Poverty is a bastard

Imagine N100?
Common N100 killed this woman,
The slap was just the weapon!

Jobless people
Is it a crime to own those currencies?

Some people collect world currencies as hobbies naa

texazzpete:
You know they are just rolling out.

They told you coverage is not yet universal

On their website, Egbeda is not listed among the covered areas. Ogudu is.

Why exactly are they supposed to refund you for your own mistakes, especially when you've started using it to browse in Ogudu?

The OP has a point. Obalende is listed among the covered areas and so he MUST receive service or get a refund + apology. I don't think you have a case, to be honest.

Here's the link to the areas of coverage here http://www.ntel.com.ng/4g-lte-coverage/

I asked the customer care and was told that I should get reception in Egbeda
That some people there are getting reception
That was why I handed over the money.
You think I will pay knowing fully well service is not available?

Engnrcollins:

False advertisement!
Highlight the areas you cover and stop deceiving people to buy your sim card and they get home and it's not working.
Few places you cover is not the whole Lagos
OK?

dustmalik:
I see. You could try to get them to suspend your subscription. hard luck, man.

I called them and I was told they can't suspend it.
I can only use it when I go out
Come and see me hunting for network like crazy person all because I don't want 10k to waste

dustmalik:
Initially, i thought he said there is coverage in his location, but network just wouldn't come up on his device. That's why i gave him the above steps.

You are doing more for the dummy company than those who are employed to do these jobs.
In the other thread I was battling with my own sim after coughing out 10k for their useless network and you came to the rescue but all was in vain because their was simply no network

dustmalik:
Create an APN using ntel, then dial *#*#4636#*#*, then go into "Phone information", scroll down and change network type to "LTE Only". Using this method is more effective than just choosing '4G Only' in settings. I have used ntel on a boom j8, and that's the method i used to get it working.

dustmalik
The issue is more than what you wrote up there
There is simply no coverage!
Even if you like, soak your sim in anointing oil after doing the above process, it will not bring coverage to your environment which the phone needs to latch on the network in the first place.

No be only you o
My own 10k subscription is already running and no coverage in Egbeda
I took it to ogudu yesterday and it browsed.
My anger is that they should be able to suspend the subscription till coverage gets to the area of intended use for those who bought the sim not knowing their area is not covered.
In fact I considered the way they are working as a scam.
If the coverage does not come to egbeda till my 10k expires?
I'm throwing the sim away!
Thank God MTN too is now launching its 4g and the signal is all over the place.

AnakinSkywalker:
While I believe Nigerian Rep Members and Senators are the most morally debased on the planet, I want to state that verbal evidence/claims might not be enough for a prosecution or enough to convince me.

Anyone can claim anything. And anyone can be paid/influenced to say anything.

But if you are convinced then next time charge them with sexual harassment, soliciting and disorderly conduct. Even if it doesn't stick at least they would have been shamed. The Police would have led them on with undercover police women and arrest them for Soliciting.

To the U.S., don't ever give a Nigerian Politician a second chance. They are scum and are not worth it. You see how they are running their mouths in Nigeria because they were let go?

Sometimes I tire for this America sef!
They should have given them the IMF leader Strauss Kahn treatment!
Awon onidoti!
Alailojuti!

What character defamation?
Don't we know them.
Next time let the US arrest them and throw the key away!

Awon wayray
They thought they are in Nigeria where they spoil other people's daughters

In the tragicomedy, called Nigeria
No one is innocent!
I just pitied all those whose lives were wasted for June 12

If Nigerian government knows what they are doing?
This man should be made a general
Or else those fat and incompetent Buffoons will frustrate him out of the service.
Because of his competence, they will be afraid of him and according to the unwritten law, these people kill what they are afraid of.

dustmalik:
Before you take any decision, be sure that the fault is not on your own part. ntel is a pure-play 4G network, which means it doesn't support 3G or 2G, therefore network may not come up when you insert the sim on a device.

In fact, from personal experience, ntel network requires a valid APN in order to even bring up signal bars, which is very unusual, probably because it's a 4G only network. So, here is what you need to do;
Create an apn using ntel as the apn. Now, network bars may still not come up. Next, go to your phone app and dial *#*#4636#*#*, then go into "Phone information", scroll down and change network type to "LTE Only". In most cases, as long as network is available, signal would come up.

