Hello Nairalanders.
Am sure most of us have heard about the new airtel smart trybe tariff that offers night bundles of 500MB and 1.5G for N25 and N50 respectively.

I decided to try it out two nights ago and wow the experience was amazing.
I did the N50 plan initially and after exhausting it I did another one so I used about 3G that night and the download speed was amazing especially considering I normally use my Gloslow SIM to browse because of the cheap data. There was nothing like data zapping which I hear of a lot, I have an app installed which monitors the amount of data my device consumes so I was sure I got what I paid for.
last night however the story was different when I subbed for the N50 plan. I had barely used up 400MB when my browsers started redirecting me to free.facebook.com. this only happens when my data is exhausted so I was surprised. I decided to buy the N25 plan to continue what I was downloading but after subscribing the same problem persisted. I switched off my network and for about 30mins and tried again, this time it started working. so I headed to download some movies but while downloading a movie, at around 200Mb it started redirecting me to free.facebook.com again. This was past 4am. After several failed attempts to browser or resume paused download I gave up.

so guys please who else is facing this sort of issue? I want to call them to complain.

I was once in your shoes, I faced the same problem.

I know how it goes


You have to understand how it goes

Mind you: in order to enjoy the 1.5GB plan you need to subscribe for the 500MB plan firstly.


Each time you want to make use of the night plan migrate to the trybe plan, your money won't be touched.

The same shit happens to me everyday the worst part is that i don't even use up to 50mb, which means i have to sub twice just to download
