Airtel Android 1+1 Promo. A Scam Or A Nightmare? by Fashola4thSon: 5:38am On Oct 14, 2014 |
I spent|recharged N3500 on my airtel Line and dialed the code for 9gb and it is not working. The responds I got was "The Android 1+1 Promo can only be used Once" while I have not used it before. I called their CC and they started to suggest alternative plan to me? Even when I am eligible for the offer!! Does that means they were not prepared before breaking this news? Do they really want to scam people's money? What is the duty of NCC? I have report this case like 3 times to Airtel rep yet none of them gave me meaningful reasons? Is this how companies defraud people with lies in the name of promo? |

donmarvex: I still have the 3500 intact but the code is nowhere working. I have called and called. These people (many other companies ) are taking Nigerians for a fool. How can a reputable companies talking about error when we have announced a new package? Why not get everything ready before launching? This is just unbelievable. People should be careful before getting trapped like me. Instead, they are now asking me to choose another package. Imagine such scam? |

Fashola4thSon: Bros calm down. Your 3,500 naira is still intact, right? Why are you screaming scam here and there? What if the zapped your dough and no 9gb? What will you call that? Be thankful that your money is still intact and adhere to their suggestion of trying another plan. Next time if you want to try a new advertised plan, start from little. And bros, you are not trapped. You still have your money to do whatever you want. 1 Like |

@OP, I think you were supposed to check for your eligibility for the Android data 1+1 data plan in the first place before loading your line. Check by dialing *437*1# for the 4GB plan and *438*1# for the 9GB plan. The plan isn't for every one. I'm not even eligible. It's only for "white-listed" numbers. Whatever that means. I will soon be porting to the MTN network. |

I checked and I even called and they confirmed my eligibility and gave me a go ahead order to subscribe!! azpekuliar:I checked and I even called and they confirmed my eligibility and gave me a go ahead order to subscribe!! |

Fashola4thSon: Dictionary.com defines scam as a confidence game or other fraudulent scheme, especially for making a quick profit; swindle. Fraud: deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage. Swindle: to cheat (a person, business, etc.) out of money or other assets. My point is: Your money is still with you. So Airtel never scammed, defrauded or swindled you. 2 Likes |

timbros:Fine i agree with you it's not directly a scam but in a case the airtel line is strictly for data no calls nothing more, what do you expect him to use the #3500 for? Isn't that complete waste of money? |

kene05: There are other plans he can subscribe to. The normal Airtel BIS still works on other devices. BTW I'm not rooting for Airtel. Don't get me wrong o. I found out that any 1+1 offer from them equals 1+1 data zapping. So I run from anything 1+1 from Airtel or I just make up my mind not to complain on their charging strategy. What I just want OP to understand is that in his case, Airtel didn't scam him. |

asuustrike1: The problem with people like you. Paid users. Instead of saying the truth, you end up deceiving yourself. Do I complain of making calls. What did internet get to do with calls. Get off the thread if u have nothing reasonable to say. |
