AfricaFace:

Point of correction, Etislat doesn't have a 3G network mode. they couldn't configure Black Berry Internet Service on my Black Berry Storm.
MTN did that ia giffy

When i read comments lyk d one above on this forum, it makes me sick, How would anyone think the Blackberry storm, just like all other Blackberry devices can just browse the internet without u first subscribing for either the Blackberry Internet Service ( BIS) or the Blackberry Enterprise Service ( BES) with ur service provider
@AfricaFace, I use my Etisalat Sim Card in my Blackberry storm (9500), and it's configured for browsing cos I subscribed for their BIS which costs N5,000 monthly( (in actual fact, I'm replying this ur comment wit the phone at the moment), so ur claim is un-founded. If u want to browse wit ur BB phone, go to their office, pay for the BIS, then wait and see if d phone doesnt browse.
Make enquiries b4 u giv false info to nairalanders,

@ poster
U dey there dey vex 4 yourself. u better go nack your head for tree cos the winner just came to pay courtesy visit at the office now. 1million dolls CONFIRMED. obviously he has to buy back into the company with about half of the prize money(about 75mill, which isnt a bad idea considering that the company has hit 2.7mill active subscribers in its first year of operation, which means GOOD INVESTMENT). The other half will obviously wouldnt be paid at once because the organization cant afford the risk of the winner spending ridiculously or absconding. They have to be able to use him for publicity etc(in years to come, they should be able to say "we changed a nigerian's life forever). So with one half of the prize working for you(investment) and the other half given to you in reasonable installments, what do you have to lose. WAKE UP, its real!
And yes, I work for the organization.

4 real, u wrk 4 d org? hw can we hav a chance 2 get a job in ur company, everybody wants 2 work in etisalat, i hear dey pay mad salary, pls any link for applyin for vacancies??

d 1 million dollars was won yesterday by a UNIJOS undergraduate, u r still hear beefing a company dat just changed the life of a believing Nigerian 4 d better, where r u to make ur stupid noise about the company again
.LOOOSER FOOOOLLLLL

hi prof,i can see dat u r highly learned on this topic. Well,I also need to get some facts from u.
I'm a Banking and Finance graduate, finished from the University of Ilorin in 06, I would like to know the stages of the exam I need to do and the exemptions I'm eligible for. If u hav any idea of how much would be involved,it would also be great help.

i can't believe that i just did a welcome back on my etisalat sim.what happen?the sim is too fragile.it displays,"SIM CARD ABSENT"

I think dats true, though i've not done a welcome back on my sim but my bro has done.I guess its because their sim card has more memory space dan d other networks sims,in addition, theY get damaged easily by all dese chinese phones wit dual sims, we all know dose phones r sub-standard, Since my brother changed his phone to a normal NOKIA hadset,his sim card has been working perfectly.Infact,I've never experienced a problem wid my ETISALAT sim since last yr because I use a normal Motorolla Handset. I believe it has to do wid the chinese phones and the memory space of their sims.

blackweaver:

nah we can't be talking about the same site 'because i checked again, closed page, deleted cache and checked again still 15k/kb

however i agree with you that mtn is a serious let down ion more than one occasion i activated the 1-day 24hr data plan and
less than 6hrs later i can't seem to browse anymore, also i find out that the little credit remaining on the line has been used up
fortunately i wasn't using my main line - men those guys can be very sneaky. Am just waiting to get another handset before i get
my etisalat line

i agree wid u brother, way 2 go!!! Let's just hope ETISALAT givs us the same world class service they r offering in the other countries they are operating.I heard they operate a 3.75G Network in Egypt, dats so cool.

blackweaver:

well i'm presently on the mtn site and it shows that gprs IS 15k/sec so unless you
work in mtn or you have some inside gist that i'm not aware of, mtn IS CHEAPER for
browsing; for more info check this link: http://www.mtnonline.com/data/infopack.aspx
besides why will anyone want to use the normal gprs rate? it's much better to use a data
plan for browsing and as far as i know Etisalat hasn't started any yet - correct me if am
wrong. And until they start as far as browsing is concerned, Etisalat is definitely NOT the way to go

i jst checked d link http://www.mtnonline.com/data/infopack.aspx and its still 70k/kb,so where did u get ur info from black weaver. I heard Etisalat is planning to roll out deir data plan very soon and let's keep our fingers crossed and see what dey've got to offer.As far as I know,I've tried everything wid MTN and I've been let down severally,it's time to for a better option,

no yawa, all na 4 fun, enjoy :d

@semid4lyfe, u don miss out, so u think say Nigerians just dey go queue for nothing for the reserved numbers, SIDON DERE!!tHOSE TAHT RESERVED NUMBERS R ENJOYING FREE AIRTIME EVERY MONTH FOR LIFE AND THEY GOT THEIR SIM CARDS FREE OF CHARGE, SO U NOW C Y THEY waited for these lines

hear story, i'd rather go 4 quality than quantitiy as far as dey deliver.
y r u guys not talking about deir strong points, its only d not 2 palatable ones u r hammering on, wat of home zone,receiver pays,missed call notification:a service dat allows u to know d nos dat tried to call u even when ur phone is off and so many odas, continue staying in d dark,u hear!!

