i dey on airtel bb sub.
i topped it with 6k..which gave me 18 gig..o bobs na smile sub o.
e fast like jet.

speed na jet.
jus dat it drops mostly to edge between 5 to 10mins.
but its fast and i love it.
fhuck mtn

btw,why is there no unlimited data plan im naija.
spectranet 198 sub says its unlimited data cap.
but they admin said its capped with 100gig.

smile sub of d same amount i think 19k or so also claims to have unlimited data bundle..but recently a worker opened up to me that its capped with 100gi also.

ive not used ntel cos i no dey lag.
but i hope they 10k own sef no be 100gi
cos person like me dey burn 7gig a day.

no unlimited data plan.
all are scams
caped with 100gig
aft dat they reduce the speed to EDGE.
imagine browing on 4G with EDGE speed.

smile spectranet.mtn and the likes got no unlimited data.
we are still caged.
we need to put an end to this.
lets stop buying data.
till they reduce it to 5k for unlimited data access.
lets do it now and see if it wont work.
do not vuy data again

Is blackberry not a smartphone.?

I love my BB10 with keypad and nothing will make me stop using it even if they stop it's subscription all I will do is to change my APN to continue using it with normal data

Q10 will still work tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue
adekanmbi1986:
MTN will be stopping Blackberry services in Nigeria starting from the 27th of January 2017.


In a message sent to subscribers on Thursday, MTN said:

“Dear customer, MTN BlackBerry service will be decommissioned on 27/01/2017. Please upgrade to a smartphone and enjoy 100% bonus on any data bundle purchased.”

When contacted on this issue, MTN said: ” it means you won’t be able to subscribe to any blackberry service by that date. However, you can upgrade to a smartphone and purchase any of our data bundles.”

This notification follows Whatsapp’s announcement that it will discontinue services for Blackberries on December 31st, 2016, a deadline which was eventually extended to June 2017.

Buhari is in London enjoying his vacation.
Who is trump?
The man that lost the popular votes to Clinton and the man that was aided by the tyrant (Putin) to be president?
Many well respected people even members of his party are not attending trump inauguration even getting good musicians to play on the day was problem for his team because they turned down his offer.

Baba please enjoy yourself in UK and we will see how trump will give them Biefraud republic.

Are your comments always this hateful or did the ibo made you like that.

Thank God for Donald Trump, if not, Buhari would've been in the US now, another 1million US Dollars gone.
If Only Adenuga had used the money he is wasting on these celebs on upgrading and optimizing Glo network across all parts of the country, Mtn would have been history by now. It's a common knowledge that Glo has the poorest and slowest internet service of all the major telcos.

Op you're dumb, foolish and a big mumu.... see how you just said it like it's all blackberry phones. For your information it's only old model blackberry phones (curve2,torch,bold and so on) that have BIS, BES as subscription plans but blackberry 10 phones would have access to mtn services... do proper research before spewing trash next time I don't know why people just post anyhow

Please learn how to manage information to avoid misleading people.

MTN sent the first msg which is:

"Dear customer, MTN Blackberry service will be decommissioned on 27/01/2017. Please upgrade to a smartphone and enjoy 100% bonus on any data bundle purchased "

And explained it well by sending this 2nd msg:

"Dear customer, please note that BB service decommissioning will affect BB OS plans only(BIS,BBC). BB10 devices can still enjoy MTN data bundles. Dial *131# to buy."

Note: any BlackBerry that uses normal MTN data is not involved. It's only those old BlackBerry dat still use blackberry subscription that is affected.

Why is MTN still taking payments for BlackBerry bundles? It should have given at least 3 months notice.
