Up till now, i still don't know why Nigerians use camera to judge phone quality. Are they ignorant of other important factors to consider that make a good quality phone

TMKsouth:
South Africa's leading online tech magazine conducted this research on the 4 biggest mobile network providers. The results prove that NLanders aren't the only ones experiencing disappearing data. It also happens in SA. Sorry I didn't convert Rands into Nairas, but you'll get the picture anyhow.

HERE' THE FULL REPORT by MYBROADBAND
https://mybroadband.co.za/news/cellular/275989-disappearing-airtime-in-south-africa-is-still-real-here-is-the-proof.html/amp

SUMMARY

To test if irregular airtime depletion was occuring on local mobile networks, MyBroadband placed prepaid SIMs from MTN, Vodacom, Cell C, and Telkom in four Nokia 5 smartphones.

On 14 September 2018, the prepaid SIMs were loaded with the following airtime balances:

Vodacom – R12.00
MTN – R10.00
Telkom – R25.00
Cell C – R10.00

No user actions which would have consumed airtime or data were performed. After 24 hours, the airtime balances were checked again – with surprising results:

Vodacom – R12.00
MTN – R6.00
Telkom – R25.00
Cell C – R10.00

The data monitoring app showed that none of the devices had used more than 0.1MB. We left the devices for another three days, after which they reflected the following balances:

Vodacom – R12.00
MTN – R0.00
Telkom – R25.00
Cell C – R10.00

The airtime balance on the MTN SIM had been depleted over the test period, despite no mobile data being used.

MTN RESPONSE

MyBroadband sent the results of the test to MTN and requested feedback on the “disappearing airtime”. Less than one hour after sending the query, the Nokia 5 with the MTN SIM received the following SMS:

Y’ello. Your Subscription Service to Fantasy football has been cancelled. Please dial *123# for an overview of MTN Subscription Services.

Following the cancellation SMS, MTN said it established that the number in question was fraudulently subscribed, by the means of click-jacking, to Fantasy Football.

“This type of fraud is prevalent on smartphones, where a user may mistakenly click on a banner that is linked to a bot which mimics the behaviour of the customer and approves the opt-in and double opt in requests without the customer knowing,” said MTN.

“Click-jacking fraud is a major issue and we understand this to be a global issue that occurs outside of MTN’s network. We are currently introducing a number of ways to monitor, protect, and put an end to these unscrupulous fraudulent subscriptions.”

This includes MTN’s Treating Customers Fairly (TCF) policy.

It is very funny when uninformed people think they know things and comment publicly, this phone and camon 11 pro are almost same price or huawei y9 is 2k cheaper than camon 11 pro, huawei also have service center in Nigeria, the one that is more professional, technical and better than calcare because they don't just repairs smartphone they service telecom equipment for all the network providers in Nigeria. Huawei service centre in Abuja is at bannex Wuse 2 while their office is at Dunes centre Maitama. I know they are in many major cities in Nigeria.

The problem of Nigerians is not prices, it is lack information and laziness to seek such info.

2 hrs and 22 minutes spent on nairaland and I'm already ftc

Carragher is an olodo. Pogba can never be bigger than Man United.

How can Pogba cause mourinho's sacking when the results and negative football tactics are clear for all to see?

In the match against Liverpool, he had more than 1million pounds a week worth of wages on the bench.

Alex Sanchez - 500k
Paul Pogba -350k
Fred - 175k
And these are players that didn't even do warm up

What kind of kingdom fraud is this? If you want to give out the car for free, then do it rather than insulting our intelligence.

Let's assume 500 Million people worldwide fall for this "HOLY Fundraising Lottery Scam" by donating $10 each, that equals $5 Billion.

Religion has always been about money & scam!

Thank you very much sir

There's no second force not to talk of third force.

Apc and buhari are unopposed, forget the noise, fake news, misinformation and all sort of propaganda dished out by other political parties on daily basis.

PMB all the way
God bless Nigeria

Nairalanders join me and celebrate as I am a year older.
I know you would expect me to pour encomium on myself but you are wrong.
But I choose to give God all thanks and glory.
Because If I have 10,000 tongues it won't still be enough to give glory to God amidst all happenings for his goodness, faithfulness, mercies, provision, protection, healing, comfort and I will never live a day without saying 'Thank you' everlasting king.

So today I say father take my Thanksgiving for you have done so much for me adding another glorious year to my years on earth.
"Happy birthday to my self "
