Nigerian MTN subscribers are up in arms over the sudden suspension of data sharing by the telecom giant. The move has left many feeling frustrated, disappointed, and deceived.

In a recent announcement on its X account, MTN revealed that it has suspended data sharing for two of its popular plans: the 1 Terabyte Yearly bundle and the 400GB 3 -Month Plan. This means that subscribers can no longer share data with their loved ones, a feature that many had grown accustomed to.

Subscribers have taken to social media to express their dissatisfaction and disappointment with the sudden change. Many feel that MTN's decision is unfair and deceptive, as they were not adequately informed or prepared for the suspension of data sharing.

The suspension of data sharing has significant implications for many subscribers who rely on this feature to stay connected with family and friends. It also raises questions about the value and reliability of MTN's services.

As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how MTN will address the concerns of its subscribers and whether it will reconsider its decision to suspend data sharing.

The data is mine. How I use it within the network and within the validity period is my business. Why will MTN stop me from sharing the data within the same MTN network?

Forcing me not to share the data is like forcing me to buy the data. Do you know if the person I want to share the data with contributed part of the subscription charge?

that's nigeria 4 u!

I just threw my Mtn Mifi into the wardrobe. Till they come back to their senses, make e dey there dey rest.

Imagine the nerve this people have.

Why not refund the subscribers back their money since you ban it. That’s bridge of agreement. After they lalready subscribe 1 terabyte plan. They subscribe it because they can share the data. But now they cannot share the data.

Imagine someone paid 100k for data 1 terabyte. Then you suspend the sharing.

I’m currently affected since last week i called the customer care that Since they suspended data transfer from 1 terabyte atleast they should help me convert the data back to airtime. They said it’s not possible. How cam you make decisions like that without considering your customers.

This is day light robbery. Nigeria need to call the attention of NCC to this.

Allow people to finish their data. Before you ban it. And also make make it clear to them that they cannot share the data before subscribing to plan.

you people are just crying for nothing. Before now, you buy the router and subscribe for the plan, you get 4TB total data. 1.5TB for 100k and 2.5TB bonus data. Now everything is gone.

Do not blame MTN, blame the Nigeria economy. Everything they're doing now is just so they might stay in business and stay profitable

the present economy affect everybody. Not just MTN why bridge of agreement?

How many people can confortably buy 1 terabyte of data when they can't share it?. No body will buy 1 terabyte just like that if they cannot share it. I called them since they ban the sharing of data atleast convert the data back to airtime. They said sorry they cannot do that that's stealing opening while the government watch helpless citizens.

You guys need a class action against them in Court. Gather yourselves and sue them shikina.

This is wickedness. Na this kind news helinues like to hear

Na now wuna go appreciate the work that's been done behind the scenes by Sheikh Professor ISA Ali Pantami. The wanted to cancel expired data , he refused them, they wanted to increase call and data rate he refused them and so many other things. Hence, that leads to the witch hunting him labelling him uncalled names.
