Paxxcarl:
is that not illegal

Illegal ke!...

Abeg, everything is LEGAL until you are CAUGHT, especially in Nigeria.

For the government/politifcians, everything is LEGAL.

Right now in this part of the world with the current leadership,everything is "highway"

There's a reason YOU are a Nigerian, utilised it bro.

Saw an advert from airtel too, contacted a customer care via Twitter but she couldn't give me a location for an authorised outlet to get it.

So how can anyone be sure that those details supplied will not be used to do duplicate SIM cards to be sold off illegally? grin cheesy

This is always a possibility as long as there's no limit to the number of simcards anybody can own, I can register and just resell to anybody.

The whole thing is a bit dead on arrival.

So I always wanted to get a new SIM after one of my two Airtel SIM got broken since that was the line that gave me better data deals
Despite Hearing that the ban on SIM sales has been lifted I'm yet to see any SIM vendor around my area, I tried contacting both MTN and Airtel on Twitter and they both replied that one can only get a new SIM in "Select outlets".

None of those outlets are close to my location though... The thing just weak me.
Please has anyone been able to get a new SIM since the ban was lifted and what location did you get it
Please help a brother


Been looking for one since I got back. Was able to buy one in Port Harcourt this morning. MTN though. On the hunt for airtel and Etisalat

I don't think you are thinking at all. Have you taught about the implication? Whose details will you use to register before reselling?

Use your brain sometimes too. Talking like we didn't register sim cards before.
