Very terrible experience. I started using my number since mid 2005. Along the line, calls meant for a married business man was coming through my line. -from a driver telling me his trailer load of goods got bad along Ore high way. -many customer want to speak with oga. -many of them want to speak with their uncle. .one of his relative challenging me to return the phone to the owner. -the wife shouting @ me to give phone to her husband (I was dumbfounded ) -his daughter crying asking me to pity her & give the phone to her dad as she is in a difficult situation (this case made me cry) so many cases too numerous to mention, I was forced to call MTN customer to verify how many people using the same number & they insist I am the sole owner. I can't just change a number I have been using for over a decade 4 Likes |

I get calls from people speaking hausa language randomly and even when you politely tell them it's a wrong number ,they keep calling and insisting it isn't . Other calls using different names , it's annoying at times . 1 Like |

Whao!! I thought it was only me that experienced this. Several times an aboki will call and before you say jack, he says Salam Alekun and God knows what he says again. When I say wrong no, he will call again. This was like this for almost a week before I decided to block him off. So pathetic. Many afterwards from several people. |
