Brethren, I already have the 4g smart box which has been disastrous. It's only the fact it made my tv Android TV that I like.

If I buy the ODU, can I use it to supply data to the smartbox and stream content?

The Smartbox media streamer has a wifi, it's just that you have to disconnect it for the wifi to work. If you know...

Do this:

1. Call CC
2. When they pick, tell them to go through the records of your router line. Ensure you have the router number to call to them.
3. Usually, first responders don't know jack about router lines, so tell them to forward the call to their supervisors any time they say something untoward. They normally say you have exhausted the data. Tell them it's unlimited and should be time based and not data based.
4. You are vexed obviously, but don't show it, at least not yet. Be intent on communicating effectively about what happened, and be factual about it too.
5. The supervisor will go through the records and reset the date to the actual date. Ensure you tell them the date you subscribed or registered the line, as the case may be; and make sure the date is correct o.

During that bad period, I called them many times. They must have taken notice of my repeated calls because the calls were recorded. It could be because of me that they reset some people to 10th because the initial expiry date for the sub I did was 9/10, but after fixing it, they moved it one day ahead to 10/10/2025 which I have renewed and still using with no problems.

Good luck.

The reason I prefer calls is that I get to pour my heart out to them and explain the thing as e dey hot and get response from them instantly. Emails and sm channels dey dull me.

Sha, the calls dey waste time too. The period between the first responders and the supervisors sometimes dey dey long, but I get battery and I dey wait.

You didn't follow the instructions I gave you. It's a template I used more than thrice and in each case I got to speak with those they are 'escalating' to.

In fact, at one point, the ones they escalated to even escalated to other people. In the end the problem got solved.

Well, hopefully they eventually fix it for you.

you didn't lie bro. 3 weeks ago i had a similar issue. I requested they transfer my call to a supervisor. I poured out my mind and right on the call, the supervisor escalated my issue, told me to hold on then finally he requested i reboot my ODU and see the Magic! It worked right there on the call. I seized the opportunity to plead with the man to help use his influence to get us 5G in my area. He said he'll try. Last week, he called me while at work that 5G is live in my area. I couldn't wait to get home and boom.... 5G was live for real on my Router. The format works 💯

I finally got my ODU today. It's a brand new version different from the ones all of you are using. So new even the installers had initial difficulty in setting it up. But it's all up and running now.

It has an Ethernet port and cable so I plugged in my smartbox hoping it will work by but it's not. It recognises that ethernet was plugged in but it doesn't show any network.

When I go to network settings inside the smartbox, I see this. Dunno what to input there that might make this work. Or even what to tweak in the router settings

This is the best hack so far, tested and trusted. My guy's issue has just been resolved now after 10days of hell. He can browse now and the ODU payment option is now back, expiry date extended from 10th to 16th October.

When you call just tell those first responders you want their supervisor straight up. Cheers

Can I get the IMEI of the device?
You don’t have to send me the complete IMEI,
Maybe the first 12 or 11 numbers will do.


I guess they switched to ZTE again.

I’m trying out something, if it works out.
I’ll share my discovery.

I think at the back of the Carton.
The sticker on the device packaging
Or the back of the device.
Just check and get back to me.
