I will not go and re-register my line. You
can fool everyone if you like, you might
have fooled me before, but you would
never fool me again. The only reason while you continue to
pull the wool over our gullible eyes is
because the consumer rights’ protection
agencies are either in the vegetative
state, or completely dead. How can you explain a situation where
you would tell your millions of teeming
subscribers to register their SIM cards
and provide the necessary bio-data, only
for you to wake up one morning to tell us
to go and register our lines again WITH ABSOLUTELY NO EXPLANATION? It beats my imagination and it defies not
just logic, but also philosophy. Were you
drunk when you were registering our
numbers? Did a malicious virus wipe your
entire database? Maybe I’m giving you too much credit sef.
You probably wrote the records in books
like an ancient bookkeeper and a giant
yellow rat ate them all. Whatever your
reasons (or lack of reasons) may be, this
is beyond ridiculous. I have always maintained an MTN line
because apart from being my very first
line, most of my close associates also
use MTN. To some extent, the coverage is also
extensive. I didn’t hesitate when the
directive came from NCC to register our
lines. I braved the queue, registered my
line and collected my security number. Didn’t I try enough? Looking back, I can deduce that my
attachment to MTN was more
sentimental than practical, as your tariffs
are the highest for calls and for browsing. You send an average of 100 spam texts
per day, enough to run down a Blackberry
battery and more than enough to give
any Osun State government worker
waiting for Aregbesola’s alert acute
hypertension. Your nuisance value knows no bounds. Even Airtel that has been passed round
different investors more times than a
devil’s mail bag has not come up with this
kind of Grade A foolishness. What the heck is wrong with you? Don’t
your customers mean anything to you?
Doesn’t it bother you that Nigerians who
wasted their time to register their SIM
cards have to do the same thing again? You haven’t even deemed it fit to fine-
tune the process. It doesn’t make sense
to preserve bad experiences like these, in
very much the same way that one relic of
history is preserving mud huts, and
stating them on an assets’ declaration form. My records are not on your database, but
you remember my number when you
want to tell me to text ‘YES’ to win a
missing plot of land in Port-Harcourt,
right? May heavy-duty thunder fire all of
una. I really don’t blame you. If Nigerians had run your devious, xenophobic,
exploitative, heartless, opportunistic,
fraudulent ass back to South Africa, you
wouldn’t be here making them queue
desperately like migrants. What’s to say that there wouldn’t be
another sham registration in the next
couple of months since you guys
obviously don’t know what you are
doing? You blocked my line, you have
helped me. Prior to your ridiculous directive, I had
already banished your yeye SIM card to a
barely functional phone. I have even borrowed the maximum
permissible amount. Go ahead, feel free.
It sure feels great knowing that when I
eventually toss the phone into the trash-
can, I won’t have to take out the SIM.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. You deserve to be sued for every
fraudulent penny you’ve ever made on
our shores. Thanks to other service
providers for making sure that your evil
dream of becoming a monopoly will
forever remain a demented hallucination. There are so many fishes in the ocean. I
will not tolerate your recklessness any
longer. Peace at last…. This letter speaks my mind.

A letter from an hungry man

I'm waiting for them to block my LINE

Truly good riddance to bad rubbish.

OP is on fire, call the fire-fighters(if there is even any).

I am waiting for MTN to come and collect their sim card.
As far as I am concerned, I have registered my sim card Looooonnnnng ago.
If my memory serves me right, I even re-registered when I recovered my line due to loss of phone.
So MTN is just joking with their silly sms message asking me to come repeat the exercise.
The last time I checked, there are 4 operators in this country. I'm sure the others will be happy to have me as customer.
And I don't bother with this crazy issue of a line that people have known you with for a while.
Truth is if your family, friends and associates truly care about you, they will get your new number.
To make things better, people can ALEWAYS connect with me on social media i.e facebook, twitter, linkedin, skype etc.
So I have no fear.
Besides, when I travel out of the country, I certainly don't go with my local lines and I never stay out of touch.

So my dear MTN, what are you waiting for? Come and collect your sim card.

I will not be suprised if this thread makes front pageafter hve created this same thread two days ago.

Truth is bitter. I think MTN need to be shown a way out.
