You mite b rite about the sms pass code not being sent. .

When you're about to confirm the number, nd u still notice uve not received the sms, just use the " Resend sms" Option. .

Tried that too, . . it says it has been sent on the site BUT it hasnot been received on the fone

All these people rushing and gushing about without having actually experienced any of the services mentioned is without doubt a sad reality of how deplorable nigeria's telecomm problems have become. However, without sounding condescending, MTN, Zain, Glo and all the other telecomm companies have good reputations and offer quality services internationally. But when they came to NAIJA !!! Na there wahala start. Bribe this, bribe that. No light, no security etc. Etisalat may come to this country with the best of intentions but as other telecomm operators have fallen in the same trap, so shall (i sincerely hope not) they unless stringent measures are taken. However, i sincerely hope that i am proven wrong. Goodluck Etislat and wish you a wonderful stay.

Still waiting for my confirmation jare

Well, i tot the Resend way worked for me' because i had problem registering with a Glo number* but it later went through

i hope this ETISALAT would just be the SAVIOUR we've all been waiting for, MTN is Rubbish 0802 used to be the best but not anymore their services is just too poor nowadays its nothing to write home about and there GPRS is ZERO if ETISALAT offers 3.75G network in Egypt i dont think they should offer anything less and i hope it would be accessible unlike MTN their own 3.5G network na just by mouth i still cannot access it too bad or is there anyone who has benefited from MTN 3.5G services?, i am really having high expectation from this UAE guys make una no fall my hand ooooo

LET THEM COME!!!,when am through with them,they wil fold up and go bck to egypt.

See i don't think its a most that you must put their(sibs) initial number , Try yours(that is if you said it worked as i tot u said anyway) and see what happens(Just maybe they might send the passcode )!!!!

@Mercy4All , I totally agree with you Zain customer Uncare has become unaccessible for the past 2 months they are no longer the best in terms of customers care, too bad. they're no longer customer friendly

Its just for them to send the passcode to your number telling for the nature of reserved number you choose, It could be Standard,Bronze,Silver or Gold,

So you need not worry my guy!!!

Thank u my man. I dey fear for my poor MTN line which used to registered for their reserve no.Make dem no block am jare cus
devil u no is better than angel u dont know his colour.But na wa o for this N5000.00k for their reserve no.We are not in the Middle East with their plenty oil money .Someone should let them know this.In Nigeria,some people salary is even below that N5000.00K.

this etisalat u choose number no de even ring before your call is answered. i hope se na so their line go de connect.

I ain't no prophetess of doom, but I have this feeling they'll end up like the others--after all, they all strted well!

welcome on board

What's all the noise about etisalat sef. It's bullshit.
I utilized their services while in the UAE and i know what i'm talking about. I refuse to subscribe to a telecom company that has religious biasness.
They censor everything you use on the internet in the UAE (yes i know its an arab country blah blah blah, _{with the highest rate of prostitution in the world}).
They even blocked my weightwatchers group until i sent a complain!!
They initially blocked users from using yahoo messenger. You can't even download "skype" because the website is blocked. They force everyone to use their telecom services thereby hindering the usage of free pc to pc calls via the internet.

Okay with regards to the phone calls, crap, I called naija several times and it was always difficult to converse. You might say its from the naija end but i called the U.S and it was just as terrible. There is nothing great about their service.

Don't expect anything spectacular, waste of time, stick with what u already have.

stupid MTN, can't wait 2 throw their filthy line inside the lagoon. Can u imagine they debit me each time i send text msgs without my text being delivered,they do it on several occasions. i threatened them one day that am going 2 drop their line if i dnt get explanations for those actions, d lady rudely said "why did u call when uve already made up your mind" stupid i must say abi??
They shuld go back 2 south africa where they came frm yeye people

A word is enough for the wise? I think the problem they have to face is coming out of glo's shadow, since they have almost same branding with glo(green). Ppl will still mistake them for glo.

@All, the etisalat server was dwn for some hours in d early hrs of today, still down nw. .

Hope dey get back in good time (abi dem don reach d 1st million subscriber base? Even wit out a sim yet!?

Can't wait to throw away their line and pick up etisalat? You better be joking. Stick with what you have. Trust me

Good Idea but Little wrong at the direction
After The line Activated, Your current number will be replaced with 0809.

However i'll advice My fellow Nairalanders to buy New Line be it Glo, Mtn, Zain and so on
Before apply for the Etisalat Numbers Otherwise Your current Number will replaced.

I Have Spoken

My Goodness, My number aint going again after i activated the etisalat Number,

To those who had already activated it, Just Call your current number and hear the voices
See what i hear 'Service unavailable'.


any solution?

Lol, they ain't up to that @ All. .

Replace my current line with etisalats'? Lai Lai**

If the worst come to worst I will head Ova to Celtel office and do a Sim retrieval thing. .

And am Good to go?

So, any1 else got problems with that?

@ youngharry


stop raising false alarms

lol

Na wa for Nigerians o. . .

I am not claiming that Etisalat is the messiah(as I am sure many people are alos not doing) but we are simply being optimistic about their promise & potential. Afterall, isnt that the way we have all welcomed all the others? MTN, Celtel, Glo, Starcomms, Multilinks-Telkom, ZOOMobile, Visafone etc - Imagine Visafone attaining a subscriber base of 1million in 6 months? If we really dig deep, how many of those are VIRGIN mobile fone users? By virgin I mean, never had a fone before - very few I dare say. many have had a mobile fone but maybe want to try out the services, need a second line, want internet access etc. So the rush for Etisalal is just us being Nigerians and wanting to have a feel for the new entrant. This does not mean I will dump my current lines. I dont know about other people but I use my various lines for varying reasons to varying degrees (confused?, dont mind me)

So Etisalat, welcome on board!
