What's the difference between 3GB for #1500 and 5GB for #2500? Check it na, they are both 2MB for #1.

I subscribed to this plan on Friday 5th August and i was told i had 6gb left when i checked my balance.

Now I got an alert yesterday that I have used up 95% of my data allowance.

This means that the pan is actually 3gb. I still don't understand why Airtel is being this fraudulent??

Here are pics to serve as evidence.

I created a thread about this one time like that and it was the mods unwillingness to move it to front page that made folks like you to fall for their useless scam. Airtel is nothing but a scam, a corporate one at that. The truth is, that plan is and will remain a scam in all platforms, blackberry inclusive. They tell lies about it being 6gb for BB probably because BB doesn't keep records of your data usage.

Ever since that occurrence, I've stopped recharging on that Sim (same way I dumped my Glo) and focused on MTN. If all Nigerians can tow this same path, then these useless corporate scammers will know not to mess with their customers. Well I don't blame them. It's the useless NCC o blame..

The airtel plan is for blackberry OS 6.0 and below when it was rolled out, but as it worked for Android then and airtel didn't want to block it, it was decided that if you are using it on non BB device, it will be double billing.

The actual code is *440*16# then airtel came with the double recharge promo at the same #1500 for 6gig valid for 60days with *440*161# but eligibility was not always, if you sub normal in January, you may be eligible February but won't have the chance for the next subscription month.

As many started buying this data, airtel now turned it to 30days for the 2 for 1 offer, which really annoyed customers then.

To check eligibility then we used *440*440# but even till now, it's double billing for non BB phones especially when you are downloading.
For those that change their imei number to BB did you think it will work well on their device

Keep wasting ur time with airtel while glo rules the world. With 2500naira glo gives u 10gb or 10000mb of real data u can use on all device. The speed within my area is fantastic.

You see why your first sentence is senseless?

Glo isn't good at my vicinity.

Glo is even the worst of them all. They give you the Greek gift of huge data bundles at cheaper rates only for you to realize you can't even exhaust up to 30% of it due to their worthless network connection.

Even the 5gb for 2500 is suspicious, you won't believe I subscribed to it barely 10 days ago and I was just alerted that I have 1.2gb left. I was like, wetin I do?
I don't even know who to believe anymore...

I concur. That code works for some airtel subscribers. They normally send a text to those eligible. So if u don't receive any text to that effect, don't border trying it. I did it once and I was given data to use for two months.

Am sorry ya'all fell for it. I have guys who works in that shithole call Airtel who confided and told me they bill you 2kobo per kilobyte instead of 1kobo per kilobyte. If Airtel says it's sunny u beta check cos it might be damn wet outside. Those India racist ain't playing. They run a very organised crime biz. My advice leave the damn network alone.

Whether you change imei or not, the subscription will work with your phone (my sister still use it on her Sony z tablet) but it's possible changing imei will zone you away from the double billing.

This subscription is still not concurrent, you still have to check if you are eligible and I noticed that eligibility is now based on how long you have subbed on the sim. Airtel only make abandoned sim eligible like I sub on airtel last this april though I do buy credit and call with it now they have made my sim eligible for the offer this August but I am afraid of the double zapping will stick with glo for now

It's actually meant for BB. Users,my BB will use 6GB data.

Check your phone stats if you've utilized up to 3GB .

Why not get twice the data value with glo for same amount. 2,500 =10GB. Just a suggestion anyway.
