Most Nigerians pay more attention to the big bosses Mtn or Glo or even Etisalat but never really look towards Airtel, thinking that airtel chops the most money not knowing that it's the cheapest and most cost efficient network in Nigeria. Do you know that airtel has monthly bundles for almost any app?
Whatsapp-*948#-N100
Bbm-*440*22#-N300
Opera mini-*885*1#-N300
The 128mb for N730
What more would any1 need
Then yesterday I just realized that with N200 you could get all these from the WTF(whatsapp facebook and twitter) bundle with Bbm inclusive and opera mini not included!
Trust me this network would make you love your phone even more! I'm using an iPhone 5s and because of these bundles my parents are telling me I should leave my phone at home when I'm going to xool cause I'm seriously addicted to it cheesy

No. Most Nigerians pay no attention to Airtel because they have - by far - the crappiest network in Nigeria, disgracefully even inferior to newer entrants like Glo and Etisalat.
Slow speeds, unreliable network, spotty coverage are just some of the issues bedeviling Airtel.

I ported from Airtel to Etisalat last year after being an Airtel subscriber since 2003. One of the best decisions i've ever made cheesy

The airtel of yesterday is surely not the same today....I never really experienced low network coverage even tho presently I'm in one remote village I still get 3G with 3 bars i don't know about any other network but I know airtel has 4G in at least most of the sohth west states I've been to it's not about how big or famous the network is it's about what you get from them
Mtn is just a load of crap
Glo dosent have interesting bundles
And no offence but Etisalat is just damn boring!

Where Airtel wan tif 4G The best you can get from any telcom operator for now is 3.75G. The most likely network to have 4G in the nearest future is Glo.

You no know say some phones like Samsung and HTC classify them phones under 2G and 4G

That doesn't count. You have a skin on your iPhone. It's most likely just replacing the 3.5G icon with '4G'.

Either that or it's reporting HSDPA as 4G like T-mobile used to do

It all boils down to your location. For me here in yola the network is OK and I enjoy their 2gb for 1k android bundle. Mind your it's legitimate you don't have to cheat or something
