Please Guys don't take it personal

The change of name will never stop until it answers NKAN

i think econet i mean vodacom, Oh sorry Celtel i mean V-mobile asin Zain they are confussed people. watch out for the next name it could be vivendi or divendi maybe davinchi

i hope they deliver superior services @ reasonable prices! (wishful tinkin') these briefcase businessmen & their tricks; i guess they'd want to get their funds back say b4 the year runs out. so zain subscribers should get ready for very high tariffs & enough dropped calls cos that's the easiest way to make money via telecoms in naija plus the fact that the regulators are not just looking the other way, they are engaged in fisticuffs!

I have said this times without number that when next econet is to be sold, all the subscribers would be sold along with the company. Hope this has been taken into consideration in arriving at the price?

I am thoroughly tired of this endless change of name. Present I combine them with MTN and actually it was my first line having acquired it just a few months after they started operations but I might have to give up the line and go for Glo.

in as much as we the self-revered subscribers can still do all being done with a gsm, NO QUALMS

Na wa oh!
From Africa to far away France . They fit take the network to Antarctica sef.

I'm of the opinion that names are mere clothes that displays the out look. This has nothing to do with the capability of the wearer's performance. Thus they can vary the names as many times as they can as far as such naming does not affect the customers.

i've suffered.

Re branding? re-naming? re-acquisition. ,  whatever it is,  i'm happy for common nija call center operators as more and more paintings will be applied to their shops and at least our streets go look brighter and brighter. [flash=200,200][/flash]

UPDATE ///// UPDATE

Sorry guys, the deal is off, at least for now. Zain announced that the deal and the plan to sell its operations in Africa is canceled as the two parties disagreed about some points. They did not said the reason of the cancelation but in all cases Zain is going to remain Zain till further notice. By the way, zain's share in Kuwaiti stocks lost about 9% of its price because of this announcement

The network sef na prostitute, lol, just hopping from one name to another, haba!!! they obviously don't give a hoot about the customers, yea right;so much 4 better service!!

zain, it's a wonderful world,
whatever the new name it's my netwok 4 life.

I think its good business. You buy, you add value and you sell. At the end, PROFIT counts.

Hoping for better services.

I`ve had my 080231, since 2001.I`ve never even had to do SIM swap,never lost ma fone.

I have never gone to any of their CS centers to logde a complaints,so i really do not care how many times they change their name as long as i keep enjoying the service provided. I dont even keep two lines.

NB,i still have my old econet liberty SIM card,

Yeah I knew it would eventually get sold. I just knew it. From Econet to Vodacom to Vmobile to Celtel to Zain and now Vivendi. I think I'll buy it next.

Hope this new guy called vivendi has free browsing for me?, one day,the history will go like this, ECONET, VODACOM, VMOBILE, CELTEL, ZAIN, VIVENDI, ENERGIEWORLD.

Everbody, never worry 'bout that.
As early as 5 o'clock 2morrow,i am going to bath for vivendi CEO called Ko.fa.zu.oh,i forgot the name at river odua for him to sell it to me as early as possible, thank god it is not wickedness but a little charm.

I think Zain Africa should learn from MTN, cos i don't suppose MTN is doing poorly in terms of turnover and profit-maximization. Maybe if they were more profitable Zain wouldn't be thinking of selling.

Econet to Vmobile to Celtel to Zain and now, The networks sucks!!!

Na wa for them oo, Thank God say I no dey use the stupid network

maybe I will be the one to buy it next

Na wa 4 dis network o, b4 2011, it would av bin sold again.

yes o! i'm already gathering my own ' core investors' to make it happen

This is the case of a rolling stone which gathers no moss.

rolling stone!

(080231-) FOR LIFE! EVEN IF THEY CHANGE THE NAME FROM 1ST ALPHABET "A" TO "Z" ALL OVER AGAIN, AM STOCK WITH THEM. 0802 is my first love gbakam! Rebranding or no rebranding na them sabi,

Zain Denies $12 Billion Deal with France's Vivendi

Wed Jul 8, 2009 11:02am EDT

­Zain has denied media reports that it has inked a deal to sell its African assets to France's Vivendi for US$12 billion - although it confirmed that talks are ongoing with various parties. The company is known to have recruited Swiss bank UBS to carry out a "strategic review" that could lead to a sale of its former Celtel division.

"We are discussing, It is a number of companies who are interested in this partnership in Africa, There is nothing specific," the firm's chief executive, Saad al-Barrak told Reuters in an interview. "Partnership means bringing in another partner from 25 percent to whatever in Africa," he said, declining to be more specific.

On the reports that a deal has been done with Vivendi, he said "There is no deal reached and we are not even at this stage," There have been previous rumours that Zain was at least in talks with Vivendi, which co-owns the French mobile network SFR - along with Vodafone.

Celtel was founded by Sudanese-born Mo Ibrahim in 1998 and sold to Kuwiat's MTC (now Zain) in April 2005 for US$3.4 billion.

they have only just denied. later they will accept.
