The New Airtel Time Based Data Bundle Is A SCAM!!!!!!! by TheObserver(op): 6:43am On Oct 12, 2015
I activated the 1 hour data bundle on my airtel sim and immediately, my credit was deducted. The funny thing thing was that the internet indicator on my phone dissapeared immediately!
I have been browsing with this same sim and have never experienced such before. Immediately!! And the one hour went by like that. I couldn't use 1kilobyte of the bundle. Airtel, I am dissapointed. I checked my phone later in the day and saw that the internet was back. Why are we like this in this country huh Please people, don't fall for it! These people are scammers.

Airtel has always been a scam when it comes to Internet.

Once u hear Airtel & next u hear Internet, u run as fast as u can away, it's a waste of time, money & energy.

Indeed airtel na big scam, I did the 1500 naira for 3gig to use on my pc, any time I try to connect through 3G or wcdma it will refuse to connect but when on edge it will connect.
I don't seem to understand this trick that airtel is trying to perform on me, how can I be using edge to browse on a laptop. Naija I hail, I rest my case.

I was using mtn in school before, I travelled home for break where mtn network is poor, no 3G connection, same for glo, I had no other option than to subscribe to airtel as they are the only network with strong 3G, but I was shocked with what I experienced.

Lol... I already relegated my Airtel sim to my wallet... Its only useful cos I used it to register my bank accounts, it used to be my main line when it was still Zain, but since Airtel took over, I no just understand them again!
