Mtn is a disgrace. What you are complaining of has been happening for over a year. I stopped using my main mtn data sim for midnight plan because of this.


It's a very useless network . The worst part is the 500mb midnight plan is actually 420mb. After you use 360mb, mtn will automatically disconnect your network and throttle the speed. So you will have to connect and disconnect to use the remaining 60mb.


You're totally correct. What I do now is to sub for night plan on Glo,100 Naira for 5 days.

E no go better for mtn. I used almost 30gig of mtn data monthly and I'm sure you know how much that one cost.... if not because of her signal strength in my locale, I would have dumped them ...

Exactly you just said my mind, when you subscribe to any data night or normal plans, switch off your phone and power it back

Unfortunately, their network is that strong here. I'll be using Airtel now. At least I can buy up to 1.2 gig per night.

I use midnight data wella. Get new Sims for night purposes. You won't certainly get all your 500mb download. MTN deducts 7.5% vat from data, most of you don't know

get two MTN line, one for night plan one for your normal subscription. one for your month subscription use it three months throw it away and get another one. keep the night plan one as your normal number. that's how we roll. when you have a newline they put u in mtn yafuyafu. you will have 3gig plus 5k call card on just 1k subscription

If them never dey receive sue from left, right, front and back them nor go get sense.. If them Don pay big and get multiple court cases them go change.

They came to Nigeria, saw how corrupt the country is and how the rights of the citizens don't matter and so they decided to take advantage of it like a seed planted on a fertile soil.

I'm so angry right now. As you can see, I'm creating this post in the middle of the night.

There are many negative things people say about MTN. Sincerely, I've always given them an open mind but tonight I discovered something very terrible about them

Summary:
When you subscribe for night data, MTN doesn't only deduct from your night data balance, they also deduct from your main balance.

Explanation
For long I've been using the MTN pulse plan. I buy 1.5gig weekly. But because I usually need to download tutorials from YouTube I support my data with their 500mb midnight plan.

I've always noticed that my 1.5gig doesn't last long. Within five days (sometimes three days) my data would have finished.

I spend a lot of time online but there's no way my daily usage can reach 400mb. Most of my time online is on WhatsApp, searching google for information and staying up to data with industry gists on Twitter.

This night I subscribed to the MTN night plan, then used their app to check my balance before browsing. If you use the mtn night data regularly then you know there's no way to check your balance with USSD.

Luckily for me, the MTN app shows the night balance. So I was able to monitor both my main data balance and the midnight balance.

Guess what I found?
MTN was deducting from both accounts simultaneously.
No wonder, this is the snake that has been stealing eggs from my poultry.
I was so angry that I wanted to remove the SIM but I decided to collect evidence before removing their SIM.

Below are two screenshots. I took the first before downloading a video from YouTube. The video is 48mb.

Then I took the second screenshot after the download had completed.

As you can see, MTN didn't even touch my night data again. They deducted virtually everything from my main balance.

This is so painful. I feel cheated.
I noticed this thing too...they drain simultaneously from both the night and normal data...so I only use Airtel midnight plan...when I wanna use MTN I use my other sim which has no data plan...
Then MTN developed the tactics to start wiping my airtime since there's no data to wipe...no matter how many times I cancel MTN 3kb/s it keeps resetting and draining my airtime

Exactly what they did for me. Once it reached 400mb, they started deducting from only my main data.

If you use the same sim for your normal sub and night plan mtn will not deduct the night plan,

Glo pulled similar stunt on me as well

I stopped subscribing for mtn midnight plan when I noticed (over the course of many nights) that my downloads usually stop when I reach the 180-200 mb mark.

It's bad enough that they had to slash the N25 data limit from 500mb to 250mb.

Now, they want to deny me, unofficially, 20% of my data allowance?

No way, I refuse to fund their criminality.

Play support library and google are responsible for data loss most times, they update and can update again the following minutes as long as your data is on. You can't forced stop it. sad

I really wish I could deal with them. It's becoming too much of them. Are they the only network provider?

MTN today, MTN tomorrow... They're freaking annoying.

Do you know what? Only God knows how many millions of Nigerians lose at least 100 naira worth of data every night. You can image the unethical profit they'll be making from this dubious act.

I swear, it's so unethical. they are really taking advantage of our system. they won't inform you, they will go straight to your account and deduct. I can't contain my grievance. it pains me..

MTN can be many things but this isn't one of them. I think the issue has to do with their system. Perhaps, some sort of system glitch.

I used to experience this too with my 1.5Gb monthly plan until I discovered where the problem was.

When your data connection is on and you went ahead to activate the Night plan, most times the night plan isn't active (swithed as the default plan).

All you need do is: after a successful activation of the night plan, disconeect your data and restart your phone. In the case when restart isn't desirable, a toggle on the Airplane mode will do. Wait for about 1 minute before turning on data. That's all.

This fixed it for me.
