Get the hell off. I did 3G subbed. Got 3072MB plus 889MB as welcome bonus, it's a new sim. Stop supporting crap. Go to their facebook and twitter and see angry mob for yourself. Guess you work for airtel. Better tell them to sit up. I've used all my social media power and influence to let people know of tgis atrocity commited.
Please seun, Laslasticlala, let this be on front page so they could see it cos more people will testify and it would lead to it being resolved on time.

Lmao. Work for Airtel? Even if them give me work, I no go collect. Personally, I have not experienced such sha. One thing I have noticed is that even intelligent people just put blames on service providers; I am not saying they are infallible though.
One thing for you to check is your data cycle. I can see that it says May 22 - June 21 there. May 22 was a day before you created the post, which means the data you used prior to May 22 was not included in the 659 mb data count, which means in the long run, you used more data which is included in the previous month's cycle count. It is just very very simple thinking. If you really want to know how much data you consume, use the Internet Speed Meter app. It gives you a day by day breakdown of your data usage.

Before now, na so I dey para for MTN, but I later found out that Playstore apps were updating in background without my knowledge. Since then, I haven't had data zapping problems and combined with that Internet Speed Meter app, I can track my usage.

I’ve made up my mind, this is the last airtel data I’m paying for. Everything op said is true, the last I paid for was hardly used before they told me 500mb remaining . How ?

Na Glo worst pass.

I sub for their their binge data of 1g @N300. I wanted to use it for NPOWER Agro Beneficiary Verification, I was disappointed.

The page opened, and after filling the pages, I tried uploading the passport when it got stuck at that.

And fiiaaamm, 1gb is gone!!!! Just like that!

Oga, I'm not dumb. Stop over analyzing. I must not post on nairaland same day it happened. I could have posted 10day later my claim is still valid. I've used the phone with other sim cards and didn't experience any discrepancies. I know my way around the data usage settings. It's annoying how you assume the fault is from menot knowing how much I used.

Laslasticlala, seun, mukina2 and Dominique, nairaland is great as it offers us platform to express our displeasure and for world to see.

Airtel has been scamming us through data deductions. From twitter to instagram and facebook, everyone is complaining and no one is listening.

Airtel removes almost 3 times your data usage from your balance. If you check your settings, you will see the data amount you have used but it's almost twice the one that would be removed from your account.
Attached is receipt. I subbed and got 3.9Gb of data, imagine, I used only about 650MB, check the balance airtel is giving? Airtel says I've used over 1G
I've been using glo and mtn and the phone recored of data usage is ALWAYS the same with what they deduct and give me as balance. Pls kindly help us out!
I have been using airtel for 5year now and haven't had that issuf I advice u call their customer care and findout why

I used the airtel for 16yrs. I have retrieve the SIM for about 3x.

But the people are never sincere. We have corporate robbers in Nigeria.

Call their agents, so so sorry for that, we have informed the appropriate quarters, bla bla bla

I paid 1500 for 3gb on May 24th, no videos, updates or downloads took place on my phone but it’s remaining 50mb this morning. If airtel isn’t a criminal network then I wonder what is.
I first noticed their criminality months ago so decided to pay 200mb for 3 days and like clockwork, they send a message 50mb remaining on second day evening though I never used the data at all, just wanted to catch them red handed. Tried it multiple times, same thievery or when they collect as much as 100 naira per day for FaceTime charges ? FaceTime that I haven’t even activated on my phone since I bought it years ago Funny people, they take advantage because they know we’re not protected by our government
Re: Help! Airtel Nigeria Is A Scam by coronavirus19: 1:51pm On May 31, 2020
angry angry Seriously Airtel right now is crap.
1.) When I confirmed these people are purposely doing this shit is with the bonus data, Buy airtime of #200 naira, if ur sim is still under smartconnect luckily for u, they would give u an acclaimed bonus of 119.9mb, trust me switch on ur data cycle and watch closely, u wouldn't use uo to 50mb before they would remove the bonus What kind of cheating is that. Why lie to people's face. Iswear na God go punish airtel and their owners

Loved how you schooled him. A lot of people me inclusive just blame service providers. I was on Spectranet's neck last month. Apparently I didn't measure my data well. Had to use Airtel to browse for a while and the data my friend sent to me lasted for a while too.
