i recently got the much advertised Etisalat Gaga phone
what attracted me to it was all the specifications it was being said to have at such a very cheap price of N19,000

so i bought the phone and the CCR attending to me was like i had to pay for an easyblaze package. N2000 for 500mb, which is quite expensive compared to other networks. so i did not pay for that yet because i was already on BIS. but if i recharge my etisalat sim which is in the phone, before i say 'jack' the whole credit has disappeared. so it seems the phone has to be on a steady internet package so as not to exhaust the credit which i should use in making important calls

so i wanna ask. . .are all android phones like that? must they have to always be on an data plan?

no


but then u should deactivate the APN, or just put a wrong one.

or just deactivate data, since u are not using it for data

OK. Thanks
