treach: Wats wit porting, just get all d network. If u port u go regret after wards. Naija pple be wise...

Egypt ports (since 2008), South Africa ports (since 2006), even Ghana ports (since 2011)...
Look at these countries...

In Adittion, IMHO, If there was porting, we wouldn't need to buy so many phones in the first place, and these dual sim cards low grade phones would not have made a fortune in the Nigerian market

I was thinking of porting from mtn to glo but since they reduced their BIS data from 3gig to 1gig and mtn slashed theirs. I'm sticking with Mtn and Etisalat.

I HATE GLO WITH A PASSION. ITS THE WORST NETWORK IN NIGERIA & AFRICA!! THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE 3G BUT WHAT THEY HAVE IS 0.5G. GLO SHOULD BE PORTED OUT OF NIGERIA. STRAIGHT INTO THE SAHARA DESERT WHERE THEY BELONG!! I MEAN, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM A FIRM RULED BY A RANTING, ARROGANT, SELF SERVING MEGALOMANIAC!

am tired of PDP...i tink am portin to APC or MILITARY RULE...lol

L brasi: Abeg I fit port from Naija to yankee?

.

Yes oooooo

This porting tinz wahala o! Many people will be calling service providers to complain of overcharging. How do you explain to my mother as to why she was charged 30k to call an MTN number that is on her Family and Friends list? Wahala loading....

This is a golden opportunity. Even this problem of multiple-sim China phones that pack up in less than six months will become a thing of the past. I wil ever remain loyal to Etisalat. Reason, FLAT CHARGE TO ALL NETWORKS. They only collect #25.00 as access fee, then #12.00 to every network. Upon this, i receive 15mb euery week after recharging with #200.00 and 1mb daily after deduction of the access fee. Also every 3mins call from other networks gives me instant 1min free call(30sec to other networks, 30secs to Etisalat) .
Besides, the network is relatively ok. Easy access to net.

Imanuelle: don't forget mtel sha

mtel stil dey

That you have 4 sim doesn't mean you uncle, aunt, oga, biz associate, pastor, lecturer or client will have all 4 of those numbers in there phone book as well. There is always a first line or preferred number you have that is known to many people than the other once. If that particular number or network is charging you more or rendering poor service which you have not been able to diss because of the important of that number. Porting is the best remedy that you have got to switch that line/number to a beta network (if there is any) As for me, my most circulated number is mtn but am porting it to etisalat because i do much of my browsing with etisalat and some times i may not be in the mood of carrying two phone but it is certain that my callers will not miss me. I will also do same with the etisalat line.

MTN will be the biggest loser in the porting game. Their network is overcrowded and the poorest.

slimyem: lmao..
Cray!!!

Abi make I kuku port to Slimyem? Abeg Slim,how your nightwork,sorry network service be like?

There is a difference between intent and reality; many Nigerians when faced with the paper requirements for porting will simply change mind. In any case some of us have more than 3 numbers so its simply a case of recharging the number that that is more important or efficient.

sanchez4eva: Glo to etisalat
Glo BIS used to be 3gig now it's 1gig...what the mess am I going to do with 3gig for 1400? Not enough for my p0rn

Right choice, etisalat is 1k for unlimited data

I will give spoon to mtn and PORT to AIRTEL, then fork to glo and plate to etisalat. That's my porting plan.

Glo BIS used to be 3gig now it's 1gig...what the mess am I going to do with 3gig for 1400? Not enough for my p0rn

Right choice, etisalat is 1k for unlimited data with call rates as low as 12naira/min to any network when BIS is active

Ain't going anywhere. Team AIRTEL all the way

Will Mobile Number Portability ‘WORK’ In Nigeria? I Don’t Think So!

That's not true. Everybody that have my main number always reach me on it day or night but, I choose which network to use when contacting them as a result of the several choices at my disposal. So to me, only businesses will benefit more on MNP not individual subscriber because, in the actual sense, all of them are the same.

if you oga at the top has your number in his phone book. Will you like to call him wit any other number. Perhaps some strict ppl dont usually pick calls that the dont know. That is the reason you have to port your main line to your prefered choice of network while maintaining that same number.

I am not porting. Dual sim phone still dey market.

An0nimus: I am not porting. Dual sim phone still dey market.

Lol.

Don't be naive!

Expect massive porting from MTN to Etisalat unless MTN do something about how the thief my money.

Looool.. Smart way to take a poll. Always knew Etisalat would be the biggest gainers. I would proly port to Etisalat from Airtel too buh I wana see if they (Eti) would handle the pressure well and wont breakdown. Its once in 90days so u gotta be smart bawt it

Like if you are porting from Mr.Biggs to iya basira

Ok so I use glo number and want to port to Etisalat because Glo reduced their blackberry BIS data from 3B to 1GB, but Etisalat is unlimited and way cheaper
Glo has a better network coverage where I live, and its far better than Etisalat network coverage(Network Mast). Let's say I then port to Etisalat and I subscribe to Etisalat BIS., Will I be using Glo network coverage or Etisalat network coverage?(Mast I mean) ?

chuks315: Don't be naive!

Thank you very much.
