Onyi22:

Did they force you to buy it?

Was i old enough to buy Sim at that time? They already made their money from us but still scamming us.

GeoAfrikana:


No, I'm on MTN Pulse. The midnight data plan is only available on MTN Pulse.

I lost almost not less than 300mb data.

The way they deduct the data is ambiguous. From my calculations, all what I've downloaded isn't more than 400mb; just 6 videos that are an average of 40mb. Then I updated three apps from playstore; 9mb, 12mb and 22mb.

But look, I have just 500mb left. This is freaking crazy.

the solution is not to use same sim for midnight and regular browsing , and the code for checking midnight sub balance is *406*4#

Olamyyde:
Mtn is a disgrace. What you are complaining of has been happening for over a year. I stopped using my main mtn data sim for midnight plan because of this.


It's a very useless network . The worst part is the 500mb midnight plan is actually 420mb. After you use 360mb, mtn will automatically disconnect your network and throttle the speed. So you will have to connect and disconnect to use the remaining 60mb.

"The worst part is the 500mb midnight plan is actually 420mb. After you use 360mb, mtn will automatically disconnect your network and throttle the speed. So you will have to connect and disconnect to use the remaining 60mb."

You're so right.

There is always cancel option underneath it... Or you can use AdGuard/avast security firewall to disable data for playstore and play services till you need them... It can be annoying

Sadly some apps won't work if disabled, I try to cancel it when updating and turn off my data connection when leaving cuz I don't trust those preinstalled apps

IN NIGERIA NO SENSIBLE HACKERS TO BYPASS ALL THESE ILLIGAL EXTORSIONS THE TELECOMS CRIMINALS PARTAKE IN.

SAME GOES WITH THE POWER SECTOR.

SO DAMN SAD!

GeoAfrikana:
I'm so angry right now. As you can see, I'm creating this post in the middle of the night.

There are many negative things people say about MTN. Sincerely, I've always given them an open mind but tonight I discovered something very terrible about them

Summary:
When you subscribe for night data, MTN doesn't only deduct from your night data balance, they also deduct from your main balance.

Explanation
For long I've been using the MTN pulse plan. I buy 1.5gig weekly. But because I usually need to download tutorials from YouTube I support my data with their 500mb midnight plan.

I've always noticed that my 1.5gig doesn't last long. Within five days (sometimes three days) my data would have finished.

I spend a lot of time online but there's no way my daily usage can reach 400mb. Most of my time online is on WhatsApp, searching google for information and staying up to data with industry gists on Twitter.

This night I subscribed to the MTN night plan, then used their app to check my balance before browsing. If you use the mtn night data regularly then you know there's no way to check your balance with USSD.

Luckily for me, the MTN app shows the night balance. So I was able to monitor both my main data balance and the midnight balance.

Guess what I found?
MTN was deducting from both accounts simultaneously.
No wonder, this is the snake that has been stealing eggs from my poultry.
I was so angry that I wanted to remove the SIM but I decided to collect evidence before removing their SIM.

Below are two screenshots. I took the first before downloading a video from YouTube. The video is 48mb.

Then I took the second screenshot after the download had completed.

As you can see, MTN didn't even touch my night data again. They deducted virtually everything from my main balance.

This is so painful. I feel cheated.

Bro, if your data saver is not on, for twitter, it would be chopping data. Switch on data saver for twitter or access twitter through a web browser or use twitter lite

Call them out ok Twitter with their official handle

sanemind2:
Are you on Beta talk?

GeoAfrikana:


I really wish I could deal with them. It's becoming too much of them. Are they the only network provider?

MTN today, MTN tomorrow... They're freaking annoying.

Do you know what? Only God knows how many millions of Nigerians lose at least 100 naira worth of data every night. You can image the unethical profit they'll be making from this dubious act.

So true.

whemmytopsy:
MTN is a very terrible network provider, I was angry the night this same shit Happened to me and even more angry when the customer care representative had to hang the call on me... I felt embarrassed, it was obvious they did it intentionally... MTN is devilish, now my AIRTEL sim does the midnight work, I'm cool.

