my dear friend, I'm far from being a cc agent. Dat was 4 yrs ago. I'm sure you learnt something sha. lol!!

arrogance? Naaaàaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! !! Just being factual. Did nt you read that I said this affects me on a way too? learn to be pragmatic and not hypothetical. if you do something, it doesn't mean others are doing same. didnt you do gst 102? I laughed when I saw a thread telling ppl to switch off their phones. This would only make data network faster.

Sorry to use this allegory. is a thief deservedly meant to be dissatisfied when the house owner secures his house? these bb plans on other devices were never formal and happened due to a network glitch.

know this fact: there are more bb subscribers on actual bb than there are on other devices.

As I said before, move on! !
CCA or no Cca,woteva level u r or post u r holding , whu kiaz....
Lik u said ..move on.

shady16: @ Kayswag100, any ideas what the A2 account is for?

free on net sms. You usually get it now upon recharge of ñ100 and above. It is a promo.

divide value you have there by 5 and you'd get exact number of sms you have

U all should better port to MTN because it is blazing fast since have been using it 12hours ago.. Op is telling us to subscribe for 200mb for 1 thousand naira is a boko haram.. The same airtel that operate in India ususally give out 50 gig data cap for 2000naira equivalent here since they know hackers are many... Can the op himself subscribe pay 1k for 200mb ? Nonsense !! Rip my airtel sim

MTN is still better because they have 2,500 naira package for 4.5gig .. This data split into 1.5 gig to be use during the day and the remaining data cap is to be use from mon to friday ( 9pm - 6am ))) and 24 hours during the weekend i.e from friday 9pm - 6am monday morning... Useless airtel network

thanks! !

for now, I know of no plans by airtel to create cheaper plans for non bb users.

The question is: Will this ban actually take effect from tomorrow? Let's wait and see. At least airtel had the good will to inform customers before hand; unlike mtn that pulled the plug on unsuspecting customers. ..

Op made claims that a lot of people use airtel bis on bb. Well, I beg to differ based on logical reasoning. Why on earth will I pay 1.500 for 2 gig when other networks gives me more than 2gig for 1k on BB. Secondly, why in my sane mind would I subscribe to a network that flunctuates and not reliable when compared to the others? Your bogus survey just doesn't add up! The only reason people managed your line was because of this 2gig offer on non bb devices. ANY SANE HUMAN BIENG WOULD GO FOR OTHER NEtWORKs wHEN USING A BB, PERIOD.

at worst, why not give us 1g @N1000?
I think dts fair enuf if BB users are having 3g at same amt.
and we have regulatory body in this country o. I don't blame them, when their Oga at d top can't find solutn to a 5-mth old strike, how would they know that students need this for research n project.
what value does our govt really place on education? ?

@kayswag100, reading your post and the various comments. I will say I appreciate the fact you step up to clear the air on this issue. But please next time when approaching people that you know are not comfortable with a particular situation be more gentle and polite.
No matter how powerful a man is, pride is not good. Even God is not proud.
Even though I am using a blackberry and not affected, I will still apply caution when replying to such tread because they paid for the service.

Deblow: I hate this guy's guts! He talked as if he owned Nigeria! Sheer arrogance and loads of disrespect to those whose monies pay your salary! Any fault of urs? Nay! We have an insensitive government in this country so, network providers like Airtel and others can choose to hold subscribers in servitude. If not, this charlatan in the garb of a lousy customer care agent wouldn't have come here to insult the sensibilities of multitudes of subscribers just because he can speak some grammar. He bluffed too much for my liking! U claimed u did ur survey or whatever before coming out with this obnoxious transfer and u concluded it wasn't going to have any negative effects on ur subscriber base! How naive and be clouded ur sense of reasoning are! You tried, albeit in an infantile fashion, to compare ur moribund Airtel to MTN that has remained so stable and has stood the test of time. Recall how many times Airtel had been sold over each time with a change of name and yet it's still struggling to survive? I don't and won't ever use Airtel sim for anything. For ur information, the worst MTN signal is better than the best Airtel signal and so it is all over the country. A yoruba adage will say "A nroju j'eko obun, obun tun nda eko e kere" meaning we are forcing ourselves to eat the pap made by a dirty woman, yet, she makes it expensive! If truly u are a CCA, then you are a bad one and a good example of how not to be a CCA. Pple like u will bring misfortune to the organisations u represent because u don't know how to appeal to the sensibilities of subscribers who indirectly put food on ur table. If Airtel is sold again, you are doomed!

My thoughts, exactly, thank you for articulating it so well!

The OP is an arrogant, uncouth S.O.B. Why the folk would ever think he/she could ever be a communicator, beats me. And the bloke did not even address the key issue: Why would Airtel want to suddenly and conveniently move their BB service out of class 10?

What IS Airtel hiding?

SMH.

Bro read well. @OP only claimed there are more BB users on Airtel BB plans compared to Non BB users on the same plan.

I can understand why people are aggrieved, but it was a long standing revenue leak identified by Airtel Fraud/RA dept a while back. All other networks have specific plans for BB which is separate from normal data plans. Etisalat blocked theirs i think in september without even giving any heads-up because they knew it was a network vulnerability.

you guys should not be angry @OP(except for his seeming patronizing tone) because he doesnt personalize "AIRTEL", direct your grievances @ the Operator themselves. I dont personally think in terms of tarrif, any Operator is Better @ d moment!
