The cost is the same. The difference is that the bill is split into two in internet call

stop lying without proofs.

maureensylvia:
When someone leaves WhatsApp call and calls me with normal call, I take that person more serious

A girl once told me this and I laugh.

It's a because you want to feel valuable that a guy is spending on you. But we only spend the bonus they gave us when we recharge

The goal of a call is to talk. Not feel important

Johel:
Yes...but atimes,bad networks could frustrate via WhatsApp call... secondly some people ain't always online...Na off and on....but WhatsApp call is better imo

You talk as though poor network is the fault of Whatsapp.

Even regular phone calls are affected by poor network if you tell yourself the truth.

Safyan:
Indeed it’s very cheap but what about those who don’t even use WhatsApp most esp (people in rural area) try dey use common sense nau

There are also people in rural areas who don't have phones, does that stop you from using a phone?

There are people without food, does that stop you from eating food every day?

Some of you are really educated illiterate.

Buffalo2:
The problem is that many people switch off their data when not browsing and when you place a call to such line through WhatsApp it will still be ringing at your end thereby leaving you frustrated.

Yeah. I agree with you on this tho. Most people tend to turn off their data once they are not using it.

That's why I suggest that if you really want to make long calls then it's best you do over the internet... But for emergencies, phone calls is still a good option.

But if your partner is offline, it doesn't ring. It shows calling.

Uyi168:
hope y'all not going to use glo to make this what'sapp call

glo is good for voice calls. I use it all the time.

It's bad for video calls tho

femi4:
It is not stable .... nothing beats voice call

It is stable.

Your internet service is not stable.

Whobedatte:
WhatsApp call that will be reconnecting every few seconds ?
I hate it with passion and I don't pick WhatsApp calls too.
Trust me , people are not using the service because it's delivery is poor though cheaper .
Internet service in Nigeria is still at incipient stage compared to the rest of the world

Bros you are blaming the wrong people.

The fault is from our network providers not whatsapp. Granted nothing is perfect but 99% of reconnecting problem is most likely due to poor network reception and not the app

amnesty7:
With all their sophistication, they must go to Saudi Arabia, UAE and other Muslim countries to earn a living. Even European football is now commanded by the Arabs because of their staggering $$$!

lolz

You must think the world revolve around the football pitch

preacherz:
Oga
U don’t own a business
U have never run one
Calm down
Drink some water

I don't need to own a business to know that everything is wrong.

If the cost of production is getting low, consumers will start paying less not more.

Because the cost of production is getting high, consumers are paying more.

Sorry I didn't mean to insult you the very first time

preacherz:
This Government Bad as e Bad can hold their heads up when it comes to SMEs.
They’ve been bringing up competitive environments for their improvement.
Thumbs up

stop being stup*d

Pure water is now N200 per bag from N100.

That's 100% price increase in one week. One fvcking week!

Something that often take years to double in price took just one week. And here you are saying nonsense without any proofs

While everything op said is right, I'd say he underrate the impact of money.

Money commands respect. We've all seen it. People may hate you but once money comes in they mellow down almost immediately.

That's why with all the the hatred for the west, Islam jihadist still can't reject their dollars

We don't want. They should rather remove the price increase

All I'm saying is if you want to make long calls or gist with your lover or family member, it will make more sense to recharge them N100 to buy data and yourself N100 data.

That N200 will give you roughly 6 hours of talk time with your partner.

For phone calls, the same N200 will only give you 30 minutes at most.

And should we talk about the cost of making international phone calls?

Quality20:
whatsapp r easily and even playfully hacked even by non tech guys

the only insecurity you can find on WhatsApp is yourself.

Once you are hackable, then your whatsapp will be hackable.

PlaysNigeria:
Both parties must have an active data, hence bother parties are using equally separate data usage for the same call of your roughly calculated 50 naira/30 mins internet call which approximates the recharge call. Just that it's shared 2x 50 per min

maybe I didn't state this clearly: internet voice call of 17 minutes cost 5mb. Both parties together will spend roughly N20, with each person paying N10.

Using the lowest call rate of 11k per second on a regular phone call, the caller will spend about N112.