i collected ma sim yesterday and i'm already enjoying their services, their receiver pays is da bomb, i called ma pops and he was d 1 dat was billed, not a kobo was taken from my credit, ol'boy d good times r here at last.
i'm even facebooking wid their GPRS NOW. and u guys r here complaining, stay there.  

@aiyetunji, guy u no need dat now, abeg lets respect one anoda on dis forum,since we r all adults,lets conduct ourselves as such, its not 2 much 4 1 2 ask a question if its not clear, dats d whole idea of dis site in d 1st place.

Kilan so kilon so?


i wonder ooo, we go dey discuss 1 topic dem go dey talk anoda thing!!!

why r u guys turning this topic to a personal beef board,, u r making us all lose interest in the original topic which is ETISALAT. C'mmon guys,let;s not lose the main focus, !!!
PEACE UNTO YA'ALL

good, but d moral of d story?

godd job!!!!

i heard they've started their road show, where they bring the no reservation 2 ur areas, U can also wait 4 dat!!
.i hope they get 2 my street soon,so many of my street peep want 2 reserve their own special nos,but there's no way i can use my phone 2 reserve nos 4 all of dem.I just pray ETISALAT'S road show gets 2 my street soon, It'll be a lot easier&i believe they'll be on hand 2 answer all our probing questions about them!!!

guys,guys, these people r not misleading us.They said d truth, what d ad said is ''free airtime for life'', this means 1ce u reserve 1 of the nos in their 0809uchoose campaign,u\ll be entitled to be receiving free airtime every month for the rest of ur life on their network, Where's d fraud in that??
We Nigerians r always looking for baseless issues because of d way of life we r used 2.Let's learn 2 believe 4 1ce and stop being over cautious over nothing, Afterall,d company no com force anybody subscribe, na do as u wish, so stop complaining,

Anybody with any latest business news??I need 2 make some cash,me,I no dey 4 killing other people's businesses,when I dey work on my own!!

u r entitiled 2 ur opin,
peace un2 ya'all

Y r u having a diff story??my brother and siters reserved their nos wid d help of ETISALAT'S call centre agents,and I tell u,those agents were very wonderful, full of courtesy and very nice.The agents even called them back to make sure they got d passcodes 4 redeeming their reserved nos, Can u beat that?
When did any1 get a call from MTN's or Glo's, or even zain's agents?when that happens,it means d world is comind 2 an end,
I believe Etisalat is coming in2 d Telecomms Industry wid superb customer care,I even heard they flew their customer care agents out of d country to giv dem world class training!!Men, dats what I'm talking about, a serious company,

Dey've not started giving out d sims,i guess dey'll start dat as soon as dey finish wid this reservation.U won't pay a dime if ur no is a standard no.Hope ur question is answered,

OMG!!!Hav u all seen d etisalat advert done by Banky-W? i SAW IT ON T.V 2DAY, MEN,I CANT SHOUT,ITS DA BOMB, CHECK OUT D QUALITY,,,BETTER THAN MOST NORMAL MUSIC VIDEOS

Guys,hav u heard the latest from ETISALAT? It's this hot jamz done for Etisalat by Banky-W!!! I heard it this morning on 1 cool fm, men it's da bomb!!!!!Deses guys r realy spending good cash on quality stuff!!!!!

@everybody,wen u were reserving ur special nos,did u try reading d terms and conditionsI gues not.
Well,here's d deal,I learnt u can use ur free airtime 4 life 2 make calls outside d Etisalat network,u can even make international calls with the free air time!!!!Is that superb or whatThese guys r really mega bucks 4 real, ,
u can reach me on my super unique number 08098123456.so cool, yeah,its a golden number!!!!!

hw come your mail isn't going?I've sent mails 2 them and i've even gotten replies from them.I even reserved my special number online,it was very fast

nice point,but it's good u mentioned it yourself that he's 1 of d stakeholders not d sole stake holder.so his sole action or inaction can not affect d company negatively, Nigerians please,let's develop some optimistic culture
