See image attached.
Firstly, @ Paykobo, we don't play the blame game, we accept absolute responsibility. Etisalat is a company created by humans, and so is Paykobo, and as such we expect as with everything human, some certain level of errors.

1. 100% of Complaints done so far on this thread is on Etisalat Network. Not Glo. Not MTN. Which we also serve..

2. There are 2 possibilities when you get assigned data from us on Etisalat.

a. You Exhaust it.
b. We remove you.

A. When you exhaust it. It shows you have 0MB, and still shows you the sponsor wallet. (As shown in the attached)
B. When we remove you, you'll not see us on your list anymore. You'll see something like: Dear Customer you have used up your data balance.. (As shown in your attachment 2)

But in this case ONLY your sponsor wallet is shown, yet your own account doesn't show. This is a technical error, in my honest opinion. ( Probably as a result of the recent upgrade in their system)

If you had called us, email us, sms us. We will have probably gone overboard to re assign fresh data to you. We are not doing this for profit, at least not yet. And your customer satisfaction is our priority. But since it's rather convenient for you to complain here first, which suggests you'll like to get to the root of the issue. I think your best bet is to walk into a etisalat shop or call them to have this resolved. because, we are still your sponsor, yet you cannot access your account. So, something is definitely wrong. And it's definitely not something we control.

Hello paykobo
This is my number 08029264108
i got 2gb etisalat data from you on the 24th of march 2015 around 5 - 6pm
By the 1st week of april, Etisalat started charging me from my prepaid line.
I checked *229*9# and could not seen the allocated data again. I called Etisalat and they said i no longer have an allocation or any data plan
Etisalat and I have been involved in series of mail exchange, and i have gotten a data usage report from them that showed i only used about 540MB within that period.
They claimed my sponsor -you - also have access to that data and could have used it since it was on a shared data platform.
Please clarify what happened to my allocation, and if you have no hand in it, please send a mail to etisalat with your identification requesting for a usage report to be shared with me.
Thank you

Hello TidyMaster,

Thank you for Choosing Paykobo.com, we appreciate the opportunity to serve you.

I can't consume more than 20 mb daily by browsing Nairaland. Well my sponsor wallet returned 100mb to me recently, though it ought to be 300mb, but its all good. Thanks for ur customer care.

Happy Easter to you Mr. Bratan, Thank you for Choosing Paykobo.com, Your sponsor wallet is not controlled manually sir once it's allocated, unless you get another allocation, and it's exactly at the same rate as if you are using data purchased directly from Etisalat. Understand, we are third party facilitators, the data you get is directly from Etisalat not us. We only help you to save more, by buying in bulk and delivering to you in smaller chunks.

I think you should either call or walk into an etisalat shop to demand a report of your data consumption, because what you experienced is exactly what you'll get even if you buy directly from etisalat. I have a personal experience of over 20GB consumed in less than 3 days from Etisalat, for data I bought directly from them. And they showed me log sheet, saying I visited thousands of website. Something ridiculous!

It's real but I'm not too cool with the time of delivery. First transaction two nights ago took till yesterday afternoon. If there was a functional whatapp line, it's a thing I could ve used to ascertain if I would be creditted with data immediately.
PS: This happened yesterday:
Hello Mr. Qwerty uiop, We only offer N25 for 100MB per account. We are very sorry your second transaction cannot be completed. 012793388

Good Morning Mr. Qwerty uiop, Thank you for Choosing Paykobo.com. Unfortunately, we currently run our services from: 8am to 1am. and hope to run 24/7 service in a not too distant future, since we all need data at night anyways. So, that's something we hope to achieve soon, this was the reason why you got your N25 100MB on Glo the next morning, NOT afternoon sir.

Secondly, I find it rather interesting that you'll want to use an obvious promotion of N25 for 100MB more than once, when it's clearly stated, it's a one time purchase, per person, per number, per account. The essence of the N25 promo is to actually to convince you of a service that'll save you money.

It's really bad, as we've people registering several accounts in different names, or using all different phone numbers within their reach simply to take advantage of opportunities meant for everyone. This promotion has a limited slot.

We hope you'll find our service good enough to patronize us, after your've enjoyed your first 100MB for N25! and not find a way to deny someone else the opportunity to have the same experience. This is actually discouraging us from continuing with this promotion.

My experience with paykobo was quite wierd. I tried their service for the first time with #600 for etisalat 500mb on March 29. Paid via online and all I did was follow the election update on Nairaland. I was surprised when I discovered my data finished this morning. Couldn't reach paykobo contact, so I called etisalat customer care and I was told data don finish for my sponsor wallet.
Well, i no go vex cos CHANGE IS HERE.
Sai .....
Change is definitely here, and the change is Paykobo where you save Naira, on this particular day you complained, etisalat servers was down (sorry you got wrong info from etisalat cs)and most customers couldn't even check their data balance, but am sure you've seen your sponsor wallet is actually there. And hopefully your data has been consumed, we keep serious track of such comments.

