nonsense network.I subscribed Mtn social media pass for 500N a month n guess what they deducted 500N from my account and didn't give me any data. I called the costumer care several times but they didn't resolve that issue, very stupid set of people Thank God I didn't throw away my Airtel SIM @least they are better off for the mean time

I feel your pain dear.. Next time just message them on twitter instead.. They're more responsive there

Not a good marketing strategy at all... Use Social Media Influencers instead..

Omololu007:
will I be able to download videos on YouTube within the 3 hours?

Sure

GogetterMD:
It's very frustrating I tell you. I have run out of options for ISPs, as I'm an heavy user and depend on high speed internet for a lot of services. Most of these ISPs I have listed can't even guarantee you a constant download speed of 300KB

9 mobile could actually save us from this. All they need is better management. Perhaps if any U.S Telco is ready to buy it, maybe T-mobile or Verizon, we'll definitely see some improvements.

01mcfadden:
Lol.
I'll do that straightaway. You deserve it and you earned it. Keep it up. The sky is the starting point.

Thanks bro.. I appreciate

01mcfadden:
Who told you you are my favorite blogger?

I could just happen to be One of your favorite. .. Oya just add me to your favorite list. .. Your boy dey loyal Oh

GogetterMD:
Commendable services you say? In the past 6 months, I have used Spectranet, NTEL, Airtel, Smile and now Swift. And I think the only solution I have left is to relocate abroad for better internet services

Ahh. Bro. It hasn't gotten to that nah.. At least we haven't gotten to the extent we need to climb our roofs to get network. When we get there you can go abroad

Every Telecom provider in Nigeria has its flaws, it's quite obvious.
However, here are actually certain things that they do that actually get subscribers annoyed and if you're a true Nigerian living in Nigeria I'd bet you can relate to most of the things on this. Let's get this list rolling shall we.

I was about subscribing for my Monthly data plan before I saw YouTube packs on the menu. I think this is a welcome development, however I don't know the data limit of the plans.



I sent a tweet to them concerning the data limit and here's what the customer care representative had to say -

I'm guessing they haven't been briefed about it or MTN introduced it secretly because I haven't seen any banners so far relating to it on their social media pages. I still sent a screenshot of the page to them. Once there's a response, I'll certainly add it here.

Apple has already sent out invites for the launch event. They'll also launch other devices but I'm just waiting to see if there's really a 4K Apple TV..

Raymondenyi:
Thanks bro, I just placed an order for it now..

I truly appreciate, without you wouldn't have been able to know about or even get this phone.


Please do u own a phone shop or something in Port Harcourt? Would really love patronising you for accessories...

You're welcome bro.. I don't actually have a shop, I'm still a student ... But I can recommend a shop you could get smart accessories for your home and also drones as well.. Not war drones oh. .. Check out Primehomesng[dot]com. They're based in Port Harcourt

Delightful8:
Please where can i get this homtom ht 50 in Lagos apart from jumia. My phone is bad and i need a replacement urgently. Was thinking of getting infinix hot 5 but now I am in love with homtom.
Thanks

Don't really know if it's available in computer village but it's best you order from jumia

donbrowser:
Impressive, I see some girls........ Fill in the gap

bros help me fill am

Raymondenyi:
Hello house, thanks for the heads-up..
I want to place an order for the Humtom HT50 on Jumia.
Just got to see that there is no "pay on delivery option " and also no warranty unless the item is damaged or a wrong item was brought for you.
No cancellation once item is ordered.

Those are their terms. Should I still go ahead?


Also tried searching it on Ali express, only got the spare parts, couldn't really find the phone on Ali express.
Seen it isn't a Chinese product (maybe South Korea) because Ali is known for mostly promoting Chinese brand.


Please I need responses and reactions, thanks.

C. C: naijatechguy and all the other gurus.

Yeah you can order it as long as the return policy clearly states that If the product is damaged it'll be returned. You'll be duly refunded if something like that occurs.

Raymondenyi:
Hello brother... Thanks for this so much... Actually I want to buy a new phone because of the tecno L8 lite that I have, whose RAM is very small..
I see the specs of that humton 50 as appropriate for me, please I have some questions to ask. And require urgent response.

Does the phone work in Nigeria?
Is it a phone that will last me?
How strong is the phone? Is it durable?
Is it readily available in shops nation wide (e.g slots)
why is the phone not so rampant despite its superb quality and very fair price?

Please help me answer these questions as outlined, I'll be very pleased. Thank you.

It works perfectly in Nigeria and it'll definitely last for you. It's a strong device and its durable. To be on the safe side protect the screen with a screen guard and use a pack for the phone.

Its not available nationwide. It's only available on few shops. Many people prefer going for the popular brands, unfortunately most shop owners overlook this device because they're looking for maximum profit. You can get it on jumia. It's very safe.

... Hahaha.. Seriously the comments on this thread got me laughing.. Henry007 you try abeg no mind them.. It's the stuff we tech bloggers go through almost every time.. However positive criticism is always allowed. By the way I'll need your Whatsapp contact. Need to talk to you about something.
