Tholley:
I have the x25 router. Can I get the ODU and use the sim in the router. Will it work?

Secondly, read somewhere here that it can also work in a mod mifi, I just need something I'll be able to use in my car or when I'm out of the house.

Yes it will work, I am currently using it with hertz 6 router

4litres:
Or airtel is purposely throttling down subsribers on unlimited data plan because it is common knowledge that when subscribed to capped data plans on airtel, one hardly ever has to deal with any form of network issues, only happens when subscribed to unlimited plans.

Honestly thinking same thing and I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case cause the normal capped data plans browses at optimum speed 99% of the time but once it comes to unlimited that's not the case

I think they are trying to limit the number of GB we would be able to use

olujosh301:
Yes and I still receive daily data usage messages

Sorry I don't understand, how can you be receiving daily data usage when the SIM is not working

olujosh301:
I am also facing this issue, this is my third month and I haven't removed the sim since it was installed. My odu only has physical sim no esim

First of all, when you log into myairtel app, is your subscription balance still showing ?!

morikee:
My friend tell me say all of a sudden his network disappeared he can no longer browse he even test the sim on phone it says insert sim

Likely the sim is damaged, tell him to go do a sim swap

lilclin:
Lol nothing will change. You don't even have real 5G in Nigeria yet

The funds to deploy real 5G across the country no be here, I really don’t blame the ISPs for not embarking on such venture yet

Just renewed my subscription, got the 10 percent cashback instantly

Gshems:
Currently using the spectranet unlimited, speed limited to 8mbps. But streams well to allow me watch matches

What's their subscription price??

LilNetty:
but I was told the backdrop for unlimited is not going for now, unfortunately my unlimited was suppose to expire on the 6th of Feb it just stopped showing network all of a sudden yesterday, I inserted it in the phone NO NETWORK

It's like your sim is physically damaged, go do a SIM swap

Gidah:
Non ODU subscription is working well and i still have people closer using the HBB 30k sub ,the speed is normal .it feels like its only me against the world.

Call their customer, ask to speak with a supervisor, those ones that first pick the call don’t know anything

morikee:
Come to think of it i think they will never retrieve the device even if you failed to sub for 3 months cus that's what they said with that Nokia own then and there was no retrieval i still have the device seff but that one no get power bank

They said I have to sub for two years before the device becomes mine and they have the right to retrieve it if I fail to sub for three months, I just dey look dem dey laugh 😂

For Nigeria where dem dey beat nepa😂😂

Tover:
17u is the best

Pure specs, X17M clears it, you can look it up online to see

Gidah:
I guess switching from esim to physical Sim was the start of my issue.Firstly my old subscription was active when I did the switch so when the sub end and I was trying to do another ,after loading airtime on the Sim card it took little less than 48hrs before they were able to activate it . I was spamming them with calls ,they first took the credit off the line without it browsing it took another 4 hrs before I got a msg the subscription its active . But the first 4 days was ,good speed blazing 50Mbps stable until few min before Arsenal vs Man u .

Switching to physical sim is not the issue,I got my ODU first of December last year, switched to physical sim a couple of days later and it’s been blazing ever since except for a glitch I experienced this month of which I was compensated with extra seven days, and I sub directly from myairtel app without issues, I remember someone here complained about an issue similar to yours and he was using an E-SIM , so you see,

If you have another airtel sim or you know someone that uses airtel, check to see if it’s a general issue in your area or it’s only peculiar to your ODU

morikee:
Shey this type good na wetin them get for Kaduna office asking for a friend

This is the x17U, a downgrade of X17M , it has a lot of complaints from this thread, it's only selling point is the battery life which is way better than the X17M, if that's the only device available, he should get it , but if there's another model available, he shouldn't get this

kzeebaba:
If you need spectranet unlimited not FUP thing your data won't finish till the end of your sub day hit me up 8138444166

How much?

enoch5553:
ZLT X17U

If you have another router that can work with the ODU plan, put the ODU SIM inside and see if the speed improves

enoch5553:
At all, I thought it was that from someone's info before.

But my last plan expired on the 18 and I resubscribed. This is 24th I couldn't have used 1TB in a span of 6 days when the stuff barely even works

My last plan expired (. This is a new sub and I haven't even used up to 100gb

Sorry, what ODU model do you have?

enoch5553:
Feedback on this😭😭
I've swapped it to physical SIM and I'm still getting the same speeds
1mbps

Guys I don't know what to do again

Are you sure you haven't crossed 1TB?

