[b]The fastest growing telecommunication company, Etisalat Nigeria, yesterday, hits the 10 million subscriber base. Speaking in Lagos while brief the media on their newest advert campaign to chart the way forward for 2012, Chief Executive Officer of the company, Mr. Steven Evans, noted that the Etisalat brand, in the last three years, has become a premier brand. He said that was the reason it is projecting the country through its advert campaign.

While appreciating the media for its success story, Evans hinted that 10 million subscribers base is far below the target set by the company but will gradually get there.
According to him, Etisalat is poised on good quality network, innovation, focus on customers want and serving customers better than any mobile operators.
He stressed that Etisalat will continue to invest in 3.5 G network because it sees data as the next big frontier in the market. Noting that it plans to have extensive network coverage.

He disclosed the telcom company its base stations will reach 3,000 by end of 2011. Another thousand would be added in 2012 and 1,000 more before the end of 2013, he declared.
Evans stressed that coverage and quality is the philosophy adopted by Etisalat, explained, its estimated market share is between 12 – 13 per cent. He reiterated that Etisalat is about communication and has not changed its strategy and is still anchoring on quality network, innovation, delivering real value for money and listening to customers.[/b]

Though I may be included in their statistics, my Etisalat SIM has been dormant for quite a while. Why should I dash them N20 or N25 on a daily basis even when I make no calls? I prefer Airtel's strategy.

Airtel does the same by charging you N36 for the first minute, with all subsequent minutes at much cheaper rates.

I have Etisalat,Mtn and Airtel,but i use my Airtel in making calls to all networks,the other two is just dormant.I only use them in receiving calls.Airtel's call rate to all network is very very cheap.I thank them for that for adding values to peoples life and i do encourage people to subscribe to Airtel.They have made calls so cheap for the masses.MTN has no good package for the masses.I started using MTN since 2001 till date, i never see any compensation or benefit anything from them.Two months ago,I bought Airtel and i m enjoying it.kudos to Airtel.

Re: Etisalat Hits 10m Subscriber Base by honeric01(m): 6:55pm On Nov 17, 2011
I use air tel, Etisalat and mtn

air-tel for calls

Etisalat for data

and mtn for show-glass (was formerly for data until Etisalat kicked them off the chart).

Etisalat is misbehaving too, if they refuse to give me my 30% bonus i am due since September and mtn ends up waking up, i am surely going to have them relegated.

No sir. This is not a free market. These companies cannot make the kind of money in a free market. The market has too many barriers put in place by rigorous regulatory regime. This precludes open entry into markets.

Re: Etisalat Hits 10m Subscriber Base by gbogboti: 7:27pm On Nov 17, 2011
guys, for me, the best of all the networks in terms of pocket friendliness is AIRTEL. I have etisalat, mtn, glo and airtel. First minute of the day is 36box, any other minute to any network is @15box. ANOTHER SECRET is the recent CLUB 10. With Club 10, u would be given 10mb on the first 200box of any week, u can register 10 airtel numbers and call them @6box, send sms to them @1box per sms and 5box to other networks. You can call other ntwk @18box. Thats not all, u can dial *101# to migrate to club 10 to get ur 10mb which last 4 a week. And then migrate back to 2good(*446#) to call @15box after first minute of d day for 36box. No migration charges. If u want more details kall 141.

Re: Etisalat Hits 10m Subscriber Base by asudan: 8:48pm On Nov 17, 2011
It is a welcome development at least other network now know that consumers remains the king.Those against d N25 daily access fee,should know that other network offer similar charges apart from Glo infinito package.MTN 1st min cal for funlink reloaded and super save is N34.80/min or 58k/sec subsequent calls to mtn numbers 17k/sec or N10.20(super saver) 15k/sec or N9/min(funlink reloaded peak period ) other network 35k/sec or N21/min while airtel is N36/min or 60k/sec for 1st min whl subsequent min is 20k/sec to any network.Glo on the other hand charge 25k/sec or N15/min to any network with no access fee or 1st min cal @ 58k or 60k as being charged by respective network.ETISALAT keep it up after all you guys started the war must finish it.

You claim to use airtel, yet you don't know their charges.
