That's cool, Between the routers which would you advise someone to get.

For some reason, the ZLT X20 performs better for streaming and the ZTE downloads faster.

But if you can afford Starlink, then go for it. That's what i use mostly these days. My current usage below

Damn, starlink is performing wonders. Starlink is expensive and is beyond the league of the common man. Streaming, do you mean watching videos.....

Does anyone knows if MTN gives double data for 1 year plan subscription on a new 5G router SIM?

UPDATE: MTN didn't give double data for yearly plans with the new 5G router

Yes, they do for the Broadband plan.

dustmalik:

For iPhones, Apple, by default, doesn't support 5G networks. A carrier (MTN) has to ask Apple to include support for its own 5G network via software update. Apple has included support recently for MTN 5G via the Beta software program. So, if you have an iPhone 12, 13, 14, opt into the beta program, and download and install the lastest beta. Thereafter, you should be getting the 5G network. In the future, regular iPhone updates will continue to support MTN 5G.

For Samsung, it's the same for some of their devices, especially flagships. However, unlike Apple, Samsung is yet to officially push support for MTN 5G. So, you may find that MTN 5G works on Samsung devices and not others, even though they are same model, but different variant.

Do u have update on Google Pixel/ MTN 5G?

I received the bonus.

I received the bonus.

At the time you subscribed, the bonus was still being given. The policy has since changed.

I guess mtn stopped the 100% bonus on yearly plans last year with the 4G routers. I got the same bonus too on my hynetflex router but with the new 5G router SIMs, yearly plans are not eligible for double data. To me the main bonus they now give is 100GB for new device and 100GB for each of the first two subscriptions above 100GB

Very strange. Their website needs to be updated to reflect the change.

My data bonus is on the 5G router.

There is no special SIM card. Any 4G compliant SIM will receive 5G signals on phone or modem.

Please I recently bought mtn 5g router, the SIM that comes with the router is not working, I can't register it, it showing emergency when inserted in the phone, so I want to ask:

If I buy and register fresh SIM card for the router, will I still be given the free 100GB data bonus ?

No, you won't. Visit MTN service centre to resolve the issue.

Hello 👋, pls I wanted to ask concerning the ad you posted for a oneplus 8; is the phone a dual sim? And is the price negotiable ?

Hello please has anyone received a call from call center, to come pick up a free 5G router at the office. That I should bring my old 4g router.

in February 2023 I got 5g network in abuja and the speed was fast, but now I can't access 5g network even when am in 5g zone. I don't know if it was when I updated the phone I lost access to 5g? Please any assistance will be welcome, it's u.s variant.

SpiritFree:


Where in Abuja sir?

I stay in Abuja and use a 5G device.

Yet nothing.

Exactly my own situation, I use s22ultra SM-908U1, the last time I accessed 5G network was in feburary 2023, since then it has been 4g even in an 5g zone, please is there any update concerning this issue?

dustmalik:

Thank you for the feedback.
I am curious, have you tried flashing a firmware from a different region? Firmwares can be gotten from Sammobile or XDA.

I use the SM-908U1, and am having this issue, my 5G network worked last in feburary 2023, please how can this be resolved.

dustmalik:

Again, please if you have any of the above Samsung S22 ultra variants and you are receiving MTN 5G, kindly state your variant.
Note that this will help in resolving the challenges of some Samsung devices not getting the 5G network.
Thank you.
