I bought my sim (then mtn) for N20,000. It didn't come easy as there was a super long que then at the mtn Maritime House center along Oshodi/Apapa expressway. It took over 2hrs to eventualy buy the sim. That was in the week the launched their service (I think August 2001 or so). Calls were N50 per min. I had to pay N10k for caller ID. The list recharge card then was N1500. Boy it wasn't easy. Can you imagine that today, same sim card sells for N200 or less. Those guys are mean. |

Nairaland is now something else. One can't even modify his own post to either make corrections or add further comments. I bought my sim (then mtn) for N20,000. It didn't come easy as there was a super long que then at the mtn Maritime House center along Oshodi/Apapa expressway. It took over 2hrs to eventualy buy the sim. That was in the week the launched their service (I think August 2001 or so). Calls were N50 per min. I had to pay N10k for caller ID. The list recharge card then was N1500. Boy it wasn't easy. Can you imagine that today, same sim card sells for N200 or less. Those guys are mean. I forgot to add, I bought an Ericsson T28 phone to go with then for N45,000. Today, same phone if it can be found will probably be going for less than N1,000. Thank God for today at least everybody can afford to own a phone unlike then. |

[center]Ohh my guy u forget to add TRIUM - to the list of phones. Bought the fone 8k in 2002 - fairly used I bought my ECONET SIM CARD 14k in July 2002. Was in my final year in Unilag. Lucky me, the SIM is still very intact. I have never lost my phone every since i bought it despite the fact that i am careless.
