on per second billing

dis calculation is wrong on d part of mtn cos wen they charge u 50kobo per second on the 1st call, it changes to 20kobo from the second minute making it N12 a minute after the N30 for the first minute so if u re-calculate u will be using 70/12 +1min= 6.8mins on a N100 basis which is about the best figure from all the above calculation. so 4now mtn.

For the internet, MTN does unlimited download package as cheap as N15k for 30 days at a speed of 256kbps which can be connected up to 15 computers at the same time. I have not said its the cheapest internet package buy that is what I use and I have not seen a better package as long as price and unlimited downloads are concerned

WackyJ1:

Unlimited, i thought it was 3gb

JUO:

how can u connect 15 systems to use 256kbs? you must be greedy.
so you are expecting one person to browse with 17kbs.
divide 256 by 10 systems it give you 25kbs then divide by 15 systems it will give you 17kbs. wetin you wan use that speed open? you are more wicked than mtn

This calculation is utter disorder. the first minute on both MTN and Airtel cannot be treated as access charge.

For Airtel - First Minute is N36.00 while subsequent calls are charged at N12. Thus the access charge is 36 - 12 which is N18. anyone calling longer than 5 minutes a day has no business using any line other than Airtel.

For 6 minutes
Etisalat costs N20 + (15 x 6 mins) 72 = N92.00
Airtel - N18 + (12 x 6) 72                  =  N90.00
MTN - N15 + (15 x 6) N90                  = N102.00
GLO - N15 x 6                                    = N90.00

Basis -
MTN - First Min is 50k a second which is N30.00 a minute
         subsequent calls @ 25k a second is N15/min. Access charge is 30 - 15 which is  N15.00  

Airtel - First Min 60k /sec which is 36.00
           Further calls @20k/sec is N12.00/min ; Access charge is N36-12 which is N18.00

       
It is a matter of choice really but simple law of economics tells us to mitigate our losses. It isnt all the time that people generate money with phone calls. Indeed, people see it as a mark of affluence when they engage in endless calls in public. Arrant nonsense!

From the foregoing, as you step beyond 6 minutes a day, your best deal is Airtel. Flashers can remain on their preferred networks but businessmen who are on prepaid platforms should think Airtel.

lm not calling for a debate on this but as I am a telecom prostitute. I go on any network that gives me lowest rates, there is no reason for undue his sentimentalism. By the time a regular user sums up his tel expenses in a month, you will realise you can buy a good TM Lewin/ Hawes & Curtis shirt.

The thread here is worrisome as it depicts bad financial planning.

My one cent.
