It doesn't work, unless you have one of those phones they sold directly.

I see. To be certain, I'll visit their head office in Abuja.

progress69:
There is a serious campaign of calumny against the Nigerian Army sponsored by some useles unpatriotic politicians in the opposition, who is bent on making the President because his is Fulani look sympathetic to killer militias sponsored by the same group.

Agreed. This propaganda is getting stale

Does anyone know an established method/settings of getting VoLTE to work on ntel, especially on devices with native VoLTE support, like Xiaomi redmi note 3 or 4? I'm not talking about their VoxHD app, I'm talking about using the native Phone app to make VoLTE calls.

BTW, Has anyone heard more on the supposed roaming deal by ntel in collaboration with 9mobile and MTN? That is something to look forward to, if it comes to fruition.

So I just got a spectranet mifi (606) the normal white one got it for 5k from a young boy , cracked it myself in less than 5mins.... And it's been wow ntel network is so fast even though it fluctuates between 1-3 bars it has been really fast.... Finished the free 1gb this morning now on the free 10gb no regret whatsoever ..... I stay around Iyana-ipaja btw moving to Yaba soon hopefully it remains this way

Don't come back and shout when they start throttling your 10gb. It's not worth it.

samdeto:
how good are ntel services in abuja. Caz I've noticed that majority of complaints about ntel here are from Lagos users.

It's the same everywhere. And yes, i'm in Abuja.

def111:
Its 22GB for new Sim card at first subscription...

Like I said, stop this misinformation. It's 12gb on first renewal, and it's a frustrating 12gb. I have dumped my sim

kudos4u:
its Glo and Airtel not throttle with their shipinni data? I beggy me dey enjoy my own sha whether throttle oooo or acceleration still better by far pass Glo and Airtel.

Then you have clearly not use Glo LTE or Airtel LTE, otherwise you wouldn't be comparing them to ntel.

teekay213:
do they have good coverage in Lagos and where can I get the sim?

Stop misinforming people. It's 12gb, not 22gb, and your net connection is throttled to make sure you don't enjoy it. I strongly suggest everyone should stay away from it. But if you can afford their unlimited plan, then go for it. that one isn't throttled.

4G+ or LTE+, in most cases, suggests 'carrier aggregation'. Which simply means combination of two or more LTE bands to give better performance.

Now, since MTN supports LTE band 7(2600) and 20(800), i would assume it's the combination of both. But then again, the last time i checked, MTN was not allowed to use LTE band 20 on its MTN branded sims, except for its Visafone branded sims. That was why MTN decided to start issuing sims with Visafone number range. The MTN-Visafone sims are allowed to use both band 7 and 20, but the MTN sims are only allowed to use band 7. Maybe that has changed, so i'm not sure.

My questions to you guys are, are your MTN sims on the Visafone number range? That is, 0704? Also, Do your phones support both band 7 and 20?

For those who don't know, After MTN acquired Visafone, NCC refused MTN from utilizing Visafone's 800Mhz spectrum. But eventually, MTN and NCC reached an agreement that, in order for MTN to deploy its LTE over band 20(800), it must be on sims that are on the Visafone number range. That was why MTN started issuing sims that are on the Visafone number range.

Rainmaker69:
How does this get past the Mods to front page? Such a nonsensical write up that contains multiple contradictions and is obviously more of fabricated conjecture than fact. Na wah oh.

Nairaland is no longer what it used to be, that's why some of us stayed away from the politics section.

Dam5reey:
If you can remind me of what the numbers in code example 62411 is called then I can do a search on Google

MCC-MNC
Mobile Country Code - Mobile Network Code

4llerbuntu:
Just to be clear, which of these is Swift ?

621-26 is Swift.

What I know for sure is that in 2019, APC will have more votes in the SE & SS than they did in 2015.

saint2ace:
Can they ever change, still the same old story. I've dumped dem for swift

Lol... I wish Swift was available in Abuja. I don't know why they have refused to expand beyond Lagos.

