Someone just told me you have to have a Current account to get PTA. How true is this? I am sceptical about opening another current account.

i got this info from @bigfido and others some time back. They recommended simple mobile or T-mobile, where u can call US, mexico and canada, which comes with 1GB. She also recommend downloading an app call Boss Revolution. load $10 on it and you are guaranteed close to 80mins call to naija on it.

Someone recently mentioned Ultra Mobile to me with free 1000 minutes to Nigeria monthly. Haven't gotten a chance to look into it so I can't confirm it. Check out their website for details.

I am using ultra mobile, the number of minutes u get depends on the plan u going for. I am on the $19 plan per month. It's ok. But get ready for their marketing team to push out ur baby with their persistent calls.

Thanks for clarifying!!! Does anyone even still use landlines in Nigeria? That may be a good idea to get the landline in Nigeria just to benefit from the 1000 free minutes per month.

@gaggle: Too funny!! i totally get what you are saying about those sales folks. They can disturb you with calls, OMG!! I think they get paid by the number of calls they make per day. 10 different people can call the same day undecided

O boy! Getting PTA/BTA is like getting appointment to see Mr President.
I went round UBA, FBN, standard chartered, Access, FCMB & Ecobank today in search of a rare gem, $$$$$$$$$$.
No bi small waka o my fipple !
Not even one of these banks could give me $1 instantly as PTA. One has to apply for at least 5 working days before it can be issued that is if their bid with CBN is successful otherwise "on your own o". See story!!!

Gone are the good oldies when one walks into a bank with naira & walk out with $.
D sufa plenti sha!!!!
For banks where u don't own an account, u've got to open one for sometime before u become eligible to get PTA.
If anyone knows where I can get PTA urgently other than Travelex, pls help a sis!
Anyone in da house who got his/hers instantly or earlier than five working day since the last one or two weeks, pls kindly help me with info on the bank & process.
Thanks


I eventually got pta at sterling bank today at 199naira to a dollar. It was quite an easy process. Settled for British Airways. Fare wasn't such a good deal though. But I got to move now b4 I will overplan and end up giving birth in Nigeria.