Tenrack:
Why do women do this everytime? I've seen this script play out many a time. She has a serious man who's willing to marry her soon but she is contemplating frolicking with you.

I have nothing else to say.
My own is as a man, take women seriously at your own peril. This one say na classy women. It's all right.

“Man suffers cause he takes serious what the gods made for fun”

noobody:
He is the one

Only if he searched the phone number

He won't have fall for the trap

He has messaged me before, searched his number on nairaland , and your post exposing his scamming activities was the first to come up, saved me some stress, thanks 🙏🏽

Tover:
Everyone in this group should please be careful of someone called #morikee (morikee) morikee
He messaged me on January 13th, as early as 6am, claiming he could help me change my Airtel alternative number. During my SIM registration, my MTN line was used as the alternative number because my younger brother helped me with the registration.
On this platform, some people have complained that Airtel stops subscriptions when MTN is used as an alternative number, so I made a post asking if anyone knew how to change it. That was when morikee messaged me, offering to help.
He initially asked for ₦7,000, but we later agreed on ₦5,000. I sent him ₦2,000 to start, with the agreement that I would complete the payment after the change was done.
Later that same morning, I checked Nairaland and discovered that this same person has the exact problem and had also posted asking how to change his own alternative number to Airtel
I then went to the Airtel office to confirm. The Airtel staff told me to leave it as it is, since my subscription is still working. Based on that advice, I messaged morikee and asked for a refund. I even told him to keep ₦1,000 and refund ₦1,000, but he refused to refund anything.
I’m sharing this so that he doesn’t message someone else here and collect money under false claims.
Please everyone, stay security-conscious and alert.

No be morikee be that, I can bet that it’s the infamous nairaland scammer, naso he dey do going from section to section looking for who to scam

Post his account number too

NSEstudent:
On TV or pc?

I have used it on Tv , PC , phone, it streams well on all devices , sometimes it buffers though but 7.5/10 streaming live matches on the website is stable

NSEstudent:
Which app you dey use?

Today is probably the worst in terms of network speed for here. To open app self hard talk less of stream.

I use a website fawanewsdotsc

Streaming arsenal’ vs Liverpool match, no bufering

NSEstudent:
I hope my eyes no dey pain because Airtel just increased my compensation from 2 days to one month.

Nice. Make I see if na correct compensation abi na Audio.

Na only one week dem add join my own ooo, e be like this airtel don dey do partial

Enjoy

Osyxcel:
Lol. In a bid to stop the other way, they cause issues for some using the right way.

I think so too cause when I called the customer care, I was told to call out the IMEl of my ODU which I did

Osyxcel:
Well, I'm on physical SIM and there no issue with the sub.

This issue is not new though. It has happened a couple of times last year. It will be sorted out, probably with compensation sef.

Shebi una don see am , no be by e sim or physical sim, na the normal ‘Nigerian network syndrome’ dey worry dem

NSEstudent:
Na when I dey use the other way I dey get problems. Even then, it was fixed and extended each time.

I never get problem since I went official.

This problem is new and I dey laugh as una think say eSim make una untouchable. E go reach everybody. No be we dey ball before wey eSim people dey complain?

Leave dem make them dey think say because dem no swap to physical sim , dem dey untouchable, I remember when na e sim users complaint full this thread before it was resolved, e go touch everybody no be Nigerian networks again

lilclin:
you're using physical sim?

Yes I am

morikee:
E come be like Airtel don wipe my Unlimited

Same here oooo, it stopped working this morning, I just thought it was a normal downtime which will be resolved in maybe an hour or two, I just said to myself let me come to this thread and see if I am the only one affected and I saw your post , I went straight to my airtel app only to see my unlimited balance has been wiped , when I click on buy bundles, the unlimited plan is no longer showing, it’s now showing normal phone data plans , no router plans anymore , called customer care , they requested for the IMEI of my ODU, and said it will be resolved in 24 hours, this is unacceptable

Ex0rrcist:
Don't bother, it won't work. Tested it here too, same thing. He has some other data on the sim or some glitch I don't know. But it's still locked to routers only.

Think it was a glitch cause it's no longer working
