say what you know. I use airtel, they are the worst. I think a mass protest is better in order to stop this problem. I rep benin city incase anyone is willing to join me in the protest because am tired of this network providers

jacabi: Sanchez01: 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.
It was airtel that tried that nonsense with me. 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.

Haha hahahahaha

Ekii: I once worked in one of these networks. These things happen only because someone in the marketing department has got to meet his target before the year runs out. Sadly,its done at the expense of the masses but then the ogas are happy because they are seeing the returns. All these product launching you see everywhere didn't come without the networks spending money and so,they would make sure the returns are very high even if its a product or service destined to fail.

Ever wonder why you call customer care,he or she promises to help you deactivate instantly or to escalate to the back office but you never see any change? It isn't because he or she did not but because, an sms pack that rakes in billions from millions of subscribers cannot simply be deactivated except under stronger pressure which should have been NCC's job. The ccr can only do that which he has been empowered to do but that which he can't do is escalated. The more you deactivate,the more the marketers who come out with these services and packages automatically subscribe you to another pack. He has promised in his proposals that such pack would bring in let's say 30million in 1year,you think say na just like that he go meet him target? No. He does so by forcefully deducting weekly and monthly cash from subscribers. Imagine how much would have been made at the end of the year. He would even surpass his target.

Unless NCC does something,all complaint falls on deaf ears and they can't be bothered.

Is that you?

Bball is the only clue I am going to give away...

Nigerians must bear it. The officials of the regulating body have sold our privacy to these networks. Useless people.

MTN forcefully registered me for business day news headline, deducting 50 naira per day I nearly went mad and called customer care and the lady said the problem will be fixed within 24 hours but it went on for months.....

Etisalat is the worst of them all. Imagine getting 2 SMSs for everytime you check your balance. that's just lame!
airtel and their useless call from one funny number is epic!

I don't subscribe to anything because the unsubscribing part doesn't want.

My ring back tune is thw classic "ring ring"! Anyone that feels like listening to Dorobucci should go and buy the album biko!!!

It's not true as ncc onced step in but operators says that those in charge of value added service via 3rd parties will loose business or may travel to other countries if stopped.
