What's on the expired section?
this but during the said timeframe, I didn't even use the router because it wasn't working. When you try to connect to the internet,it redirects me to their benobi page. An agent called me today and I asked him about my subscription and he says he doesn't know what is happening that I don't have any active subscription

I think that cashback works once a month cuz I did two recharges , I was credited for the first one and not for the second one, but I did another transaction the following month, I got my cashback

I got cashback for the last subscription I did this month

your phone 5G is the true 5G but you see that one on the MTN ODU it's 5G NSA. Don't expect any much improvement, it's just 4G++ 😃 and remember speed is capped at 100mbps

Mafab communications (Mcom) have 5G SA in some parts of Abuja and I think Lagos too. Their 5G coverage is very limited.

This is my review for does that say that it not possible to change from esim to physical sim for the MTN ODU


I went to the closest MTN office close to me , I just told them simple things

I want to do welcome back for my line

I didn't tell them if it esim or MTN ODU


I filled form, paid, within 2 hours, it has started working

I inserted it in my zlt x30 mifi ( you can DM me to get yours) , it didn't work at first

I just changed the IMEI to that of the MTN ODU , and it was blazing fast


Have attached my mtn dashboard to show that my esim has not been working

Okay. I tested most of the popular ones and none has any 5G SA bands. If you select 5G SA only on such devices as routers, you get no signal. Zero.

You'd know when you select that 5G SA. You won't get any signal at all. In other countries with true 5G, you can use the same router to get true feeling of 5G.

Imagine that some 4G perform better than some 5G in most of the local ISPs here.

Interesting. So it might actually be that the swap portal for ODUs is not available to normal Sim reg agents.

Yes, Mafab(Mcom) is the third entity with 5G license in Nigeria. If you recall correctly a few years back, there was a controversy over an unknown firm that NCC granted 5G license over Airtel. Mafab was actually the second firm to be given a 5G license after MTN, but because they had no capacity to deploy 5G, it took them until after Airtel had gotten their own 5G license and deployed before they could deploy, albeit very limited. Mcom is the only one with 5G SA

And you believe that nonsense? Even if they want to increase their ODU price, they will only match MTN's own price. It will be suicidal of them to price theirs over MTN's own. The whole promo thing was never a promo. They simply couldn't lower their price after hiking it to 40k and MTN introducing theirs at 30k, so they decided to call it a promo.

Yes, the esim for MTN ODU sim can be swapped. Though it has a restriction placed on it. But every MTN connect shop manager has the access to swap such line. In MTN services centers, all permanent staff and some contract CCRs have the access too.

The problem is most Nigerians don't know their right. No mtn staff can refuse to swap your line, whether it's an ODU, esim or whatever. If they try to deny you your line, raise hell in that office and petition NCC. As long as your biometric data is on a line and it's verified with NIN, MTN can't deny your request for a swap.

[quote author=uniquetechng post=140334437][/quote]This is just telling you that the router supports 5G SA, it doesn't mean that the network supports 5G SA

Please .... Will the Airtel ODU sim and subscription works inside the x25pro Airtel nomal router ?

Please somebody should give me a genuine answer before i make financial mistake 😭

It works.

NSEstudent:
Most of the ISPs are foreign companies. I think that's what he wanted to clarify.

Did you later test the MTN ODU sim with other MTNN routers you have?
Both failed. Didn't work on MTN 5G mifi and MTN 5G Router
Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by NSEstudent: 12:31am On Aug 15
emmyskies:

Omo, grin

That's very strange o.


But it corroborates what Wahab said. So assuming you have X30 or paragon unlocked X25pro with IMEI change feature, you would have changed the IMEI to that of the ODU and test again.

Thanks for the test.
