Very good. Some people have lines they don't use; it's just sitting in one wallet. Others borrow money in a line and abandon it. Some others will lose their lines, and simply go to buy a new line; refusing to do a welcome-back on the lost line. Yet you expect MTN to keep hosting you line on their data page? 1 year is too much sef. Ask me, and I'll say 6 months is already very generous

Yes, you will lose the line but if, however, you activate the keep my line service and depending on the number of years you choose, it will be retained.

Fedrick100:
That means if someone with an MtN line travel abroad and stay for years,he will loss his Mtn sim

People realy need to go out of the country to know how things work in western world! In USA, if you don’t use your line for 2 month and you don’t pay your monthly subscription which is like $40 or thereabout! it will be assign to another customer! Nigerian will sense of entitlement and you want the country to move forward

Fedrick100:

Find a way to top it up.

This is foolish. Lines are security devices, they are linked to our banks accounts, email, financial services websites etc. You cannot justify disconnecting security devices and transfer same to another user.

But why will you buy line and keep without using it?

Coolbreeze1988:
I have a Sim card that I mistakenly borrowed 8k on it when I was high. I will leave it for them to block cos I don't know when I go pay am finish

It's easy bro, get high and pay back

More Trouble for Nigerians!

Lionnation:
you dont have sense
Let mtn try and disconnect my registered line linked with my bank account, then I will milk them dry

Story.

If you like, go to Japan for 367 days and avoid topping up your line and see what would happen.

Make dem keep in perpetuity because you be Lion abi?

chloride6:


If you like don't active keep my line

I just tire o.

They've told him how to prevent his line from getting disconnected.

But he's still complaining.

bobbiiee:
If half of their subscribers boycott their services for a month. Wisdom will dawn on them.

I don't understand why organizations arrive at policies without using their brain. My mum wanted to do transfer from 1st bank to another bank. She said they won't give her audience because of the sum she's transferring. I asked her for the sum, she said 82k, I told her I will show them vawulence at counter.

Getting there, the teller she approached said, ma, you can use your phone to transfer it. I screamed at him and every teller there.

Expecting 80 year old woman to be doing her bank transfers online is wickedness. Is it every youth that has a smartphone? Is it everyone that has data? How can you tell me that you attend to customers transferring 200k and above?

They brought out transfer form. Yes, the problem was not caused by those tellers. The useless bank came up with stupid and unfriendly policies.

Let us boycott mtn for a month and see who wins.

The masses will definitely win...

eallstar:

Oga forget all this grammar, that is the reason they give you opinions, just activate KEEP MY LINE am not sure it's more than N500 a year. So N500 will save you all this grammar

let's see in court....all MTN policies are to reap Nigerians

Bornbiafra:
I blame our country....how can I buy a line Register it and link it to my bvn ,banks alert and nin ....then travel out for 1year plus and you disconnect me....is that not insanity?

In a structured and law abiding country ,my line is my lifetime identity

so for 1 year you no fit put 100 naira use do call? or ask person to put 100 naira do call for you?

100 naira in one year?

rottennaija:


This is foolish. Lines are security devices, they are linked to our banks accounts, email, financial services websites etc. You cannot justify disconnecting security devices and transfer same to another user.

100 naira in one year?

OK. God help us. We go adjust

tolue42:


Oga in UAE if you don't use your line for 3 months your line will be issued to another customer.... Nigerians with entitlement mentality

By "use", do you include receiving calls and text messages?

MTN meant you must load credit or data.

I usually don't load data for my smart devices at home but buy bulk data which is shared not hotspot, nor transferred

rottennaija:


This is foolish. Lines are security devices, they are linked to our banks accounts, email, financial services websites etc. You cannot justify disconnecting security devices and transfer same to another user.

That is why you can subscribe for keep my number service. I think it is just 2k per year or so.

If only people will listen to your advice, I swear they will think twice before coming up with stupid decisions and policies.

Empty hen

What if I'm not in Nigeria

Just travelled

So my sim will be issued to someone else
Same sim that got all my nin, bvn and bang notification linked to

Just imagine the effrontery!!

The NCC should have a standard template/structure for telecom companies to follow. Not each telecom company bringing in their nonsense anti security policies!

Exactly. My phone number is linked with one Folorusho like that. I keep receiving messages from her bank, pension fund administrator, church( deeper life) and even EKEDC.

I bought my line in 2003 for N48,000 and later bought three more lines for N35,000 each.

Now two of those lines since 2019 are not in use because users are overseas with over N5k in each line and tied to BVN etc.

MTN has made profitable income from the two lines for more than 15years.

MTN please try it and see if you won't cough out N100M per line... USELESS COMPANY .. phewwww

Ok, our lines are active just reach us for your painting and surface treatment.

Ebubu:

Person tell you say him nor dey Nigeria

Take for example him travel abroad

Shebi the person go fit put the sim for phone that side take make call

Please how can someone sue these firms ? I'm damn serious.

What sort of nonsense is this one kwanu

pstemma1990:
that's why the owner needs to use it. At least once in a year.

People who don’t top up credit might be worried about this news…I think as long as a line is active and receiving calls, it’s still generating money for MTN.

rottennaija:

You are right. Everyone is a law unto himself. Today they will say do this. Tomorrow they will say do another thing.
That's why it isn't good to link phone numbers to bank accounts

aieromon:


Read the terms and condition. It is not your lifetime identity.

Glo suspends call features after 90 days of inactivity and deactivates the line after 180 days.

Subscribers have the option of keeping the line active for 365 days with chinkili money.

MTN - N511
Glo - N500
9mobile - N500
Airtel - ?

What if I nor dey Nigeria again
