Stop The Witchhunt Against MTN by naijapips02: 10:47am On Nov 11, 2015
I am really pissed as i am writing this.

MTN has proven to be the best and most reliable Telco in Nigeria.

In terms of signal strength, it is indisputable that they are number one. Their coverage is next to none.

Their services, even though it's not uhuru yet, is miles ahead of the others. No Telco in Nigeria can manage the amount of customers they have and still be this efficient.

Etisalat are just criminals. some months ago, i subscribed to a daily internet bundle, and Etisalat automatically opted me into their mumu auto-renewal plan. I called the customer care and complained, they promised they've cancelled it, but each time i recharged, they still took my N100. I had to dump the sim-card somewhere.

The grouse about MTN failing to ensure proper registration of their customers is just plain witch-hunt. I had like 4 MTN lines, all duly registered. Yet MTN blocked 3 of them and left me with my main line. My Airtel and Etisalat, even though i never registered them in person, were never blocked. MTN was the most effective Telco in this sim registration thing. They had to force people to come out and register. No telco did that.

Besides, MTN packages are the best. They have the fastest internet2User speed.

And they are also very lenient. Do you think they do not know you are using SS? Or you think they can't block you?

With the MTN Truetalk, they give you 200% bonus on every recharge and still charge you at normal rate (as low as even 8k on zone) Glo bumba gives you 200% and charge you 50k/s shocked . Don't even go to Etisalat. Once you migrate out of any plan, your 200% bonus is gone and their call rates are so freeging expensive.

They still remain the only Telco that you can rollover the free data they dash you.

The Nigerian Government should really look into this fine. Because, evidently, we are still the ones that you would be affected. The company is definitely going to downsize to save cost. And who would be those to be sacked? our brothers and sisters.

I am not in any way advertising. Dem no sabi me.

All i am saying is that what's fair is fair. MTN should be pardoned.

brother, i airtime is not my problem. I actually make calls for free. I recharge like 5H everyday for browsing and get up to 1500 to call anyone. I don tire to the call.

I'm just being imperatively practical here. MTN is our best shot to good phone services right now. The fine on them is purely unjust. Even you would agree with me that MTN tried the most in this sim registration thing. They had to block almost all their simcards so that owners would come to register.

This is totally not fair.

Lalasticlala we need to help MTN out abeg.

What is unjust about the fine?
They faltered and were punished, it's the way an ordered society is run.

nah. I don't believe they faltered more than the other Telco companies. They were just singled out because they were big and Nigeria believed they had to cut their pound of flex off the big elephant some how. Like i said, i've never gone to register my airtel and etisalat lines, and they are still very active. Even thought the last time i used the airtel line was last year.

Other companies followed the directive, MTN flouted it.

Source? Or are you making things up as you go on?

Now I know you're just making things up.
If you haven't used your line for a period of 90 days you won't be able to make or receive calls.
If your line continues to remain dormant then it'll be deactivated.
And after a period of time will be recycled and given to a different customer.

Who's witch hunting MTN?. But seriously, I think MTN are enjoying the attention.

MTN is a scapegoat and a cash cow. Zuma won't suffer this foolishness gladly; they won't pay a single dime
Re: Stop The Witchhunt Against MTN by donlyone(m): 7:00pm On Nov 11, 2015
MTN must pay the fine. I went to their office 'twice' a couple of years back to register my sim, yesterday, I got a surprise text from mtn to come and do a proper registration of my sim card.

This means that the registration I did twice in their office was not real.

You can help them pay part of it if you love them so much
