It is about to happen

While surfing the internet in search of a good recharge package on MTN, I came across the Awuf4u pack whereby you load airtime with *888*pin# and you get 3 times bonus plus your original voucher value. It looked attractive so I gave it a try(though I doubted if it would profit me since MTN is involved) with a #100 recharge.

Truthfully I was given (100 * 3) 100 = #400, but it was in a separate account other than the main account (thats not really an issue though).
I decided to make an experimental voice call for analytical purposes and below is my discovery:

I called for 10 seconds and was charged #4.95
therefore a minute(60s) call would cost (4.95 * 60)/10 = #29.7 .
The whole #400 given would therefore make 400/29.7 = 13.468 minutes of voice call.

Ordinarily making a call of 1minute on Mtn zone plan (12k/s) would cost (12 * 60)/100 = #7.2 .
Therefore the #100 would make a call of 100/7.2 =
13.8888888 minutes.

Comparing the above results you can see that the MTN Awuf4u plan is a kinda scam since it ends up profiting MTN instead of the customer.

At last MTN showed once again that they don't have the interest of their subscribers at heart with this SUGAR-COATED Awuf4u package of theirs.

So guys beware o

Your 10 secs is counted as 11 in their meter. They start counting from the zeroeth value. So, 4.95÷11 = 0.45k/s. Have you cared to read their FAQs to know how this stuff work? There you'll see every detail. Give it a try.

The MTN Zone, is it still active? If so, do they charge 12k/s round the clock? The last time I checked, the cost might be so high that you'd have to wait for it to fall do low before you could make your call... Or have that changed too.

Granted, MTN freebies have a catch to it, but Awufu is a bit fair compared to Pulse or Beta talk.

My techno L9 phone is flickering with numerous horizontal black lines. If you have experienced such before please offer advice. The phone is barely 6 months old and working perfectly except for this screen flickering.

Have you solved this issue? Mine just began doing this few hours ago. This month makes it 2yrs old.