Does anyone know if Spectranet still limit its free unlimited night data to 1MB/s?

I have a contact in their office in one of the neighbouring states that has been supplying me a SIM that comes with 61GB. I have been using it for nearly 3 months now and this is the 6th one I am currently using. Sure there is a trick they do with it but I no dey ask too much question as long as e dey work fine . Once I exhaust it, I destroy the SIM and order another.

Nice one. Lucky you

toluxa1:
AIRTEL is really reping in my area o. I have this on, getting 4MB/s total speed and as I am downloading, I am watching Netflix on my TV (720P) and my wife is also instagraming all on 3G oo. Wonder how fast their 4G will be.

Luckily I have been getting 61GB for N8000 - 1 month validity. I use it for roughly 2 weeks so I do it twice a month. Far better than NTEL or Glo or any current package I know.

How exactly are you getting 61gb at 8k?

mikron:
But ntel works well for me in abuja, area1to be precise

ntel works very well in Area 1 & 2, but it's terrible in most places.

If any one here knows an effective workaround to bypass speed throttling, please share.

If you don't want to die of frustration, Don't buy the ntel WAWU sim. Right now, I'm regretting why I bought it. Ntel is very deceptive.

So, basically you are given two sims, one with 1gb data, and another with 10gb. You pay 1K for it all. The one with 1gb has 48hrs validity, after which it self-destructs. The one with 10gb is the one you are to keep.
But what they don't tell you is that, after using 5 out of the 10gb, they start throttling you. You can hardly get up to 100KB/s from then on. But the 1K you pay is actually loaded as airtime for you, so you can subscribe for the 1k/2gb plan, which gives you 12gb instead since the WAWU sim gives 500% bonus on every data plan.

So, after managing to exhaust the 10gb, I decided to use the 1k airtime to subscribe for the 12gb plan, but to my surprise, i've been throttled since yesterday, and it's very frustrating.

toluxa1:
Shame on NTEL and all these yeye 4G networks claiming 4G. I have been using Airtel for over a month now and even though they don't have 4G in Abuja yet, ordinary 3G on Airtel is far far better than NTEL 4G. My Netflix on my TV never skips even when watching on 1080P. Below is my average download speed on IDM, sometimes 3.3MB/s

Airtel now has LTE all over Abuja

Fake news

tankoy:
"Alhamdulillahi, Allah tackle them for us one by one since you keep saying Hausa Fulani does this and that. This is just one. Next is the old bastard"

OP, how did you know that he was referring to the CAN Chairman?

egemuka02:
My glo 4g LTE SIM doesn't work on my Samsung galaxy j7 pro. But works on my S7 EDGE.....Plz I need help.

Well, that's because your variant of J7 Pro doesn't support band 28.

jaybee:
But this girl is not Hausa/fulani. she is kanuri. The indimis are Kanuris.

Her mother is Shu'arab.

Demonicide:
It is still manageable, at least still better than those thieves called DSTV. But that no 3 no nake sense na.

You better wait and see what they have to offer before making comparison.

Guestlander:
Why are some of you so fixated on Buhari? There was boko haram and killer herdsmen before Buhari became president and if Buhari should go today that will not be the end of the killings in different parts of Nigeria. Try and look at the bigger picture.

They aren't fixated on Buhari. They simply hate the man. It doesn't matter what he does or not.

Some people hate any inch of progress that this administration attains. The hate in them is just astounding.

jmanity:
This is not the way PVC looks like, this is pure Photoshop; although underage registration has been reported in Northern Nigeria but the image you have up there is false and mere propaganda.

It's obviously a photoshop

QuotaSystem:
This is beginning to stink.

Nothing stinks here. The interview was in Hausa, and the girl clearly said 'Jirgin Ruwa' which translates to Boat. But the media gave a wrong translation.

This is dead on arrival already. There is no state in Nigeria without vigilante groups.

I thought they said the so-called rampaging killing Fulani herdsmen are Muslims. How come they are entering Mosques and killing Muslims. The earlier people realize that there is a political undertone to these killings, the better.
