Etisalat And The Great Rip-offs. by MalcolmXng: 10:55pm On Jan 03, 2014
At about 8.35 PM, 8.54 PM & 9.11 PM Nigerian time on 3rd January, 2014, I loaded N300 card (100×3) on Etisalat network. On each occasion I received the following notification:

DEAR CUSTOMER YOU RECHARGED 100.00 & YOU HAVE BEEN REWARDED WITH 50.00. THANKS FOR USING ETISALAT.

At the end of it all I checked my bal. and it reads:

MAIN BAL: 100.00; MAIN 5: 150.00

I tried reloading the cards only to be told they've been used. This is unbelievable!!

I now call on Etisalat to return my money. Imagine how many billions they'll be
raking in on a national scale from innocent and hardworking patriots. I know I am not alone. Share your experience, and don't stop at that; tell us also what should be done (legally) to stop this menace to society.

Etisalat and others on this rip-off must be forced to compensate and stop this daylight robberies.

I am telling you these people are crooks and you're doubting. What type of proof do you want? OK this morning my account is reading -

MAIN BAL. N0.00; MAIN5, N150.00

The plan I tried enrolling few days back was the weekly Opera Mini Lifestyle but some message came that I wasn't successful.


Even if l was successful, the WEEKLY RATE for that plan is N100, with Linda Ikeji blog, Nairaland, and Bellanaija as FREE sites. PAYG rates apply outside these.


Having spent 95% of my browsing time on NL yesternight, my questions are:


1. Were I even on Opera Mini Lifestyle, where is the bal. of N200 since the WEEKLY RATE for that plan is N100?
2. Is it possible for my MAIN5 (reward) acc. to have read N150 if I hadn't recharged N300, (i.e. N50 bonus for each N100 recharge)?
3. Apart from PAYG, is it possible to be be on a 'pre-existing' plan without one's subscription?

If u have a prove, talk to a lawyer .if they are really at fault, they will either apologise and or compensate u because the bad publicity is there. Julius Agwu sued them some weeks ago for some kind of breach too. Cheers.

Thanks exxcell, runzlord, Babalegba, Babacele, and lordnammy.
I've called CC and they said l was on DAILY N100 10MB bundle which is renewed automatically, everyday. I've also asked for the deactivation code and have opted-out. Hoping they'll do that cos the response I got was - 'it's being processed'.
Thanks once more and God bless.
