The time for this thread has come.

Please feel free to add any negative experience you have had with any of the above. It seems they think Nigerians are helpless morons (just like our politicians think!)

This just came in from a reliable person i know.

Globacom deducted a large denomination amount that can last at least a month from his account and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING has been done to rectify it 2 weeks after.

What he has been told by the customer service people (when they are available) is 'system upgrade' or "we cannot see info about that number" or some other rubbish which communicates "eh henh?, so this amount was deducted from the account, so whaat? why are you making noise? The customer service people show no remorse or awareness of the implication of this occurence, which can cost their company millions if they are sued in another country!! sad lipsrsealed angry

Just wondering if this has happened to anybody on Nairaland!

Simple analysis...

Glo tricks: give you plenty data but injured snail network...
Ends your calls without notifying you..very embarrassing..
Glo numbers are largely unavailable at times..
Any small rain.. network aff disappeared for three days..

Airtel: Baba of deduction...can deduct your airtime for stupid things. With Airtel I assure you your main account balance will always be empty. cheesy
Gives you voice bonuses that you can't use..who does that?
Sometimes after subscribing you can't browse..until the sub expires..
Troublesome voice recordings when your credit is finished..it will be as if you're quarrelling with them. Very high sms charges
Be forming 4g Everytime..make that their free 4g expire..you go hear nwi!

MTN..hmm King of Sucking data and airtime..
Don't use MTN for browsing if you don't want to develop HBP..very expensive shit..
Sending of stupid messages all the time..
Always wanting you to borrow..my dear don't put your life on the line with MTN extra time.
After your main balance is finished..bonus will disappear too.. shebi you dey whine me??

Etisalat: as dem small Dem no dey fear Nigerians too.
With etisalat your phone will always be low.. because of second by second nonsense sms..if you think Mtn is bad in messages..my dear try etisalat..
Very high browsing rates...
They will always try to entice you.. messages like " recharge extra 500 to unlock your locked data of 1gb? "
They will be forming James Bond with fast network..only for you to receive heart breaking mesages grin

Calls are expensive walahi! When your sub finishes..so will your bonus..

Nobody should try and mention NTEL here to avoid a problem with me

Don't ask me how I know..I work with all of dem

I noticed something about sharing data on glo, when you share data the data depletes faster than when used individually. Pls note that the two users are always together and dont do much on there respective phones.