But come to think of what they take us for, They were so sure that nobody is gonna protect the right of we consumers and so they can do and undo... I'm sure they dare not try that in saner climes.... Being a Nigerian is not cool at all... If saying that is a sin, May God forgive me.

What's the code for AIRTEL midnight data subscription and the timing?

True i don't use Google apps that much... Unless when necessary i hibernate all of them including chrome... They are data hungry monsters

I feel your pain OP.
I noticed the same thing last night. I was trying to watch a video from the Google classroom app and I decided to wait till midnight to save my real data. After watching the video, I checked my data balance and 500mb from my data was gone and even the midnight data was also exhausted. The whole effort of being awake till midnight to save cost was in futility. Its really painful. Pele

Using Airtel for midnight browsing is much better...you can subscribe 5times and that's equivalent to 1.25gb for bout a #125

MTN is way too criminal... you'd use your data until 420mb and after that,if you no get scope...e don waste be that(I have to toggle airplane mode off n on before I go use am finish)


The worst is,those supposed to protect you are the ones forcing a knife through your heart
NCC is just bullshit...it's best you don't put a call to them

Use 100 naira to get 1 gig on airtel night browsing from 12 midnight to 5am.

Funny enough.i just searched for how to deactivate my MTN sim.just even called their customer line unanswered. Who knows how I can shut down or deactivate my MTN sim

Mtn is very unethical in business....laslas NCA and the consumers protection rights agencies don collect their share...na only shout u go shout,nobody de hear u.

GeoAfrikana:

I lost almost not less than 300mb data.

The way they deduct the data is ambiguous. .

No mind them. I'm used to it. That's why I have two dedicated sim cards for night browsing.

They typically don't touch your normal data until you get an SMS alert announcing that you've used 430mb. At that point, the night browsing will cease.

On a sim card without data sub, it will stop browsing for a while or until you toggle your data connection.

However, on SIMs with data sub, it'll just switch over.

Anyway, Dial *121# - check out the data offerings there.

Thatsammie:
What's the code for AIRTEL midnight data subscription and the timing?

*312# and you migrate to the plan requested
You can purchase 250mb for #25 and it can be done up to 5times for one night

It expires by 5a.m

If you'd ask me,it's a much better deal than MTN

How can you leave Glo and Aitel
And pick MTN for browsing?

MTN is not Data friendly

GLO any day anytime

bro whenever you are on mtn night plan always switch off your phone when it’s midnight and on again

Too bad, but I think the regular plan exist for both day and night so hence the deduction from it... U should exhaust ur regular plan next time before opt-in in for the night plan.

Next time if u want to do night plan subscribe glo and thank me later

Exactly what I have been experiencing with 9mobile

There is a better plan on mtn
Just rail *121#
Select data for me option
1gig = 200 naira for 7days
1.5gig =300 naira for 7days
Goodluck

edoairways:
Glo night data plan is the best

What's the code for GLO night plan and the timing?

Onyi22:
What's exactly do u want us to do for u?
Y can't u gentle remove the MTN sim and put another Sim card silently.
Instead of coming here to disturb our peace

very very very silly onyi22

They started this behavior after APC introduced one stupid tax like that. (Early this year or late last year).

I'm able to use 480mb. Even if it disconnects, I'll turn my data off and ON multiple times until I get the, "used up night plan" SMS.

The last 20mb is fake. It's approximately 5mb.

Thatsammie:

*312# valid from 12am-5am
If u have normal data balance try the migrate option because migrating i think will switch to the midnight plan and exhaust your midnight data plan b4 using ur normal data
Note:monitor ur usage because after using midnight it will switch automatically

Jayson504:
This has been happening for while now. The last time I did the MTN night plan, they deducted my main 2gb data before deducting the night plan. So basically now I use Airtel for night plan because I can get 1.2gb in a night, unlike Mtn's 500mb.

1.2 GB on Airtel night plan?

How?

Maybe some apps are using your data for updating among others. I usually check my night sub data balance with *406*4*3#. I always watch courses videos on Coursera at night and monitoring my data usage with phone master daily and monthly to know what apps are using data. Besides, MTN sometimes take data from both data bundles.

Damn! So funny.
