They are also stealing credit.
You can't use their opera mini bundle to do anything, yet they are still selling it.
Their night bundle is a scam, once it reaches 50mb you can't use it again.
Now I don't even know if the Government have a share in the data bundle that i subscribe.
you said it all.

You guys have been using the wrong data plan.
Subscribe to the 6GB for 1,500 weekly plan and watch your data problem disappear completely or reduce to the barest minimum



you nailed it bro, this is what i use all the time and sometime it last me for a full week despite watching heavy youtube videos at least 3.5hours everyday

all of you here don't know what you are doing
I have never,I repeat never had my data finishing quickly on any network in Nigeria
I monitor my data,don't use too much apps turn on data saver and many many things
I recently subscribed to 50 naira for 200mb on mtn and it lasted me 3 days,it supposed to last longer self if not that I used it to download
I do night plan, download anime music's games pics update apps
so it's u people that are always complaining
I've never had any data issue with any network in Nigeria
it's you people that don't know how to use your data
there are also many people like me on nairaland

Lol 200 mb in 3 whole days? Guy you funny die...

Re: I've Been Scammed By MTN Nigeria by dustmalik: 10:52pm On Feb 02, 2021
The problem I see here is IGNORANCE. Most people simply don't know how to monitor or check what is consuming their data.

I don't know about other Networks, but MTN doesn't fraudulently deplete data.

MTN data package of 2015 is totally different from the current ones. Back then,data zapping as some persons call it was perculiar to Airtel but now, MTN Nigeria has joined the train.

No mind them, I've been using MTN for years and my data usage always corresponds to what I have left, I've never experienced any kind of zapping abi na so MTN like me reach. My data speed monitor is always on to check when there's an abnormal data usage and my YouTube cancer is set to 144p by default.
Some people don't even know how to reduce resolution on YouTube, they watch long Nigerian movies at 1080p and then come here to talk nonsense. For those tethering to PC, there's usually a service "svchost" that goes rogue sometimes and drains a lot data, so before you complain again, make sure you have have monitored your data properly.

U can't compare the android phones now with the kinds of phones and applications of 2015.
Even opening a page on a chrome browser can set u back up to 5mb.For a single page!
Imagine when u go through a number of pages just to do your work or browse.
Generally almost all networks data run out quickly on Android or iPhones,unless the blackberries or phones of years back.

Presently the infinix hot 4 I gave to my relation still consume more data like other android phones. Most of the apps weren't updated. Our service providers should explain better especially MTN

Install a data manager app to monitor your usage and all these complaints will stop
