It is now official. ..effective from Tuesday 3rd December 2013 airtel bis plans will cease to work on Android phones and other non blackberry gadgets. ...this is contained in a network text sent by airtel to suspected android airtel bis users like u and I...it'll be recalled that Android users had for months found solace in airtel bis as a means of running away from the costly android plans offered by network providers airtel inclusive. ..see screen shots of the text below

I also got a call from them about two weeks ago. They said they noticed I was using a BB Plan on my Android phone. And they were advertising some expensive plans for me to use.

I just told them that I would consider and then hung up.

I wonder why they'll do such, at least it's being paid for.
Re: Airtel Plans To Block Android Users From Using Bis by luluosas(m): 6:25am On Oct 05, 2013
Even though they were offering their BIS subscription via their own Internet server and even as it is very cheap, getting 1GB for N1,200, I have refused to use it since their supposed 3.75G network is crappy.
If them like, make them block am, and if they kukuma like, make them live am. Me I no send them especially as ICMP is back and better now on MTN.

It's a protocol inside Droidvpn. I can't explain more than this but, you can only make use of ICMP when you have installed Droidvpn on your Android phone, in order to use MTN BIS subscription plan on your Android device. Thank you.
