crackjoor:
is there anything like 4G sim?

In fact, there is. The current Sims on Etisalat, Glo and Mtn are not 4GLTE sims. Service providers do issue special Sims that are capable of LTE.

Op, you have not provided any evidence that El-rufai and Co wrote any letter to the US. You are just being mischievous. I read the publication from the link you posted and there was no mention of any written letter to the US government. Stop lying in order to justify Fayose's stupidity.

lalasticlala, Obinoscopy, Seun, Mynd44, I expect you guys to go through the publication before making any decision. You will find no evidence to the claims of the OP. The OP is a liar.

Kudos to the NA. Surely, this kind of news would be very disappointing to the wailers.

God bless Buratai

God bless PMB

God bless Nigeria

lalasticlala, food is over done.

gwales:
he won't send anything to kafanchan and if you feel angry u can climb kufena mountain and jump

damn, you are really angry today.

El-rufai would make the best president Nigeria has ever had.

The wailers hate this kind of news

Good analysis.

paulGrundy:
Someone should please explain to me, the link between shell forcados platform and power supply.

Gas supply through pipelines.

LAGATA:
@malik, what part of town are you? Do u know Glo office in wuse 2? Ntel office is on Aminu Kano crescent very close to ecobank, zenith, or rather do u know this Noun centre @ wuse 2? U can buzz me on whatsup 08034654459 so I can give you a better description

Thanks. I now know where it is.

LAGATA:
Hi all, was @ their office here in Abuja @ Aminu Kano crescent wuse 2 but was told to come back Monday morning. I just tire for those people. I have tried reserving a number for the past two weeks but their network really seems confused.

princefaculty:
The sim is as good as fuel scarcity here in Abuja, tried all I could to get mine in the course of the week at their office but to no avail as the claim the sims are being expected from to come in from their Lagos office. Hopefully this coming week

Where exactly is their office in Wuse 2? Could you guys post the full address?

Horlaarsco:
they can't I bought smile sim didn't work on my 3G phone worked on my bro 4G phone

Smile is a pure 4G network. But Ntel is said to be the 5th GSM network after MTN, GLO, Airtel and Etisalat, making it likely to support 2G and 3G.
By the way, Smile transmits its LTE on 800Mhz, otherwise known as band 20. So only 4GLTE devices that support that frequency would work.

Where your own? Show us make we see or forever remain mute.

Don't mind these Buhari haters. This is going to make life easier for those who import from China, and of course, our exporters. In time, I believe this administration is going to get it right.

Memyselfu2009:
Spectrenet not available in abj but smile is contact me for more info

Stop spreading wrong info. Both Spectranet and Smile are available in Abuja. It's only Swift that isn't available.

Beremx:
my bill is 99k. they shared bills yesterday and gave us 20hrs of light. 10k every month as bills. dem dey craze?

ndi ara!

That's the disadvantage of post-paid meter... you have no control over your bills. But it seems electricity supply has gotten better this week.

xharder:
I just called an uncle who works with peace air, he told me the process has been on for over 2 year now and was approved just last week. the approval took buhari unaware because he would have cancelled it. it was the government of enugu state and some stake holders and investors that fought for the approval and with the help of DSP ekweremmadu, peace mass transit, etc. the people of enugu should be thanking Jonathan and his aviation minister for making enugu airport an international one in the first place. Buhari and his cohort has noting to do with this. the next is to give us all the embassies of the approved route most especially US embassy.

Of course, you will always have an uncle when it's convenient for you. Your hate for Buhari is inconsequential as you are.

greenhulk:
SM-G920T.

I thought as much. That's the T-Mobile variant. T-Mobile coin their H+ as 4G.

greenhulk:
I think it depends on the bands supported by ur device. I use Samsung Galaxy s6 which supports multiple bands and my 4g is always on whenever I turn on my data. Mtn 4g is not lte but it is pretty fast on compatible devices. I think mtn 4g band is not supported by all devices. For example if I take my mtn sim and put it on my iPhone, it shows only 3g. Normally I phones categorize 3g, 3.5g and hadpa+ all as 3g. So they have only 3 bands, 2g, 3g and LTE..MTN doesn't have lte yet so it is pointless switching to lte as it will be draining battery, I reserve that for ntel.

