Incompetence of the highest order,
If they fail in providing sim after launching, only God knows what else they will forget to do.

This Ntel will prove to be the worst, mark my word!
they will forget to print recharge pin/card

The new NTEL is reminiscent of the old MTEL and NITEL, it is inefficient , run by professionally incompetent scumbaggs and will ultimately fail like its predecessors. angry

The only trustworthy 4g network in the country is SMILE. grin

What patience is the OP talking about.

Most people looking for NTEL sim are all ready subscribers on other networks.

So what's special

Since Ntel launched its 4G LTE network services in Lagos and Abuja, lots of folks have been trooping to their offices to acquire their SIMs and have a new test of 4G LTE lightening browsing and download speed services.

But it seems all effort to do so have proved abortive and Ntel services for now still remain a mirage.

For those that have since reserved their Ntel special number and waiting to claim it at the launch of Ntel services have also not been able to do so.

Now after due observation, we were able to come up with the most likely reason why Ntel SIMs are still scarce.

Remember at Ntel launching, Ntel promises that first 100,000 subscribers will be getting free on-net calls for life and also free 3 months of data services.

Now, you shouldn’t expect Ntel after promising all that, to throw up their SIMs in the air just like that.

The delivery of Ntel SIMs have to be logistically planned in order to forestall some ugly incidence that might erupt if everybody was allowed to rush and pick the SIM in order to be among the first 100,000 subscribers that will be benefiting from such offer.

So at this point too, you should expect to pay some little price before you can be a partaker in the offer, and I believe the waiting time is part of the price that Abuja and Lagos residence are currently paying.

Finally, remember that nothing good (awoof) comes that easy, so be little more patient as Ntel work out their final logistics modalities before rolling out their SIMs to ensure maximum safety in crowd control.

<b>Their service is only for people in lagos and Abuja for now and they plan giving free on-net calls for life for first 100000 people that first Activate there sim, so I ask what about those not staying within this two states and need to Activate there's to enjoy the same benefit? </b>

Up till now my national ID card is yet to be available since 2010 despite registering for the first type before it was terminated by the same federal government that initiated the second National ID program which I registered in, but they keep responding with the same old "please check back in x-month time" for as long as you keep checking.

I've been wondering myself. It is a Uc browser thing and tbf it doesn't add any value to pictures, rather it makes it look childish. I wonder why people keep using it.

I disagree with your statement.

From history Etisalat did same and systematically remove subscribers from call n credit for life by introduced easy click,unknowingly to many migrate from easy starter to easy click void all already promised goodies.So therefore first 100,000 subscribers blah blah no hold water.

They are not ready for now expect them earlier may.

[b]That was just a marketing gimmick to make it look like they launched on 08/04 which is in rhyme with their number 0804.[/b] shocked[color=#990000][/color]
greenhulk:
Correct, we are terrible at organizing things. There is no need to boast they are online close to 2 weeks ago and up till now no sim cards no customer support, no website, no office... It is very very terrible way to start. If a foreign company comes and do a better job we will all be screaming that they are ripping us up. This is the same thing hitv did when they took the premiership right from Dstv and then after 2 years what happened? They went down due to poor management and the same dstv that we all hate are still the ones bringing us live football.

The bottom line is ntel are NOT READY. Them claiming to launch on April 8th is a BIG FAT LIE, that was just a marketing gimmick to make it look like they launched on 08/04 which is in rhyme with their number 0804. What bothers me though is when avcompany starts with lies, I wonder what other lies they have in their closet.

I don't agree with you. It is all about incompetence and inefficiency. I would have agreed with you only if delaying selling the SIM would make them and the eventual subscribers forget about the promise. But since they have to fulfil the promise, [if they are sincere] you can't hinge the delay on their obligation to offer their first 100,000 subscribers free on-net calls for life and also free 3 months of data services.

If delaying sellling the SIM would make them not fulfil their promise, then you are right!
