MTN Nigeria Grossed N700 Million Loss Due To Server Breakdown by BrandSpurNG: 1:39pm On Jun 17, 2019
MTN Nigeria server crash on Saturday, a regular source stated this may have cost the telecommunication company an estimated loss of N700 million within two hours.

It was also claimed that the newly listed company on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) contacted the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to review cybercrime which developed N50,000 deduction for 128GB from customers whose phone numbers are linked to their account numbers.

Another source said that several MTN customers’ lines who obtained free data via *131*7*5*1*1# were blocked for 24 hours as the company continued to restore its flunked data network.

This is totally wrong if true. Is it not better to wipe out the data rather than tampering with monies in people's accounts which may not even belong to the erring customers? If you can locate the lines that stole the data, wipe out the data and leave their bank accounts alone. If you can't, count your losses and move on. I doubt if banks will comply with this kind of directive though.

I think the fee will apply to people that have used the data already, while the ones that still have it, it should be removed

Better don't mess with people's bank accounts just because your server had a glitch and they utilized the glitch.

These network service providers have been robbing us by providing data at ridiculous prices and still zapping our data on top of it. If u think I'm wrong, buy 1GB of data right now n use it till it gets exhausted then check your phone's data monitoring app to see. It doesn't go anywhere near 1042MB, no matter the network whether MTN, Airtel, Etisalat or GLO.

So tell me why people won't utilize glitches n cheats?
If they mess with the bank account of anyone I know, I'll definitely get myself n my legal team involved.

If at all they were to blame anyone, it's their ICT team.

They won't try it. When they are not mad...lol

Moreso, no one enjoyed service as it was blocked (No one finished the 3 months 200 gigabyte data as it was blocked within hours), so you can't charge me for service I did not enjoy.

I didn't try it o and I'm not having the data on my phone. But they have no right at all to punish their customers for their server breakdown. Their loss
