The MTN MiFi device is actually now N5,000 though I hear it's only a promo price. Grab yours now while stocks last.

They have bumped it to #10,000, bundled with 20gb.

ColeworldMD:
how can I check it?

It's written on the back of your iPhone.

ColeworldMD:
im sure iPhone 5s supports band 7. I just don't know why it's such a big deal to connect

A1530 and A1457 are the only variants of iPhone 5s that support band 7. Which one do you own?

pheesayor:
Unlimited subscription will be their only edge, the day others start unlimited that is not too expensive will be the day NTEL dies

You are right. They need to have flexible plans. It's not everyone that needs unlimited. On the long run, they'll lose out completely if they continue with those 3 data plans only.

OBAGADAFFI:
Lol,

You don't need to do *#*#info#*#* to enjoy ETISALAT LTE.

You even need to change you son card.

That why I said NTEL might Lose the LTE battle.

Like i told you in the past, your lack of understanding of how these things work is your problem.

ntel, just like Smile and Spectranet, is a 4G LTE Only network. That is, it doesn't support any other network type like 3G or 2G. That is why you may have to force it on LTE Only mode. Same applies to Smile too, and most likely Spectranet also. I've never used Spectranet, so i wouldn't know for sure. But that's how Smile works too on phone.

You claimed ntel doesn't work on Htc One M8, but i have personally used it on both htc one m8 and m9, so obviously, you are the one doing something wrong.

Indeed, these are epic finishing. He deserves worse even.

sugarboiz:
please does spectranet mifi support band 28?

Yes, the Huawei E5573s-606 from Spectranet does.

Horlaarsco:
Yes and huawei e5372

Well, that's the problem. E5372 doesn't support LTE band 28.

AroOkigbo:
No.
That was actually the next question I'd planned to pose to you.

From what i understand, it's practically impossible to unlock those Qualcomm Mifis. Only Smile and Franklin, who is the OEM of the Mifi can help unlock it. You may have to write Franklin.

vanbonattel:
In the Zaria that is in USA.

Stop saying rubbish. Electricity is very stable in most parts of Kaduna. That doesn't mean it's the same everywhere.

JohnieWalker:
here in Zaria we have like light 18 out of 24 hiurs

It's same in most of Abuja. Though it's quite terrible in some other places, like Minna, bida, and my hometown, Okene.

ColeworldMD:
if u're in Abuja I can hook u up with someone that sells

Yeah, i am.

ColeworldMD:
totally agree with you! I guess that's why I get reception even though I was told there's no 4G in my area.
Oh no I don't have any for sale but you check  OLX but make sure u trade face to face

Alright, I will.

Dam5reey:
I was coming from GlO... From last experience i dont trust them again... The 1k for 3.2 GB was just 2GB eventually.... With terrible speed..

Thats good... Seems the E5573s - 606 will be a better choice...
I got the MTN E5573s -320 unlocked...

Exactly. That's the one i intend to get.

frebor:
320

okay. I was hoping for a 606.

shedy03:
the 5G data MTN gave you, is it 3G data or 4G LTE data?

On mtn, there is nothing like 4G or 3G data. All their plans work across board.

Dam5reey:
Works at Ikeja .... The speed was not that cool 10Mbps

I got 50+ Mbps at Abule Egba even with 3 bars.....

Seriously its like you're downloading...

Indeed the experience is different... Now Nigeria has the real 3.75G..... ..

Since i moved in to my new place in Wuse Zone 2, Abuja, i stopped subscribing to mtn data due to bad coverage problem. But when i found out they had deployed LTE, I've since swapped my sim for an lte enabled one. Though 4G coverage is still terrible, i get one to two bars in my house, but mostly one bar. Even at that, it's been very fast. Trust me, the days of slow, frustrating net connection has come to an end.

I'm still trying to get a compatible mifi for Glo LTE, so as to see how it performs.

Dam5reey:
MTN still maintain high speed got the MIFI 4G see the speed...
I just wasted 500mb

Speed tests do consume a whole lot of data. By the way, what's your location?

shedy03:
I got this message from MTN.

They know there is strong competition now, and so they have devised better strategy at getting ahead.

Take, for instance, their 4G mifi. MTN is selling its Huawei E5573s mifi at #10,000 naira, but Glo and Spectranet are both selling theirs at #25,000 naira. But people are expected to always patronize ingenious companies at the detriment of their pocket, especially in these hard times. That is stupid.

MTN is also running a promo that allows its customers to get 100% bonus of their data bundle when they subscribe on a new device, or a device that the bonus hasn't been awarded, for six months.

Horlaarsco:
Which APN pls cos on my Mifi self its no service

Have you swapped your sim for a 4G one? What is your location? Which mifi device are you using?

frebor:
A number of people showing interest, but not ready to make a commitment. One single unit remains for the lucky buyer

Which of the Huawei e5573s-*** variant is that? I mean, complete the asterisks.

lexrichy:
alcatel Pop 4 plus, full bar

Cool. It seems you have a cell site near you.

AroOkigbo:
How much is the Glo 4G Mifi?
Any follow come data bonus?

Can the 4G SIM be used on Smile Mifi device?

Glo 4G mifi, according to its website, is 25k, and comes with 60gb valid for 30 days.

I doubt Smile mifi supports band 28. By the way, have you been able to unlock your Smile mifi?

lexrichy:
i got 44mpbs here in benin.

Using which device and how many signal bars?

ColeworldMD, the problem with MTN LTE is that it's deployed in most places using band 7 (2600), and band 7 doesn't travel far and has low in-building penetration. It's mostly in Lagos where Visaphone-MTN LTE was tested that you would find the presence of band 20(800). Band 20, on the other hand, travels far and penetrates walls better. But even at that, I've been quite impressed with MTN LTE, even though the reception is nothing to write home about in my location.

Now Glo, on the other hand, uses band 28(700), which travels even farther and has way better in-building penetration, albeit uncommon in most LTE Devices.

By the way, do you have a Huawei E5573s-606 for sale, or you know anyone who wants to sell theirs, or anywhere i can get it for a reasonable price?

tumababa:
Yes i used it on an iphone 6plus. Speed test was 35mbps download but upload didnt finish before data expired. I had about 50mb left then. Etisalat too was ok but glo speed was better. Attached pix shows all

Nice one.

tumababa:
You have to be on ios 10.0.2 to get glo 4g on those iphones

I understand Apple integrates LTE networks with OS updates on iPhones. But have you personally used Glo 4G LTE on your iPhone? if so, how is the experience so far?
