JideSM:mtn us totally fuvked up and they keep scamming us. 1gb never last a day and the weekly subs I do are shit. The midnight bundle isn't cool too and looking at Ghana , why do they have more choices to pick from and we are limited to 500mb in Nigeria? Switching back to Airtel soon |

Same izh here too, once they send that annoying "you have 450Mb left", I can't use the remaining 50Mb to download, except I use it to surf. |

One other thing about the night plan is that when you subscribe for say 250mb night plan, on using 150mb, they send you a message that your exhausted your data.....they've done that to me lots of times that am even used to it. |
Re: Why You Should Stop Using MTN Midnight Data by mozele(m): 5:11pm On Jun 17, 2020 |
GeoAfrikana: I was also experiencing the same fate until I switched to buying SME data instead. The data consumption reduced to the barest minimum. Although at times when my night plan reaches 50mb+, it switches over to the main data. I'd have to switch off my data and switch it back on again. That's the only way it works for me. Although I heard SIM cards and Browsing platforms varies. |

When I saw this post I knew the problem because I was faced with it too. Please don't blame all on MTN. Did you know that MTN is the fastest network provider. I get why they where deducting from your main account data balance. It happened to me once and I didn't complain. I simply restarted my phone and it seemed to go back to normal. But I'll strongly advise you to use Airtel for midnight data bundle because it'sunlimited unlike the MTN max of 500MB. The only caveat is that you won't be able to see your data balance on Airtel. As I was saying, the reason you spent up to 400MB is because 1. Google Play Store and some of your apps consume a massive amount of data at the background. I was surprised when I checked my data usage. I'll advise you to restrict background data ONLY if your downloading movies from Opera and other non Google apps. 2. When you load apps and data in them it consumes data generally. Example, previews before you download a video, Opera news, streaming and etc. Just check your background apps o! Peace. Hope to see your response! GeoAfrikana: |

It's a pitiful situation with data in Nigeria. You can't trust these networks, especially, MTN and Airtel to be fair. Wherever you find one of their services manageable, there's always some other area where they're being dubious or fraudulent, and given that they hardly respond responsibly to complaints, there's little one can do about it other than find a way, by oneself around their fraudulent practices. If you've not noticed, Nigerians can shout from now till tomorrow and these networks won't do a thing about it. And the NCC that is supposed to regulate their activities is so dormant and useless to save subscribers from all these fraudulent practices by these networks. The best option is to resort to self help There are a couple of personal actions you can take to avoid falling victim going forward. 1. You can get another MTN SIM card that you'll dedicate just for Night browsing. You can either add it as a second SIM or just switch the SIMs at Night if the 2nd SIM spot is already occupied 2. A 2nd option is that you can go for the Airtel trybe night plan, if you already have an Airtel SIM (or get one, if you don't already have). Dial *312# for the Airtel Trybe plan and follow the prompt to switch to Trybe. To subscribe just dial *312# also and follow the prompt to get 250MB for N25. They don't seem to have an option to subscribe once for 500MB but you can subscribe again after you exhaust the 1st 250MB to make it 500MB. The good thing about Airtel night plan is that the plan only expires after 24hrs i.e. if you subscribe by e.g. 2am, and could not finish the data before 5am, the remaining data would still be available from 12am the next night until 2am or when you finally exhaust it: whichever comes first. Unlike MTN, Airtel doesn't simultaneously deduct your data if you have a normal data plan and also subscribe for a night plan; they automatically suspend your main data plan until you exhaust your night subscription. The downside to Airtel is that their network service can disappoint, if you're not in a favourable location Whichever option you choose to go for, I'll advice you get a smaller phone, or some other device, with hotspot capacity and put the night data SIM there permanently, and you simply turn it on at Night whenever you need to do night browsing, turn off your cellular data and browse via WiFi, that way you don't have to be opening your main phone to switch SIM cards every time you need to do night browsing. I hope this helps Best of Luck! |

Re: Why You Should Stop Using MTN Midnight Data by GeoAfrikana(m): 9:24pm On Jun 17, 2020 |
JBRichard: Firstly, I don't think this excuse is valid. And that's for four reasons; - MTN isn't the only network provider offering midnight data. So why are they the only ones people are complaining about. - They're a tech company. It's standard procedure to always test a system before deploying. I'm sure they won't take it easy with any consultant that gives them such excuse. - I'm quite sure that this isn't the first time anyone is complaining about this particular issue. Why haven't they resolved it? They're enjoying their loot. - they're supposed to include in every message before subscription that you must reset your network else you risk losing your main data. As for the background data. I don't think that's valid also. 500mb is very small. I didn't spend 1hour using the 500mb. What kind of background app consumes up to 100mb in one hour. Note that my normal data was on till midnight so it's not that my apps had been data-starved. Thanks for your reply. 1 Like |
