Its interesting to see these things are just coming out here in the US. How popular are fixed wireless phones in nigeria? Is that the only mode of land lines people use?

yeah.. I like the Fixed wireless phones. It allows you to carry around your phone terminal when moving from room to room. Infact you can put it in your car when moving within the city.

I doubt if that's in Nigeria.

its in Nigeria but its not as common as it is here in the US.

The Fixed Wireless phone is becoming very popular in Nigeria. Nearly every working class or middle-income homes have it now. It came as a relief to so many people who have been trying to get NITEL landlines in the past and were frustrated by NITEL inadequacies and lack of plans.

Though the market is not yet saturated, but we have many Fixed Wireless Operators in Nigeria now, who have helped to give NITEL and GSM operators good competition. Most of them provide data services as well as voice calls.

Most Home internet users are connected to Fixed Wireless Operators, who are striving hard now to compete for the available market, wooing prospective customers with a lot of incentives like free weeknd calls to their network, free weekend internet browsing, reduced international call rates between midnight and the early hours of the day, etc.
