Lol. Even girls wey dem no dey approach dey answer.

Lol. All business deals suspended till Monday. Dollar now 335

EAbaba:
Lol make una foegive am he wount do that again

EAbaba, abeg i want FIFA17. How far nah?

didymario7:
Yea GTB now refunds based on the prevailing BM rate. Both PayPal and MasterCard.

That's great news, people have fought them wella.

macbeyland:
GTB doesn't refund in 199 per USD. My mastercard is linked to PayPal and whenever I get a refund, gtb pays me at the black market exchange rate.

Then they have changed, or maybe that's for PayPal refunds only. I don't know. Good to know tho

vanchi:
Fast for downloading but the ping time is not good for online gaming

Lol. Ping time is bad because Ntel haven't optimized their network for Lagos. It shows as if all Lagos users are in Abuja. Look at the picture. I live in Lagos, how can i be 36Km from Abuja servers and 500Km+ from Lagos servers. Something is wrong, till Ntel fixes this, we won't be getting speeds like Abuja. See photo below.

Dat said, it was working 3 times better than my airtel in terms of Latency especially. Lol

DrEngrSk:
please explain spectranet unlimited

I believe on since Spectranet plans, from 12am to 6am, u have unlimited downloads.

TCD:
Hello all Sell your payoneer dollars now to me at 290 ..CBN has floated the naira, dont be caught unawares. Black market will be history now anybody can buy from the bank. Its a free market now determined by demand and supply and bankers will exchange for way cheaper and sell at a profit. this is your chance to cash out. Contact me on my signature now

True that CBN did that. But i don't know about selling him all ur dough

dihalao:
Hello house i am expecting a refund from paypal. I made a payment and i was charged @N341.54/$ (on 6-6-16). If this money is to be refunded back to my Ecobank acct, would it be refunded at that same rate? Or at whatever the new rate is? Or at the official 199/$ .

Is there anyone who has gone through this process before? I would like to know pls. Thanks

AdaAnambra:
it is going to be at the official rate

I don't know about nowadays, but all the times i got refund from Ecobank, they refunded it at the prevailing rate. If it's still like that, you might get even more than you paid. Lol. Happened to me more than once on Ecobank.
Keep in mind that it's been at least a year i used Ecobank to purchase tho.
If it was GTB, Access and i think Diamond Bank. Prepare for 199 lol.

@jeffy1206 reception got better around my area yesterday. Before i used to have mostly 1 bar but now it NEVER goes below 2 bars. And my speed has increased from 2Mbps to 12Mbps. Been downloading at 1.5 to 1.7MB/s since yesterday. It's NOWHERE near what i should be getting when reception is perfect but it's ALOT better than the 100KB to 200KB i was getting. This is even in my room, as i mentioned before. I get the worst reception in my room. I didn't even test other places. I Also got 4bars for a bit, something I've never seen at home. See the screenshots.

redrobin:
Does ntel work in unilag

Guy i live around 2nd Gate environs.
As far as i know...
-The closest site to 2nd Gate is Adekunle area
-The closest site to 1st Gate is Chemist bus stop area.

And if I'm closer to Adekunle and get 2 bars and from just outside 1st Gate i get 2 bars. My best guess is that you in the dead center will have 0. I don't think you should get it. Not yet at least

Also, network got relatively better yesterday, but still i don't think you'll have reception. But, i could be wrong you know.

pierrenwob:
I have collected my Ntel SIM in Lagos, Slot Shop on Akin Adesola. Paid 3k for 1 week bundle unlimited data. I am using my Spectranet unlocked myfy. The speed is the best of all the possible internet service in Lagos.

I have used it in both V.I and Gbagada and the speed is super fast. I already used 31g of data.

Lol. Only 31 then u don't download well. Btw, please do a speed test let's see. Get the speed test app from playstore/app store.

Jeffy1206:
no I just had it activated yesterday

Then it's reception. You have 1 bar, i have one bar. We are getting about the same speed. It's not rocket science mate.

In my house sef, using iPhone 6. 0 bars. No signal. Emergency calls only. So it means, reception it terrible. When i went to 4G full reception area. I was getting 27times what i get at home. So yh.

Pangea:
Maybe there is no network in my end
I've tried it with lenovo a6000 plus, Mi 4g, and letv 1s
All 4g phones
Nothing
Planning to try my iPad now

Just tried the iPad now,
No service.
How can I return the sim card?
Abi my 10k don enter voice mail?