That's almost 90% more expensive. I hope you get the picture now sha.

That's like buying airtime of N10k for the same value of N1k.

brosom:
Not everyone have Media phones,

Especially those in rural areas.

not everyone have a phone

Especially in the rural areas.
Did that stop you from using one?

KiNg0G:
You can't compare whatsapp call with normal phone call.

The delivery is different.
The audio clearity Is different

stop lying

fergie001:
After been born @ home....you will go to the hospital or PHC for immunisation and the rest, that's where the child will be registered.

Have you seen to some villages before? Some people will never see the four walls of a clinic till they die bro.

That's how it is for most folks. The only immunization some people know about are those people walking about with bags on their arms in green shirt

I think I need to go and do one.

On a serious note, not many of us were born in the hospital.

There are still a lot of Nigerians that give birth at home, so how do you expect them to carry out 'due diligence'?

They asked questions, by law it is a crime to provide false information. The only wrong they did is charging for what is supposed to be free.

ItsGoodToBeGood:
I think it'll be more cost efficient for
everyone to switch to internet calls.



I agree with you provided you will make it available to everyone

what do you mean by I will make it available to everyone?

Nkem96:
What about those wey nor get smartphone? Make we use Bluetooth call dem?

There are also some people who don't have phone.

Not everyone will get everything every time. If we are to wait for everyone to get a phone before we start making calls, we'll probably still be waiting.

Internet calls is cheaper, if you are enabled, then make it.

the screenshot below is a call of over 5 hours costing less than N200 for both parties combined

I think it'll be more cost efficient for everyone to switch to internet calls.

They are less expensive and for the most part more stable than regular phone calls.

Internet calls of 30 minutes cost less than N50 while video calls of the same length cost less than N100.

Regular phone calls cost twice as much. For N100 you might not think much about it but instead of spending N1k you are spending N2k and instead of N10k recharge, you are spending N20k on the average.

Internet calls not only is cheaper but will solve the problem of double recharge. Nowadays we spend more to buy data. After that, we still recharge for regular airtime to use for phone calls.

Internet calls cuts that cost by almost 90%.

I think it's better if we can adopt this as a trend and use regular phone calls for emergencies.

FalseProphet1:
If this woman was an American female politician, going publicly on bikini alone would have guaranteed her a re-election.

This I have seen.

Americans are too stupid.

You'd be hearing strong woman, her body her choice everywhere

timefarm:
You are being deceptive. Is that all you said?

Lolz.

I actually told him to let go of the money and then start explaining how it'll be easier for our police force to deal with these scammers if there's proper inter-state operation in the force.

Since there's nothing like that to my knowledge, I conclude that except he can travel to that village to arrest the thief if not then it's impossible.

It's a simple statement to understand

timefarm:
My explanation to you is that the proposed solution will cost far more than 10K to save 3k

It make no sense. Except you ptopose a reasonable solution that is workable

You probably didn't read that well.

I asked him to check truecaller, then check his name on Facebook and see if he can link up with any of the scammers family members, how exactly will that cost him more in terms of money?

timefarm:
Lol
This your solution ehn.
He should do all that for 3K?

My sister lost 500K to scammers, We lodged compalint at one of the state police headquarters. We were asked to pay 20K for tracing.

Till now nothing. Country of scammers.

your 500k is his 3k

If you understand that

B

Cos anything raised to the power of zero is 1

Datboredberry:
From the comments, it's obvious many Africans care!

none so far.

If not you would have seen countless threads on it here.

No one cares

Boogyman557:
Holly Gram real matters. WTF MAN

please stop this nonsense

Godada:
Guy, no one is killing anybody.

If you are blessed with good friends, that's swell. Enjoy it.

But, generally, my friends would let me have their crib if I have to rock.

Not be a stumbling block.

are we still talking about the op and his friends or about you and your friends?

Datboredberry:
I just imagined my boyfriend painting his nails black! I think it's cute! It would look great on him...

Who cares if he paints his nails? Men can do it too!!!

And why you judging the colour black? This mentality of associating black with evil is very backwards...

It's actually my favourite colour!

like you said who cares

You guys will create a problem and when no one seems to care you suddenly say they are hating.
