Bro I dnt tink so....check ur balance send 2 to 131....ur 1.5gb activates durin d day n deactivates at 9pm, n dats wen ur 3gb stats.....at d moment my 1.5gb is remainin 900mb while my 3gb is remainig 2.89gb......and for all seekin to kno more abt mtn nite plan, here is how it wrks once agn......load 2500k, send 102 to 131.......u get 4.5gb. 1.5gb cn b used durin d day; till 9pm.

Someone should please tell me more about this Mtn N2,500 for 4.5GB data plan. Is it really divided into 1.5Gig daytime and 3gig at night? Or does it work 24hours?.



Yes it is divided. In all na stil 24hrs as long as ur 1.5gb doesnt finish

Its like MTN may be the way forward with Airtel behaving like this.

1stUnique:

if u mean its cheap because they re not many network provider there.. Then thats awesome because browsin should be high cos of d monopoly. Bt its nt so. Isnt dat a nice one.
. They hv 3 ntwks MTN, Zain and Sudani 1 all on a 3.75g ntwk Mtn is d cheapest @ #750 for 2.5gb.. Sudani 1 is #1500 for 5gb den #3000 for 10gb. No 1 looks for tweak there. The president made d providers bring their prices low or leave d country.

Graviton: Is someone going to answer my question?

What much GB does the NGN 2,500 night plan give you?

...and does it work by day?
My guy, ur question has been answered several times. Read thru the thread properly.
@Op
which 'hear*tell' are we talking about anyway? is it the one that takes 2days to download data as light as 14mb? Frustrating network...'hear*tell'. Thank goodness for mtn line; though expensive but more reliable. smh for 'hear*tell'.

Bro could you break it down for me? what i mean does it mean if i subscribe by sending 102 to 131 and after the deduction of N2500 from my airtime, i will be able to use 1,5G in the daytime and the 3G in the night time?
Thanks for the abticipated feedback from you.

At OP , Thanks for this post. instead of this so called lousy network providers to come up with good data packages, they are busy planning on how to block android users from using BB subscription. Cant they just make this data services a level platform for all smart phone users? What is so special about BB phones now that BBM has been made for android phones? Mark my words TEL-AIR has just announced their OBITUARY by stopping BB subscription. on android phones.

godwinony:
that's wrong bro..the 1.5gig must first be exhausted before the 3gig starts counting.. I'm using the plan and on my 3gig now..it works during the day.

Very correct. . . . .
Re: Airtel BIS To Stop Working On Non BB Devices by seunlayi(m): 12:23pm On Dec 01, 2013
I have seen various threads related to this without specific demand. This is the time we have to wake up and confront our service providers for all their exploitation especially in this area of internet connectivity. Despite the fact that the service that most of them especially the so called best among them are giving to us are substandard, this network are very stingy with the little they gave to us when we subscribe for internet. We should note that an average BB subscriber get average of 2-3 gig for around 1,000 Naira whereas others are expected to cough out 4-6 Thousand naira for the same volume of data which is unfair. I am not saying this because of Airtel new deadline to some of their subscribers and I don't use cheat to browse But I think I normal person should realize that this exploitation is too much.

It is time for this so called providers to do something i.e. increasing by more than 200%, the volume of data allocated to all their crappy data plans. All the major stakeholders should not pretend, they should act now or else they too will be disgrace when eventually, the price of data fall as it happened to our telephony service when a former minister and now Senate president send something in the past that telephone service is meant only for the rich but right now in his lifetime, the youngest of my children have more than 2 telephone numbers.

Young IT expert are not suppose to spent their precious time looking for a way to hack a network service in other to enjoy cheap internet if the charges are moderate.

LET US ALL WAKE UP

kingphemy: I don't understand this o.

I subscribe for the 1500 for 2gb BIS. After confirmation I immediately send DEACTIVATE 440. My data is still intact which I have been using for almost a month.

If as airtel said I can't use the BIS tweak on android, will I still be given data if I repeat the above procedure?

If yes, that means the data can be use on android, effectively bypassing the BIS thingy.

This makes sense but maybe if you deactivatr now ur mb will be gone.

It was a hard pill to swallow.
I felt depressed.
Shit happens!
Etisalat did it, Glo did it, MTN did theirs, now it's Airtel's turn..
There is hope sha,
There always a way out.
GLO is rocking already, Etisalat is gearing up too..
I still love Airtel though, i'm keeping it.

adewasco2k:

I think you will get it if you chill and read it again though the post sounds crappy when reading it too grin

This is it:


Plan name: MTN Night Plan (9PM-6AM)
Price: ₦ 2500
Data allocation: 4.5GB (3GB + 1.5GB bonus)
Duration: 30days

Note: The bonus data of 1.5Gb will be the one to be first used up and the bonus data will work 24hrs, but after exhausting the 1.5GB you will be left with 3Gb which will now ONLY work from 9PM to 6AM

now you get abi make i add picture? grin


if this true, then i guess it's d best plan for Android for now.
Re: Airtel BIS To Stop Working On Non BB Devices by haibe(m): 12:43pm On Dec 01, 2013
shosky1794: I think people with active subscription will still enjoy their data after that date. The only thing is one won't be able to use the data on a new subscription after that date.

What if i subscribe today and I was given 240MB of data. After this, I deactivate the BB plan. My data will sure still be intact. Thereafter I subscribe to a 10MB plan. Are you now telling me that I won't be able to use the rest of my data after exhausting the 10MB? I don't think so.

What I have been pondering on toooo
Re: Airtel BIS To Stop Working On Non BB Devices by LanskyJ(m): 12:47pm On Dec 01, 2013
But why in the world would AIRTEL make such decision My 6gb subscription still have like 3.5 GB left to expire Jan 25.... This is serious fckup..... AIRTEL can't say they aren't making more out of none BB devices using the subscriptions than even those using the BB's itself..
