I've saved more than N100k from Internet subscription since when I started using Airtel BIS. I think it's time to switch back to my normal *111# on MTN N3,500.

Lets ASUU-lize the protest. Let all fone users go on indefinite strike. One month strike should make these people come back to their senses.
Re: Protest Against Airtel's Plan To Stop BIS On Android by crackhouse(m): 7:17pm On Dec 01, 2013
I bought my Airtel for browsing only but as time went on I started using it for calls too and I spent up to 3k on it every month for browsing only and more than 2k on calls. I have not received the message though, but if it's for real, then I am gonna dump my Airtel and I mean it. I do a lot of academic research online and I can't afford to be spending 6-9k monthly so I am gonna look for an alternative.

Go to dia facebook page and u wll see how users r reacting against such decision. I wonder y sum people r here praising them. Airtel was nowhere nd can neva b anywhere if nt 4 their bis whch we all android, iphone, pc, etc users patronised. Today they r reckoned among naija netwrk as d ntwrk wit d highest bis user. Dis is just because of us o(non-bb users). Now dat we hv raised them to a height, they wants to let us down. They shud try it nd see wat happen nxt. See how everybody is angry on their facebook page. Too bad

I saw dis post on Facebook
A friend of mine from airtel said it was not in
their
intention to stop it. as a matter of fact they were
happy because in the past month, their Internet
revenue has exceeded every other telecom
company
in Nigeria due to their wider 3g coverage.
Etisalat and and MTN filled a petition against
them
for unfair competition so they were given until
next
year to stop the service.... I guess its not
Airtel's wish 2 stop d service buh God go punish
MTN & Etisalat 4 dis

your just a broke bittered dude that ain't got money to buy a good trending gadget. you stuck with an old device an old operating system. If you must use a blackberry, you should use the ones running OS 10 then we can talk about data.

Re: Protest Against Airtel's Plan To Stop BIS On Android by Nobody: 2:34am On Dec 02, 2013
[b]Damn, Airtel Network is very crappy! i had to wait till midnight to post this.

If i were to protest against Airtel, it will be directed towards their Slow & Unstable Network, Etisalat's edge service is more faster than Airtel's 3g service, No Exaggeration.

I think what people should be protesting against is the high price of data plans from our ISP not against Airtel's cancellation of BIS on other devices.
BIS was created for Blackberry users, you can't compare the data usage of a blackberry device to that of android, Blackberry Smartphone uses data compression tech, therefore their data plans are meant to be more cheaper than that of other Smartphones. The only right way around this is to get a Blackberry device.

Airtel and Android user know this, but yet they still continued with the erroneous service.
So either you praise Airtel for doing what other Networks didn't want to, or blame them for not finishing what they started, but expecting to use BIS on another smartphone other than a blackberry is inappropriate.

Therefore the protest should be directed towards the high price of normal data plans, cause whether we like it or not, BIS is & will always be meant for blackberry devices ONLY.

Fellow NL'ers, if we indeed want to protest and see changes, Let's direct our Time, Energy and Focus towards something that is appropriate and achievable. Not towards something that isn't meant for us.

Airtel BIS service has been running on other devices for over two years now, and they've been aware of it ever since, and they know it's inappropriate, as it should be used on BBs only, but then, they were generating more revenue and gaining new subscribers. They got their major boom this year, thanks to cheaper android phones at our disposal.

Now tell me why they would want to stop something that brings them so much revenue? There is definitely pressure from some quarters.

To those saying Airtel has not been appreciative of the BIS users bla bla bla, remember they sent you a message to inform you that the service would be stopped. To me, that's a way of showing appreciation.
