It's a norm in telecommunication to recycle lines, reason is that telecoms are paying for dormant lines to federal government.... It is mandatory that you don't keep your line dormant for more than 3months,else it will be recycled...Truth be told there is nothing like new or virgin lines in the system of telecomms..Every line you bought now has been used by someone else before you.. No Telecommunication company is producing new line, it's all a recycled lines.. If you know that you don't want your line recycled you have to activate what MTN call KMN(keep my number) it comes in 3category with charges(1year,2years and 3years)... If you encounter such ugly incident, just know it's not your fault neither it's the company...it's the fault of the former not to retrieve the line before ot was reassigned back to the system Tell your bro to go to the telecommunication company of the line and know if the line was actually registered by him or by someone else..If it was registered by him, then there is no problem..If it's by someone else i suggest he ask for reregistration of the line to be primarily assigned to him as the bonfide owner of the line|In cases where lines are not registered by the owner is advisable you don't go further using it for your personal documentation... NB:I work with MTN� |

Also, after my younger brother travelled to Canada, Mtn resold his line. Guess what?.... The new owner started recharging his line from my brother’s account. He was buying N10k credit. Sometimes N5k. My brother got several email alerts and later removed the line from his account.....[/quote] How will your brother keep on linking the number he is not using again to his bank account? He should have changed it na! |

By the time the Trump administration had placed travel restrictions on Europe, the importation of the virus and the community spread of the disease had already started in New York City, according to the report. Testing was limited at the start of the epidemic in New York City, which allowed people with undetected cases to spread the virus. Trump has repeatedly pointed to his travel bans as evidence that his administration has effectively responded to the pandemic, claiming as recently as Tuesday that "we saved millions, potentially millions of lives. |

Bankowner:i've used a sim card for four years during my school days. After my graduation, i lost my phone and had to buy a new one which has one sim slot. So, i decided to keep the other sim only to realize a year later that my sim was blocked but used by someone else when i got another phone that have two sim slots. When i dialed my own former airtel line, an Hausa man picked. I had to report it to NCC who did nothing about it. It was really painful. |

Does anyone have an email of any top Zenith bank exec? I'm drafting a mail on ATM fraud carried out on my salary account whose ATM card has neither been used nor the account registered on any online platform. I'm escalating to CBN. |

Shuzzi: Could be the family withdrawing with her atm card. My friend died in 2015 and the next year her sim was assigned to someone else, the day I called and the guy picked I was shocked, had to tell him it was my dead friend's sim, he quickly discarded it. |

Quintuple: If you wanna recharge the line that’s linked to your account via your bank, you don’t need a pin..... Eg: Polaris bank is *833*amount#..... the credit recharge will just enter your main line.... You don’t need a password..... Other banks have their codes too..... That’s a flaw in the system..... |
