Dial *315# to see if your device is approved for use in Nigeria by NCC or if it will blocked by NCC in 30 Days

Nigerian Communications Commission sent a broadcast earlier today about this.

If your device is approved, you'll get the feedback in the pop-up in the attached image

Now that our devices are not approved what must we do? Pls help

Let them block loan shakes from calling us with fake internet phone numbers and bots.

If they can't prevent this, then these civil servants can block any device.

They should shut up with their false threat. Stop bluffing.

I was so disappointed all my phone are approved. I wanted to see how they would enforce it... Of cause depending on the willingness of the network provider to help them implement the rules.


I just hate government departments that show up by 9am and vanish by 1pm for 30 years and collect pension without guilt.

So what will happen to phones that are not verified? So you expect Nigerians to start saving money to buy a verified phone in spite of this hard economy. Film go happen for b this country because I'm so sure a lot of phones won't be verified.

As I type am for my phone, it said "contact your device manufacturer for more details"

Abegi wetin e mean?

Wahala mara bamamgbo.

Update: I called my contact in NCC, he stated that there maybe two alleged reasons:

1, mass surveillance
2, crush the economic might of the Igbos in the electronics market and granting it whole to the Chinese.