If your device has 2 sim slots, make sure to try it first on sim 1, because some 2 sim slots phones only support 4G on sim 1.

I did all that!
The problem is , there is no network in my environment.
I don't know why ntel will launch in Lagos and there will not be a base station in Egbeda and idimu?
It does not make sense!

dustmalik:
None of the above is ntel. ntel would appear as ntel or mtel, depending on the device. By the way, what device are you using?

Maybe there is no network in my end
I've tried it with lenovo a6000 plus, Mi 4g, and letv 1s
All 4g phones
Nothing
Planning to try my iPad now

Just tried the iPad now,
No service.
How can I return the sim card?
Abi my 10k don enter voice mail?

dustmalik:
Ntel LTE bands are 3(1800) and 8(900)

Smile LTE band is 20(800)

Spectranet and Swift both transmit over TD band 40(2300).

I just bought my own sim today and I couldn't get it to work in idimu, Egbeda.
Saw some 4g networks under the manual settings
621 26 4g
621 27 4g
621 24 4g
Which of these is ntel or the network does not exist in my area?

Stanley08:
Yep.i think so too. Still shows my location as Abuja. Maybe that will be corrected when they launch in Lagos.

The lack of radio and the wires sticking out is normal, almost all Nigerian commercial vehicles are started by tying wires together!

These are the real heroes of democracy
Not the fat cows sitting in abuja!

Is there going to be the same 3 months free for Lagos subscribers like the Abuja?

The kind of pathogens and worms in pigs?
Especially if not well cooked

But i agree, it is a very sweet meat

Joavid:
eh eh!

see philosopher

clap for yourself, Sigmund Freud.

That's basically the truth!
All females, whether animal or human have this possessive attitude towards their kids and hatred for the kids of their rivals.
Thank God, the world is civilised now and the worst they can do is what the op put up,
In the stone age, they simply murder the step children!

jaykaylegend:
I still wonder why step moms behave like that...

You would be surprised to know that it is basically a survival instinct!
Right from the female animals that eat the kids or the babies of their rivals.
Its an evolutionary instinct to maintain only the survival of their genetic line.
They consider kids from other women as a rival to their own kids, so they try to remove the competition.
This is basically a chemical impulse from their hormones.

This is what Turkey is trying to hide from today

Are these data real or they will be zapped?

No Egbeda, Idimu?

I hate to say this!
This government is always putting the cart before horse!
Is this the best time to start clean up when the militants are busy bursting pipelines?

Why not fix the militants issue first?

Unless this cleanup is just a window dressing or a political move, I see no reason why they should start this at this junction in time.
It does not make sense!

olutsen:
Which of the Nitel old office are you talking about cause I walked in and bought mine. I have a working sim 3 weeks running which proves they aren't fraudulent has u claim. They haven't made hype cause they haven't covered reasonable areas in Lagos unlike Abuja.

They are live reason I am using mine and planning to get another of my reserved line soon. Moreover where is the noise u claim in Lagos?

U claim they are fraud, where have you seen their adverts specifically on Lagos telling you they are on and buy their Sims here or there. Let us be careful the way we label people or businesses without adequate info.

It would have been better if u had asked who has gotten Ntel sim to assist u with info.

Please call this line if you're really interested in one. She is a staff. 09087066999

Please be aware they have 3 bundles but so sure of 3k for 1week and 10k for 1month, I don't have much info on the 1k bundle and they are operational in the island.

Please search NL for more detailed info.

Can the lady get me the sim in lagos?

mrvitalis:
Allow the president to pick his team, after all he will take responsibility for there success or failure.... Judge him after 2019 that's all

And kill many nigerians in the process?

lifezone247:
Cotonou and Togo people I hail.

Even Cotonu and Togo are like London now,
Compared to Nigeria!

How much is tomato in cotonu?

All of us that are lucky to be outside the country,
Abeg no come home now o

Honestly!
The man is hopeless!

Mtsheeeew!
