fork adict: About a year ago, I started a thread on MTN's greed, insensitivity to the plight of their customers, and abuse of the rare priviledge bestowed on them by their teeming customers, pride, amongst other other crimes. I compared their tariffs to other networks and pointed out that they were out to kill their customers rather than add value to their lives.

Fast forward to a year and some months later, MTN is now charging 5k/sec for MTN to MTN calls? Is this not an indication that they are no longer as comfortable as they used to be? Rman, where are you? Can you explain why your bosses are now charging customers for MTN to MTN call @ 5k per sec?

But the sad news is, its too late for MTN. I am not going back to them. They made me cross the point of no return and at this point, I am done with them.

What are your takes people?

rman:

You need to get a life and stop all these your MTN online smear campaign. We have four major GSM operators, four major CDMA operators and the power to choose solely lies in your hands. All these bring them down, chase them away and they will soon crash adds no value to you. Even when they crash, it will still not add value to your life. FORK ADICT, YOU NEED TO GROW UP.

@Others, number portability will soon be implemented this year so I believe all this childish rants online will end by then. Also, regulators (NCC ) are not put there to kill bussinesss hence they too will have nothing to regulate.
I still stand by the fact that the telecoms industry has added more to the Nigerian economy more than any other sector in the last ten years. It was properly regulated since begining, that is why there is healthy competition there. And you can easily grow your subscriber base if you do the business right. When GLO was busy with their MTN fixation, ETISALAT came and roled out friendly packages and has recorded the biggest growth compared to all the others they met.
Yes, we have every right to complain when there are QOS issues, hidden charges, outright theft, network challenges etc. But when the underlying basis for complaint is just about freebies, they are from South Africa, bla bla bla , then we are just being shallow and bigots.

The truth of the matter is businesses that are poorly run and insensitive to customers will surely die a natural death in a competitive market. If MTN truly are scams and insentitive to customers, it is just a matter of time before they go under. But if over time they continue to grow the way they have over the years, then only rants will amount to nothing. Do you all know why? They are still doing somethings right!

afam4eva: MTN can be likened to GEJ in the sense that they're both hated by their customer/followers but the problem is that MTN will always have customers. And there customers are people that have been complaining for years but have refused to go elsewhere. Are they using juju or what?

Billyonaire: People keep complaining of MTN, yet these same persons still retain MTN simcard. Stop complaining and make a move. Get BB and do more chatting and less voice calls or get a cheaper network.

oayombo: I repeat, it's not mtn zone...it's a promo that lasts till 31st july. I guess it's for pulse subscribers...more reason for u to migrate temporarily. 10k/s to all mtn lines and5k/s trip a special number which you'll send as sms to 567.

fork adict: In fact ehn, that whole arrangement say rates fit low reach 5k/sec na SCAM. Like the poster above has said, we URGENTLY NEED NUMBER PORTABILITY IN THIS FORKING COUNTRY ASAP.

But i feel the only reason why NCC has been foot dragging on the issue is because MTN has bribed their top guns. (Just my opinion tho and let no one criticize me for this). Otherwise why the fork has the project not kicked off sll this while?

NaijaNaWaa: Any thing MTN is 419. Their charge is always "as low as...". Always never specific. So you end up paying 100k/s!

fork adict:

I know say you go everly show for here.

I got just one message for you and your employers. Let's wait for number portablility to take effect in naija. Only then shall we see the one that needs to grow up.Either me or you and your employers.

Freestyl: Which of the packages? Cuz MTN Pulse is N10 per sec.

francis247: everything get class. MTN is for 1st Class Citizens, GLO for 2nd class, Airtel and others for 3rd class. Shikina!
