Gues thiss d point where we contact d Mtn rogues for clarification bru. I wondered myself why they won't reveal that bit...

asuustrike2009:

what's the rates?

MTN had a package about 2 months ago,I don't know if it's still on but it worked for me back then. With 1 Naira,you get 200 national minutes and 100 international minutes for a month.

I think the code was
*567*1#...please I'm not sure if it still works though...

searchiing4love:
Don't use Nairaland for illegal acts, e.g scams, plagiarism, hacking, gay meetings, incitement, promoting Biafra.

So you even know the rules,yet you choose to flout them,even creating multiple monikers...


I hope that ban comes very soon...NL would be less depressing with you out of it...

Your husband was definitely roaming if you called him on his MTN line while in the US. When you use your device outside of your local country, you are roaming. All the Naija carriers have roaming automatically. Definitely expensive to make/receive calls while roaming. The best option is for him to pick up an AT&T or Tmobile sim here and any of the stores walmart, bestbuy radioshack, etc. He can also get a chep phone+sim package for about $15 - $20. Then he can call Naija at ok rates or use a dial around service such as rebtel to call naija for about 5 us cents. Or he can just get a data plan on the US sim and use whatsapp etc to call.

Read this on how to make cheapest call both locally and internationally and thank me later. You and your hubby will be able to talk for hours at minimum rate http://highteknology.com/2015/10/how-to-make-cheapest-calls-locally-and.html
