internationalman:
This is what I get whenever I try to do it with useless glo line.

Glo na network? I use them too, I had to chat with GTB on twitter. They were the ones who told me I had to recharge my line. Imagine the rubbish...

Na mtn worse pass. I noticed early last year. Whn I call the customer care they said the service is not free.

My wife is also experiencing it on her Glo line. They charge her N10 per transact.

emmy9500:
MTN does not charge

Hello Nairalanders
I noticed something that has been a source of concern to me....
The aim of this thread is to find out whether it is a normal thing which I never noticed in the past or I'm the only one affected.

My account numbers are connected to my AIRTEL line, I receive alerts and use USSD code for online banking on the line. Recently I noticed that each time I want to do any transaction using USSD code I would be notified that I have insufficient funds. The fact that AIRTEL is not my main line, I barely recharge it coupled with the fact that their tariff is higher than the other line I use.
So each time I see the notification, I would recharge before doing the transaction. I assumed I just needed to have airtime and that I won't be charged for transacting.

However, I just realized that AIRTEL has been charging me #10 each time I use USSD code for any form of transaction including transfer, airtime recharge, account balance enquiry etc.

Fellow Nairalanders.... Are you experiencing the same thing on Airtel or any other network?

Transactions on the USSD platform come at a cost and that cost is shared. Or are you expecting to enjoy free services without paying for them?

the banks has nothing to do with USSD codes is another way for network providers to make extra cash on d sides, I had to call 9mobile customer care Dats wen I got Dis clarification.....

I noticed it too, airtel are criminals.

phr0nesis:

Wrong
I had to switch my bank line from etisalat to MTN because of these charges. With zero Naira, I transact with my GTB account.

Did u read well before responding? Did u see the part I said MTN is zero naira or u just decided to skip

I am also using airtel and the same thing happens to me

HarryDuce:
For real. Me thinks the bank from which the transaction is carried out also matters. I use my Airtel line with my diamond account and I'm not charged for anything. Be it recharge or anything of the sort.

Sorry GtBank charges, not Airtel.
I called them and the customer care said they(GtB) charges the said ammount on that platform. They have a lousy reason though...

hmm

Tomoyayi:


Oga, MTN don't charge

i dey use mtn with fcmb and diamond both dey collect money 2 transfer not frm d bank oooh!

Jay95:

I don't think so!
I use MTN with First bank...No charges whatsoever

i dey use mtn with fcmb and diamond both dey collect money 2 transfer not frm d bank oooh!

mayze:

My eyes saw MTN instead of Airtel in the part where you mentioned 4 Naira. Sorry for the mistake
