This is foolish. Lines are security devices, they are linked to our banks accounts, email, financial services websites etc. You cannot justify disconnecting security devices and transfer same to another user.

Agree with you.
Issues like this should be tested in the court of law. After all, the subscriber paid for the line in the first instance.

I blame our country....how can I buy a line Register it and link it to my bvn ,banks alert and nin ....then travel out for 1year plus and you disconnect me....is that not insanity?

In a structured and law abiding country ,my line is my lifetime identity

Read the terms and condition. It is not your lifetime identity.

Glo suspends call features after 90 days of inactivity and deactivates the line after 180 days.

Subscribers have the option of keeping the line active for 365 days with chinkili money.

MTN - N511
Glo - N500
9mobile - N500
Airtel - ?

Good...most don't understand what MTN meant...but it's good,in a year one should be able to recharge or sub on his/her line.

So what do they mean by revenue generating capacity?

Why will they say such? Number don finish ?

All this stupid recycling you do without proper way of doing it, that was how I bought an Airtel sim and uptill today I still receive alert of huge money from the previous user. Seems that person is an igbo business person. I have to deactivate that sim anytime I'm not using it cus it can lead to something else

Vexatious

Reveneue generating activity includes making and receiving calls or sms how do u not make or receive any call/sms in a year and u expect to still keep the line? Ehatbare you doing with it?

NCC should check the excesses of these network providers.

So you want MTN to continue hosting your identity in their database, continue sending messages of all sorts to your line, continue securing your line whilst you pay absolutely nothing for 1 year?

maintenaing what please

Bornbiafra:
maintenaing what please

They have a database that is expensive to maintain and make calls to.

Who should bear the cost?

Oga in UAE if you don't use your line for 3 months your line will be issued to another customer.... Nigerians with entitlement mentality

Then it's a foolish law. You cannot tell me that sims linked to my bank for otp and other financial accounts will be transferred to another owner because I didn't use it for 3 months to 1 years. You can call it entitlement mentality all you want, this is common sense.

Una too like money!

Why will someone not send or receive a call on a line in 1yr? A line is not a birth-right or a human right, MTN is in business not an NGO, at least send a text message in 1 year.

You cannot expect your provider to keep you in their database forever without you paying for it.

Must you keep or registered a line you're not ready to use ?

PHIPEX:

You can be away and that's understandable.

But you must find a way to top it up.

Even a kindergartner will know this message cannot be directly from MTN. MTN cannot send these kind of messages to it's registered subscriber. This is the work of one mischievous person that has been pushed to nairaland front page without verification. Even the grammar used in the message is awful

I think someone should sue this MTN for this.

Lines are rentals all over the world. It's not part of your genes that's exclusive to you.

Then go and unlink it. It costs money to keep the line active on their database, it is not your birthright.

I have a Sim card that I mistakenly borrowed 8k on it when I was high. I will leave it for them to block cos I don't know when I go pay am finish

Haha

Oga in france if you don't use your line for 6 months your line will be issued to another customer....

That means if someone with an MtN line travel abroad and stay for years,he will loss his Mtn sim

This has always be in existence right from time, it used to be 90 days previously before it was extended.

My data and airtime recharge follow sha o!

I no wan hear sey

If you like don't active keep my line

Let mtn try and disconnect my registered line linked with my bank account, then I will milk them dry

Oga forget all this grammar, that is the reason they give you opinions, just activate KEEP MY LINE am not sure it's more than N500 a year. So N500 will save you all this grammar

ALL providers do this

it is a waste of resources supporting unused lines.

over the years i have bought lines for sharing data and discarded them or stopped using them. i know others have done same. unused lines will increase the ize of your providers database, and increase their cost of operations

maybe when they pass the cost of maintaining dead lines to customers via increased tariff you will understand

i occasionally get emails form online services i register for. no activity for 6 months. please reply this email or we will close the account.

maybe they should bring back nitel for those who think MTN is greedy. some people need a dose of reality
