Not easy Bro
Yea, but he mentioned it. cheesy

I have also subscribed before my ODU bundle expired once. I thought I would see the expiry date extended but what happened was that it stayed the same until the current one expired. The new sub then showed up with new expiry date.

Whereas it was the ODUs we were talking about compared to the X30 when you talked about 'facts", never mind the subtle mentions I made of the X25 devices, the AI got the features and specs mixed up. That said, X25 is still better than it from chipset to hardware constraints, speed, etc.

ZLT X30, never mind that it's 5G ready, its main selling point is portability and battery life. At least that's why I would want to buy it, especially since it should work with broadband bundles.

Is there a way I can bypass this 1tb limit?
I use more than 1tb each month and it's not been funny once the 1tb is exhausted and if I do another sub before the expiring date it will not reflect still the old sub expires
Since you're cool with subscribing, get two ODUs or one ODU and one 'the other way' sim. When one reaches 1TB, subscribe the other one and repeat.

Please I want to buy the ODU today. Which is the best one to buy? They said what they have is the eSIM version, should I get that?
I would say Huawei or ZTE if you can find them.

If they are not, you can get any one. The esim is no issue so long as it registers and works before you leave their office. You can quietly swap the esim for a physical one.

Don't let them use MTN as your alternate number. So you should register a fresh normal Airtel Sim before going, if you don't already have one.

Please can you say this with fact

It the same Company that does the zlt x25 odu that did this too


I can show you the dash board

You know that the odu and idu cant be moved around

That what led me to getting this


I cant be buying sub at home and still buy another one when I leave the house, hence this smaller one with battery
Bro the ODUs are more expensive than the device na. Abi which fact again you want?

Tozed Kangwei makes all the ZLT devices.
X30 is even old but it fits our use case here. That's why I showed interest in it too. They later made another one, X35 with less battery capacity but even that one is not currently being produced/marketed.

The ODUs and IDUs are premium devices. There are standalone IDUs like X25 Max 2, which is the newer version of X25 and X25 pro devices, their street credible best sellers.

It not bro


It directly from ZLT COMPANY
No. It's expensive. I will be willing to buy one or two if the price is right.

I like the device, especially the idea of a portable 5G capable router. I also like the battery size. It will be able to last me a reasonable time.

I had Netgear Nighthawk M2, which I bought around 2021, it was a joy to use. But they killed it the day I did software update. Its wifi stopped working but it works via ethernet.

Please what is the name of the install helper app? 🙏
If it's the ZTE G5F you got, you can see the QR code on it with which you can download the app. The app is also called 'Install Helper' and can easily be downloaded from Play Store if you use android. I'm sure the iOS version will be readily available too.

Be sure it's ZTE because that's the only ODU that the app works with. I'm not sure if the others have similar app(s).

You sure this government never loot everything finish so they have to delay before they now pay.
With this government anything is possible
Anything is possible but not defaulting on local currency bonds. What I suspect is systemic lack of integrity on the part of the regime - from the DMO to whoever is regulating them, all the way to the government itself. And it's unfortunate.

I am yet to be paid my sukuk bond coupon which is due 29th of December.
I wouldn't know if it's DMO or Stanbic IBTC holding my money.
This is the first time I am not paid on the 29th.
For some years now, I have not been paid my coupon on the exact due dates for any of my FGN Savings Bonds. They eventually pay any day they like. I have stopped expecting them on the due dates.

For context, this only happened on weekends or public holidays for all the times I have been buying government bonds. Initially, they were giving excuses, but these days no one cares to explain anything. They just pay any time they want. Too much anyhowness. No transparency, no regard for the investors, nothing nothing. Just vibes.

Vitafoam might go into full bid from tomorrow. At what price do you think one should stop chasing it. I will love to buy it and hold for medium term
I stubbornly placed a bid at 87, then 88 and didn't get.

I won't be bidding for it if it starts from full bid. I will wait for it to come down. If not, I won't be buying it anymore.

I don't usually stream live events because I use cable. And I've come to discover that most of all these free platforms don't have good server, only few do.

Yeah, movies stream effortlessly.

I think it depends on the platform you are streaming from sometimes. Like now I've been streaming full HD content since 8pm and it has been very smooth
Which platform you dey take stream live event? I think movies generally do well because they no be live event.

When network is close to average, I stream football games very well but whenever it's bad, it's frustrating. On those bad days, movies stream seamlessly.

I mean most of them share same outdoor unit (the one mounted outside). It's the indoor unit that are different models. I'm talking from my own experience
All the devices I listed above are ODUs and they are different models.

I still believe you're talking about the form factor of the ODUs because they all look alike and, like you have rightly noticed, the IDUs look significantly different. If this is not the case, kindly share the specific models you have experienced.

FWIW, Airtel have been consistent in pairing of their ODU/IDU package in that they have always had different pairs. They may change that in the future but for now all their pairs have been different from previous ones.

Share the ones that are not same
Bro they are not. I think what you meant is that they are of similar structure. They look alike.

We have talked about ZLT X17M, X17U; ZTE G5F, HUAWEI MAX 5. These are different.

Or do you mean something else?

As someone who owns 5G X25 pro Smartbox and two different models of ODU,
Smartbox outperforms ODUs.
I’ve done both speed and reception tests, 5G Smartbox outperforms both.
Your ODU was probably not optimally installed. However, that's not taking anything away from X25 because that box is wonderful.

How do you guys activate an external SIM when you swap the eSim?
I am asking specifically on this new ZLT X17U, because I couldn't see the toggle button to select eSim or external SIM.

I am trying this on a neighbour's ODU for when he will do SIM swap.
A close menu I see on the router's UI is to logout the eSim.

Please does anyone has suggestion of Mifi that currently works with ODU sim? I will greatly appreciate your response on this. Thank you
You have not been following up.

As a reminder, ZLT M30 and M30 pro work with the sim but you'd need to work on the mifi for it to work.

Vida M4 is what I am using right now with the ODU plan and it’s still blazing since I tried it this afternoon, reboot and reset your mifi and see it it works
I restarted the router and it didn't work still.
I will test it again tomorrow. I hope it works because the router has 3000mAh battery, uses nano SIM and charges with type C. Convenient and compatible with modern devices, unlike ZLT M30. M30 though, has LAN port.

No.

I input manually.

For context, at that start of this year, all I had was N2m in my portfolio whereas at the same time I owed N7m to banks and friends.

I basically had -N5m net.

I had to borrow at up to 156% annualized cos for me, I must trade in every market session, even if I have to borrow expensive money trade.


So while it's been a good year, it wasn't a year in which I could have afforded to pay for expensive APIs.
I see.

Must be a tedious stuff to do.

Okay, I'm totally lost on here

Please is this some thread on Unlimited Plan for Mifi User or una don move go another thing?

Because I have no idea what ODU is.
Airtel Unlimited wink

ODU is the flagship of the Airtel unlimited plans currently. It's a combo of outdoor unit (ODU) and indoor unit (IDU) that work together to bring internet connection and WIFI to your home. It can work on some portable routers(MIFI) after tweaking. In fact, there is rumour that it now works on MIFI without tweaking.

So the thread is still on point...

Losses are absorbed by more profits.

Only a few days are red. Less than 5% of days.

I can't remember the last time I had a red week.

The longer the time frame the less the probability of a loss.