Hello Richard, Thank you for the update. This line actually has enough credit to keep you going, but unfortunately, there's a technical error from Etisalat during the conversation to data, which they are working on as we speak. Kindly exercise a bit of patience while, they fix it, but rest assured, all is fine. If however, you need to urgently move on, we are glad to put you on any of our enterprise data lines.

Why is the master card requesting my atm pin?

using debit card dey fear me..I use bank transfers through my banks mobile app instead...different strokes for different folks though
Thank you for choosing Paykobo.com, we do not process your cards, but the original manufacturers of your card do. http://www.interswitchng.com, we use Webpay, so, using your card online is exactly same way you use it on your atm or pos machines, if you noticed once you choose pay with your card, it takes you to a different website, interswitch webpay, so you are very safe like all the transactions already done. This is the ONE and ONLY Card processor in Nigeria.

Hello paykobo!
Do you accept recharge card pins as a method of payment? Since that could be quicker and convenience at times.
You are correct about the quicker and convenience, but at this time, unfortunately we do not accept pins. We are considering ways to fix it, problem is: Pins are prone to error, and the error could be from whoever sold it to you, when you sent it, when we received, when we load it, etc...

Op are you really a neutral customer or paykobo worker? My instinct tell me the latter.
I tried paykobo for the first time 100MB for N25(Great price) but am really dismayed now,cos i can't browse,i still have mb left,but my data sharer i.e paykobo have 0mb left in the sim they use to share for me.
Am really disappointed after all the hype,i might not try them again next time.
Hello Richard, Kindly advise the line that was used to deliver data to you. Dial: *917*9#, email to: hello@paykobo.com For most of our very early customers, we didn't keep track of the allocations but rectified most so far. Other line actually now has rollover automatically on it, except 1. As they've been loaded with enough credit to keep customers going. so, most customers actually have. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. We continue to improve. Every single step of the way.

Y are u people not replying me. I bought an etisalat 100mb since yesterday, but u said my number is attached to another sponsor, have since requested the mb to be sent to my Mtn number but am yet to hear from u people since yesterday. Have contacted u via email and Facebook still no response

Hello Mr. Dipocian, Thank you for choosing Paykobo.com, Kindly confirm the status of your existing sponsor relationship, you however have the option to use another etisalat or Glo line. As you'll have noticed, MTN is only available from 1GB for N1,100 . And you purchased the Promo Plan of N25 for 100MB which is available strictly on Glo and Etisalat Network.

On another note, you've the option of enjoying this promotion on another etisalat or Glo Line, or simply requesting for a refund, by sending your GTB banking details to hello@paykobo.com and stating your order number.

We appreciate the opportunity to serve, and we promise to continue to find better ways to improve on our products and services!

Suddenly can't check balance and my internet is down, not sure its the Paykobo data or etisalat poor network
Good Morning Henry007, We appreciate the opportunity to serve you.

Kindly note, we are third party facilitators, Data sold are bought in large chunks from Etisalat and sold in bits, so this has very little to do with Paykobo. Etisalat is currently upgrading their network, in fact they started since last week Friday, Please make sure you turn off your data service if you cannot check your balance, else it'll consume your voice credit. Once you are able check your data balance. You can turn it back on. It's a necessary temporary upgrade to improve their service.

Really disappointed, I used my keystone bank MasterCard and it brought back a transfer failed reply.
Tried my sister's GTB MasterCard, same thing.
Bank Error, Interswitch Network, Connectivity.( Our Interswitch WebPay payment gateway is synonymous to the ATM, only now it's Mobile and you provide connectivity). These are some of the reasons, you've had this error. It's an evolution bound to happen, someway, somehow, every-how, our payment system must improve in Nigeria. We've had excellent suggestions from this forum and Customers through our Call center on 012793388. And we intend to introduce the Wallet Account System as suggested. But right now, you can try again or simply use the bank deposit Option.

cee001:
I used money transfer. Through my bank's app. Easy and sttaightforward. I guess som1 here had d same issue but was later resolved... paykobo pls come and answer these complaints and questions
The Issues are a bit different, other customers got debited, but this customer simply had a failed transaction, and not debited. Excellent Choice with the money transfer app.

It's a shame, we've worked very hard for so long, yet starting out we missed one of the most important aspect of our key value proposition to you, but like my boss would say, if we don't start from somewhere, we will never get anywhere. But I should add that, in the last 24hours, we've improved by almost 300%. And because of our over 9years experience dealing with scalability issues, I can guarantee you. The end is near.