Nope call them. There is a way they can put the subscription on hold until you have reception in ur area. Call them

Jeffy1206:
they have covered my area wella... Sometimes I get 4bar sef.

Well, i had 1Mbps, 2 MAX at home. When i went to a properly covered area a few mins later... i was getting 27Mbps.

So dats 200KB/s on 2 bars vs 3.3MB/s on 4 bars. That's a serious mismatch right there.

Btw, are u off bundle. I heard something say it's slower when you are off bundle. I don't know.

Abuleoshi:
Around Chemist Bus stop... I noticed when I move close to the base station, I get better speed on speed test.

This is almost exactly the speed i got around Chemist too. Lol

Pangea:
@Stanley08
I just bought my own sim today and I couldn't get it to work in idimu, Egbeda.
Saw some 4g networks under the manual settings
621 26 4g
621 27 4g
621 24 4g
Which of these is ntel or the network does not exist in my area?

It should find it automatically. Chances are, your area isn't covered yet.

jeffy1206 bruv! Reception is bad in your area. You are managing reception from somewhere far away. Just like me. When they cover ur area, you'll get mad speeds. Your is even faster than mine. The same 1 - 2 bars. When u get 3 to 4 bars, expect something alot different.

And yh, I'm in Lagos not Abuja. Cheers!

Eghosa1:
Still needing PayPal this morning. Contact Me if you've got for sale at a favourable rate.

Scammers, AGAIN KEEP OFF.

Scammers Association of Nairaland (SAN). See fresh meat oh!!!!

xhamel89:
That is exactly my question.....Thanks

Cheers.

dustmalik:
No one can unlock it, except Franklin, the maker.

I have the same modem also. I have contacted Franklin Wireless US. Waiting for a response.

justi4jesu:
22 what?
Tell him to multiply by 95 Naira instead.

AED is Drhams. I mistakenly posted Rands rate. My bad

seangy4konji:
Good evening house.

Please how much would 11,200 AED &48,000 AED be in Nigerian Naira?


Thanks in advance

Multiply by 22.

xhamel89:
Thanks bro but how do i enjoy the 90 days free unlimited as an early subscriber?

Well, ur info is wrong. No one is giving anyone 90 days unlimited free of charge. You get unlimited for the first 90 days. AS LONG AS YOU PAY FOR A SUBSCRIPTION.

After 90 days then the 3GB during peak periods fair usage applies.

Bottomline, you MUST pay to browse. Cheers!

dustmalik:
Your ping indicates that you are closer to ntel servers as compared to users in Abuja. In Abuja, you can't get lower than 21ms. I believe once ntel fully launches in Lagos, users in Lagos will get better speed.

Yep.i think so too. Still shows my location as Abuja. Maybe that will be corrected when they launch in Lagos.

xhamel89:
What speed are u getting, whats the price of sim and activation.?

Speed is bad in my house. 7Mbps MAX! And dats Mb not MB. bits not bytes. Divide by 8 to get bytes value.
Regardless i have only 2 bars at home, sometimes one. Went to visit my friend today, 5 bars at his area and i got 26Mbps. Almost 27. I think this is about the fastest that can be recorded in Lagos at this time.

Sim is free. U only need to buy a plan 1K for 2days. 3K for 1 week or 10K for 1 month. All plans are TRULY UNLIMITED.

xhamel89:
Bring the Hummer Jeep and i will unlock it...lol

I ignored the guy's question because the first thing i said on this thread is that Smile Franklin R701 and R702 cant be unlocked.

Lol. U just want to enjoy free Hummer. No oh!

Test taken at exactly this location

14 Chemist Bus Stop and environs by Solanke street, Off Sobande street, Bariga.

4 bars of 4G reception. 26 down, 6 Up.

greenhulk:
Still doesn't mean they have started operation in lagos. U can buy it through back door but u cannot complain to anyone if it doesn't work in ur area. Their twitter and Facebook pages say they are not in lagos yet.

Yep! Been using it since yesterday and it is underwhelming compared to what Abuja peeps are getting. But i will not complain till they launch officially in Lagos.

1kinggy:
Can you unlock Smile4G franklin mifi?

Lol. If he unlock am, i go buy am Hummer!
If i hear!

em3r4ld:
You can contact me on bbm:2BE8A471. Will sell to u at the rate of 8k. Huawei universal Mifi

Guy. I have exactly these 2 modems. E5331 and E5332.. They are not 4G nah. I even want to sell one of mine.
