How Nigerian Telecommunications Companies Killed Voicemail by TemplarLandry: 4:21pm On Jul 11, 2023 |
βYea you're on to XYZ blah blah blah, leave your message after the beepβ Will Nigerians ever get accustomed to using voicemail like Americans? Not likely. I remember when mobile telecommunications newly came to Nigeria around 2003... We had M-Tel, Econet, then MTN came. These telecommunications companies exploited us big time with high call rates and the fraudulent βPer Minute Billingβ. If the call you made lasted for let's say 3 seconds, you would be billed for one minute regardless. It was that bad. π They kept chousing us till Glo Network came through for us and introduced βPer Seconds Billingβ, it was then the other telcos were forced to ditch the Per Minute Billing regime. The exploitation by those telcos made Nigerians so βwokeβ that they became too meticulous with their airtimes. They weren't even ready to explore the voicemail service for they saw it as a service invented by the telecommunications companies to chouse them. Most Nigerians ignored the voicemail service like a plague. Telcos also fueled this apathy by placing new SIMs automatically on voicemail. When your number wasn't reachable, your callers would be connected automatically to your voicemail which you never set up, hence you wouldn'tΒ be able to access whatever voice message your callers left for you. People would query you and be like βI called you but you kept wasting my moneyβ. Dear telecommunications companies in Nigeria, now you know how you've rendered voicemail obsolete in Nigeria. π»ππππππ π³πππ ππ.