Even at that I still get 12mbps with my mtn on my iPhone, check pic below. But with the same sim in my s6 with 4g displayed I get 18mbps. So it all depends on the bands supported by ur device and the network. This is why I think a lot of 4g phones might not actually work to full potential on ntel.

What variant of S6 do you own? I mean the specific model? You can see this in the "About" section of Settings.

asha80:
look carefully at that pic I uploaded and you will see ccecc the Chinese company engaged (and still engaged) to build it written on the down right part of that picture..maybe you can post a link to all those news you talked about to show where all the stops are on that route and pic(from ccecc) to back it up.

No matter the pressure from your tribal folks, do not resort to tribalism. I got tired of all the nonsense comments in the politics section that are simply borne out of hate and sentiment. Hence why I decided to stop commenting in this section.

But this is plain luck. There is no way of reproducing what you just explained.

They probably do have 2G and 3G services. But their main selling point is 4GLTE, that is where their marketing focus have been.

coretechng1:
I tire for people ooo. My Spectranet is 10k/month and its not unlimited and no calls.

calls.[/quote]Exactly. Some people want a dirt cheap plan. But what they fail to realize is, True LTE is not cheap anywhere in the world.

sunboy:
To be sincere this is really cheap. My simple analysis...

1. It is unlimited ( the 3gb cap is only for peak time, even a torrent user can just chill till off peak and start their downloading, simple!) That's is a good business sense, so they don't get to affect the speed of normal internet users.
* Remember they said their service is not for commercial purpose, so don't tell me you run a cyber cafe and that your customers might download.

2. It comes with minutes and SMS to all network ( valued at 2700 for calls @ 15k/s, 1200 for SMS @ N4/sms = 3900. 9000-3900= N5100 for unlimited data really

3. You can even connect with all your family at home with wifi, for just 9k, in these days where airtel and glo don master the art of double charging your data?

4. They offer more than the speed needed even at that price, I believe 5mbp is more than enough for a normal internet user. Fine they promised 230bmp, I believe the worse it should get at its worse shouldn't be below 30mbp.

5. Your sub ends every 30 days, not the message u get from glo after 2weeks that 70% is finished

6. Lastly, for the techno users good luck! ...#TeamIOS, iPhone 5 and above support 4G LTE bands

You are one of the few that actually read and comprehend. The 3gb fair usage is said be during peak period only. Though we still don't know from what period to what period is their peak and off peak. Also, their plans are voice and sms inclusive, not just data. Assuming that the voice minutes can also be used for their VoLTE calls, then the 9,000/month is very much worth it, though it may not be affordable to a lot of people, but it's worth it.

3gb during peak period is not bad at all, but they must specify when their off peak period is, and they must not throttle download speed during off peak, which is probably in the wee hours of night till early morning.

OP, April fool's day has long passed.

Do not take the OP's word for it. Make sure the 4GLTE device you are planning to buy supports both 1800Mhz and 900Mhz LTE frequencies/bands. Not all 4GLTE devices will work on Ntel.
LTE has the most scattered frequencies across devices. In fact, some OEMs, especially Samsung and BlackBerry, make variants of the same device, with different LTE bands support.
Asides the above facts, only a handful of devices support LTE-ADVANCED, and in order to take advantage of LTE-A, your device must support both bands listed above. One band is not enough to achieve LTE-A.

For instance, my BlackBerry Z30 STA 100-2 variant supports both bands, but doesn't have LTE-A capability, so I could only achieve LTE speeds.

How did you come about these data plans? Where did Ntel published them?

csc2:
Oga Shine your eye.... Don't you see VOLTE for the screenshot?

That is not a proof, actually. A lot of 4GLTE networks around the world also support VoLTE.

Daniel2802:
That's why I am not too happy but 3gb per day ain't so bad.

True.
