The Nigeria Communications Commission has rolled out first-ever data on the state of porting activities by telecoms subscribers on the four Global System for Mobile Communication, GSM, operators indicating that MTN Nigeria lost more subscribers than it gained during the first two months in review.

The data covered first two months of May and June, following the launch of the porting scheme by telecom regulator on April 22, 2013. Airtel Nigeria, however, led other operators such as MTN, Glo and Etisalat on porting gains with 44 per cent and 50 per cent of ported numbers in May and June, 2013 respectively. The data were confirmed by the Corporate Affairs Director of NCC, Mr. Tony Ojobo, yesterday.

In May, Etisalat came second on gainer’s table by attracting 29 per cent of the total number of lines that ported to new networks. This is followed by Glo with 17 per cent and MTN came forth with 10 per cent.

On the share of porting loss, MTN Nigeria tops with 49 per cent; Glo, 23 per cent; Etisalat, 17 per cent and Airtel lost the lowest number of subscribers to other networks with just 11 per cent.

Also in June, Airtel led the porting gainer’s table with 50 per cent. This is followed by Glo with 29 per cent; Etisalat came third with 12 per cent while MTN came forth with just 9 per cent.

On loser’s chart for the month of June, MTN came tops by losing 47 per cent of the total number of lines that were ported. Etisalat was the third largest loser with 23 per cent; followed by Glo, 19 per cent while Airtel Nigeria lost the lowest number of subscribers during the month.

At the launch of mobile number portability scheme on July 22, 2013, the Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, Dr. Eugene Juwah, had stated that the porting service, which allows subscribers to move freely from one network to another while retaining their original number, would prove wider choice for the over 119 million telecoms consumers in the country.

Na wa ooooo! Not even the millions of Naira spent on 'Saka' could help MTN. Maybe more money and energy should be spent on improving and upgrading facilities and equipment rather than on 'Saka.'

Without cummulating datas, its easy to deduce that MTN will b the biggest loser... Am still not porting from MTN even with its flaws cos the others aren't better off to me:
Etisalat call rates are too expensive and sometimes, they deduct money from my account for no just cause.
Airtel don chop my bis money tire without subscribing me
And Glo, you can't even make a call.

MTN is still my num one line though, others na backup and currently my backup is etisalat just for bis.
To each his own sha

MTN na useless network before nau!!!

its gud,dey deserv it.dey ar so anoying..dou i use mtn bt i av oda lines too.mtn ar cheat.

mtn has d largest customer base therefore u expect them to have more disatisfied customers than others, similarly if u check the percentage of the customers they lost to the customer base and u compare it with others u will notice that they all loose almost same ratio of customers.

Exactly

Airtel is the best network. No wahala wen calling their customer services, their services are ok and tariff is enjoyable.


Teamairtel.

All networks are the same. with some issues peculiar to each:
MTN- Unstable signals, credit deductions, poor customer service
Glo- Inability to execute calls when you mostly need to, poor customer care
Airtel- Unstable signals
Etisalat- most expensive call & data tariff

Therefore porting is just a temporary solution dat won't resolve totally issues faced by users.
My advise is NCC to compel these networks to upgrade & meet up world class standards both in equipment & service delivery

Other network providers are not doing any better to be honest. Just that when subcribers want to show their dissatisfaction on the performance of GSM operators in nigeria,MTN easily comes to mind;probably because they got the widest customer base,also makes the loudest noise.

Its just somewhat natural that the operator with the highest customer base would likely experience the highest "porters" moving out to try out other nekwork providers. Most subscibers would just find themselves porting from one network to the other,realizing that they are the same in the end.
