victorels:
Your Fashion Guide weekly subscription has been renewed and N50 deducted from your account. Your service will now expire on 11/02/2015 Enjoy!

This is what I just received now. I called the customer care and they said that all those on MTN Ipulse are to enjoy this services for 4 Months and then they the charge of 50 per week would commence. I have been using this line for over one year now. I never migrated to any other package.

The scam of MTN is becoming unbearable.

I just sent PORT to 3232 to port to glo. I heard that I have to fill a form and present my ID card to glo office to complete the porting process. I am going to do that to be free from MTN for life.

Earlier, I received a message from MTN that I am charged N0 for musicplus and was given 150mb and that it would be renewed in 7 days time at N300. I have tried all the unsubscription codes I know to no avail.

I have called their customer care numbers and it seems they blacklisted my number from getting any attention as they connect me to adverts after telling me "you have to wait for about 2 minuit" several time only to wait for minutes without any response from them.

This is the effect of telling Nigerians to become entrepreneurs without constituting a regulatory body.

Before I begin, I understand quite well that my articles may not interest everyone on nairaland but I have no blog or website, so for now I would continue to write my articles here. God would bless the Mod that would read this and push it to fp, amen. If you personally wants to get updates from me, you can follow me here on NL or join my BBM Channel C00220024.


Let's begin
https://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/phones/28482-xlarge/BlackBerry-Bold-9900-0.jpg

I'm sure we all know the Blackberry Bold 9900 also known as the Bold 5, this phone is 4 years old announced 2 may, 2011, yet the phone has refused to go into the dust like the rest of the phones released that year and has since 2 years stopped receiving any support or update of whatever, infact no phone this old does except the iPhone 4s announced october 2011, which has also not completely gone into extinction but can be rarely seen compared to the popularity in hands of the Blackberry Bold 5. The Bold 5 was also seen in the hands of a Google executive Chairman Eric Schmidt 'who can get any android phone in the world within minutes' about last year. And a phone which was once discontinued resumed mass production early last due to its high demand. So what is unique/special about the Bold 5 that people still buy it? why is this phone not dead yet? Why is it still surplus in the market? What do people get exactly from a phone this old?

1. Internet Plans
Bold 5 was one of the last models of Blackberry to support a service called 'Blackberry Internet Service' Abbreviated as BIS and was therefore the last flagship device to support it. I personally don't know how the service works but what I know is, network providers provide up to 5 times cheaper rate than the rate of buying regular data to have the service running. This means a regular user can buy a data of 200mb for up to N1000 while a bold 5 user just pay N200 for the same 200mb. The service was dropped with the launched of z10 and Blackberry 10os.

2. Price
Do you know you can purchase a very neat almost new or infact looking new Blackberry Bold 9900 for as low as N10,000? Yes Ten Thousand Naira! No other ex-flagship in the world is this cheap, not even the iphone 4s. So I would have to break my pocket (cos not so rich people don't have bank acct to break ) to get a good phone?

3. It Looks
After taking after the looks of the original Blackberry Bold, The Bold 9900 is one of the most elegant looking phones in past years and the phone still looks premium in the eyes of the onlooker, so the phones tends to report some positive class of the user, as some people with even more advanced and expensive android/windows phones (in the affordable category) thinks the Bold 5 user has some more change in his pocket, meanwhile its just because the phone looks classy and expensive.

4. Its Apps
There is a way blackberry Bold 5 and older models app works that makes it very simplified and not complex at all, and the way it also works like the apps were built into the os, making respond very fast. Also the phone app was made priority as blackberry remembered its a phone! Many people still find it hard to adjust to the new smart devices that makes call system and every app works so individually. This system was tried to be pushed into blackberry 10os but still did not work as fine as previous models.

5. Add Yours
So if you know you own or use a Blackberry Bold 5 or models in its category, tell us why you bought and still use one when there is every reason in the world to throw it in a bin.

Thaz all
Thanks

I think Reuben Abati had you in mind when he called some people collective children of anger, the good point you were trying to make was diluted with unjustifiable abusive comment like "one relic of history preserving mud hut and stating them on asset declaration form" you sound like a spoilt child or one improperly brought up. Grow up

iscom:
have you ever used a phone with a non removable battery? If yes what is your experience? I'm just curious to know why some phones are built with non removable battery. Does the phone get faulty before the battery or battery before phone? If the battery is weak or faulty and the phone is still new, then what happened to the phone? Did you manage to change the battery? How? D
