i dont know if i should buy only the sim whether they can collect only 3k for this sub plus the sim

Only SIM is 8k... Swift runner comes with 20GB all day @ same price on Jumia...

The device just work with any usb port... kiss connect through WiFi and you are good to go...

Or remove the SIM to another device that supports band 40

Swift has an unlimited plan(swift merit plus) . This plan costs 3k and you get 3gb + unlimited browsing from 10pm-7am every single day of the subscription (1 month).

I'm picking up my swift router coz of this to test and see if it's worth it. I'm after the unlimited browsing at night grin
any idea if this plan would work on an old sim? cos I'm picking one up today

Definitely it would work..... As long as it's a swift sim card. I've had my swift router since 2014. Dumped it last year July. Picked it up yesterday and it's still functioning.

thanks for the quick reply. were you able to successfully subscribe to the merit plan, if yes, how did you go about it?

I haven't subscribed buh I tried subscribing yesterday.
Had to call their customer care coz I couldn't see the merit plan on the list of service plans available to switch to. So the customer care representative just changed the plan I was on before (family plan - 34gb, 5pm-8am weekdays and 24/7 weekends and public holidays) to the merit plan.
So the merit plan appears on my dashboard like it was the plan I was using before. If I wanna subscribe now, I just have to click on the renew button and I'm good to go.

It's good for streaming and downloadß, did not Try gaming oo

In other news got my swift runner activated today..

There are times i am browsing on swift and i lose signal, i have to wait a while or restart for it to return. Does this happen to everyone or do i need to change my device (E5776)?

Other peeps using swift can contribute pls.
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by miki2014: 11:30am On Oct 27, 2017
The sales Rep is wrong. When you have the weekend plan, it automatically switches over on the weekend and reverts to the normal plan on weekdays.
tivta:


Bro, did you personally pause the weekend plan? If so how did you do it? I currently use two glo Sims. One for daily browsing and another for weekend browsing. The sales rep said I can't use two different plans on the same line.

The lower the dB value is, the stronger and better quality the signal. Full bars normally correspond to -40dB or less.

Update on Ntel: As earlier stated Ntel streams youtube flawlessly, but after connecting to my Android box, I can even get 1min viewing time on mobdro or Kodi. Utterly annoying to say the least.
Had to switch back to spectranet to enjoy my matches.
Ntel thanks for the free data but ur network sucks.....

What Android box do you use and where is your area?
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Nobody: 1:32am On Oct 29, 2017
Ntel is superb in my Area o... Uploads and download... All are superb... Only one problem is frequent disconnection. Though dns Managed it a little bit... Am on 5k night plan monthly... The thing is just unlimited and the actual time is 10-5 but the real speed is from 1-4

Will try the 12k5 or try 5knight and just normal 2500 data for day
