Airtel Cuts Off Opera Mini by Mynd44: 7:55pm On Aug 31, 2012
Like the topic reads, customers using Opera mini can no longer surf the internet with that browser for reason known to them. This hit me in the face this evening as I wanted to log into NL from my phone but my Opera was not connecting. I thought it was a network error but discovered that my other applications were working fine. I pulled out my sim card and inserted my MTN and the opera worked.
Pissed, I called their customer service and was told that I can not browse with Opera as long as I was on Airtel's network as they have cut it off.
Is anyone else experiencing this or is it just me?

Hope they dont block the use of opera mini. It wil alienate most users of their internet bundles. It may be network problem.

It seems like I am lying. Try calling Airtel and asking them if their network is compatible with opera
Re: Airtel Cuts Off Opera Mini by engkorede(m): 11:04pm On Aug 31, 2012
Seems Its applicable to the bsm stuffs.. Opera not working on a friend's phone over here too and Its also airtel..
Re: Airtel Cuts Off Opera Mini by NEROSKY(m): 11:06pm On Aug 31, 2012
I was very worried that i can't surf D net wif Opera on my phone, so i had to use p.c
thank God i came across this,
so they cut opera so we can easily finish our MB's and GB's
they should refund me my money if no opera for phone browsing, cuz no Opera no browsing wif phone..
MTN has done their worst now is Airtel ( is like you people want lose the customer you don't have ? )
am using MTN now for using sake, No recharge , just call my family and friend when crucial( cuz is my popular line )
then what should we do now ? , browse with normal browser which don't load all page? AM tired of 9ja , what is the work of NCC ?

I don't think it's fair for someone to just label another as a 'liar' without proper investigation and research into the issue at hand. What the OP said is right. My opera mini has refused to connect via my airtel network since 7pm but my other applications and phone web is working normal. Am presently sending this via Opera Mini but from an MTN line. Thanks.

Out of the 4 operating networks in Nigeria , look for the network that has 3G in ur area/Vicinity. Cuz browsing on Edge and Gprs on P.C Sucks!!!
then buy the moderm and start surfing the net, for me, my mtn moderm is using all the 4 sim cards so you can break ur sim if it's not broken, so yu can use all D networks, like me and odas { i can help wif dat i.e if interested ] Am currntly using Aitel for now!!! buh D fasts is Etisalat i.e in full service!!! hope is helpful.
