Nigerian Networks And Their Annoying Texts/calls by Sanchez01: 5:06pm On Sep 21, 2014 |
I'm sure I am not the only one experiencing this terrible dilemma; however, mine is simply out of this world, or so I believe. Nigerian telecommunication companies are by far the most insensitive, annoying and rules flouting individuals ever! My special cases with MTN and GLO is simply out of this world. My first experience started with Glo who automatically subscribed me to some annoying so-called love tips with the '4040'. I called the Customer Care several times to complain, particularly when my airtime are deducted for some reasons. Despite my placed calls to the Customer Care, I thought my dilemma would come to end until I was told that they (Customer Care) don't have the 'power' to unsubscribe my number from the '4040' database. I calmly accepted my fate while #90 was deducted from my airtime monthly. After a year and half, I called the Customer Care and threatened to sue Glo for deducting my airtime with their devilish schemes, and all of a sudden, they miraculously found the answer to unsubscribe my number from the airtime sapping scheme. A month after, MTN came with theirs, they would send 7 messages per day to my phone 'recommending' I subscribe to their amazing health and relationship tips, which I ignored. After several weeks of enduring their torture, I decided to call their Customer Care to make my plight known. I ended up talking to a slob of an agent who asked what if I wanted my number removed from their third parties' database, to which I said yes. As of today, I get nothing less than fifteen messages daily on my MTN phone and five on my Glo phone coupled with dozens of calls from the Glo network. All efforts to put an end to this dilemma have proven abortive. I need advice from people; perhaps thy have agents on the forum that could help me through this. 112 Likes 8 Shares |

@Sanchez01, your case with mtn is what we called double potion of annointing. By the way, this mtn of a thing nearly made me to lose an important sms, because all I do each time is to delete their "yeye" sms. It's so annoying. 31 Likes 3 Shares |

By the way, this mtn of a thing nearly made me to lose an important sms, because all I do each time is to delete their "yeye" sms. It's so annoying.I did in my case. I lost many detailed texts which are now lost for life. Annoyingly, Glo just devised a means, they have been calling my phone repeatedly with a typical Glo number and you would fall for the number, believing it's your normal phone calls. It's as if my privacy has been sold to third parties. 16 Likes 1 Share |

They used real number to call me then I put it to blacklist, they used another one I did thesame thing, up to about 10 nos. 14 Likes |
