oayombo: Op should get facts right before starting a thread. It's not a permanent tariff reduction. It's an ongoing promo on mtn pulse (that I know) and it runs till 31st July. 10k/s to all mtn numbers and 5k/s to a special number. Send the special number of your choice as a text message to 567.

that has stopped working it worked till d end of june

MTN IS THE DEVIL. A word is enough for the wise.

afam4eva: MTN can be likened to GEJ in the sense that they're both hated by their customer/followers but the problem is that MTN will always have customers. And there customers are people that have been complaining for years but have refused to go elsewhere. Are they using juju or what?

Na wah ooooooo. Must we always link errtin 2 GEJ huh? Soon sum ppl wud claim dat he cause dem 2 loose dia virginity or he made dem fart. Mchewwwwwwwww

fork adict: About a year ago, I started a thread on MTN's greed, insensitivity to the plight of their customers, and abuse of the rare priviledge bestowed on them by their teeming customers, pride, amongst other other crimes. I compared their tariffs to other networks and pointed out that they were out to kill their customers rather than add value to their lives.

Fast forward to a year and some months later, MTN is now charging 5k/sec for MTN to MTN calls? Is this not an indication that they are no longer as comfortable as they used to be? Rman, where are you? Can you explain why your bosses are now charging customers for MTN to MTN call @ 5k per sec?

But the sad news is, its too late for MTN. I am not going back to them. They made me cross the point of no return and at this point, I am done with them.

What are your takes people?

i beg to distinguish a point...mtn stil has many packages with different tarrif and some with conditions... Never at any time in the history of telecom in nigeria has mtn lowered or reduced their tarrif as u alleged except on special promos so do not confuse people with this ur unverified unauthenticated fact

its not the tariff only, but on about two ocassion, I have discovered that my airtime just dissappears, I have checked but cant find any reasonable reason for this, can someone help out please.

Dear MTN users, how I wish u could do like my able friend way back in delta that I told about the cheat your network has inflicted on you. Mtn bb users are no. 1. Mtn gives only a meagre 200MB to their users for subscribing 4 1 month. If u are a type that loves to download I don't think that will be enough. I enjoyed using my Airtel BB plan. With 1GB, I am assured of downloading 2 movies in a month. Mtn users dare not try it.
When it comes to call, with my airtel line I called any network with just 12 naira per minute. It is high time Mtn users freed themselves from the shackles of bondage they put themselves into. They r not indigenous company and their objective is to take huge profit back to south africa. Their vision is to use the profit collected to make south africa 1 of the most industrialised nation. Come to think of it, as MTN invested in any of the millennium development goals in Nigeria. I am not surprised; the so called NCC that should be in charge of supervising their activities have turned the work to lucrative avenue and demanding millions of naira.#Tongue out

Gabbysky: Let us do to them what we have done to DSTV, all in favour say 'AYE!"...
whoever still pays DSTV subscription in NIgeria needs a huge lesson BIG TIME!!

some of us are seriously experimenting ways of getting back at MTN the same way we hav done to DSTV,
if dem like make dem no change now>>>

Me interested in watching dstv without subscribing....

I dont see any reason why u guys keep complaining about mtn, there are other networks with good tarrifs..ditch ur mtn line and get on board a new network abi dem tie ur life to mtn.. As soon as I got my airtel line last year, I stopped giving out my mtn no and also stopped recharging it. I only recieve calls on it while I make all the calls on my airtel line.. If u dont like it, ditch d line and stop complaining

Maybe there's something u know that I don't. Which prepaid plan on etisalat are u on and what are the tariffs. I use all the major networks & I can say they're almost at par as as regards their tariffs. Lets compare tariffs

Hi guys, dis network u r talkin abt is still reliable & also de best.
U v options,
i v use so many network , bt still de best.....MTN

Broda yhu know one thing I keep asking is when will the Federal Govt send this thieves back home to SA?
And Iam eagerly waiting the day number portability will be implemented...MTN will never see my break light.
In fact I don't have to worry any more cost I got my Airtel and Glo on the move, if they like let them cut
the tariff to 0kobo I care not. I hate anything that is name after MTN!

Dump Ass!

Airtel airtel airtel airtel.... the best network so far.. i have done all the caculation of all other network but none of them has better tarriff as airtel

funny the plan is not on their site.

Haters are gonna hate, if ur ass is broke, why not go to etisalat or airtel, or even nitel?? MTN ROCKS!!!

rman:

You need to get a life and stop all these your MTN online smear campaign. We have four major GSM operators, four major CDMA operators and the power to choose solely lies in your hands. All these bring them down, chase them away and they will soon crash adds no value to you. Even when they crash, it will still not add value to your life. FORK ADICT, YOU NEED TO GROW UP.

@Others, number portability will soon be implemented this year so I believe all this childish rants online will end by then. Also, regulators (NCC ) are not put there to kill bussinesss hence they too will have nothing to regulate.
I still stand by the fact that the telecoms industry has added more to the Nigerian economy more than any other sector in the last ten years. It was properly regulated since begining, that is why there is healthy competition there. And you can easily grow your subscriber base if you do the business right. When GLO was busy with their MTN fixation, ETISALAT came and roled out friendly packages and has recorded the biggest growth compared to all the others they met.
Yes, we have every right to complain when there are QOS issues, hidden charges, outright theft, network challenges etc. But when the underlying basis for complaint is just about freebies, they are from South Africa, bla bla bla , then we are just being shallow and bigots.

The truth of the matter is businesses that are poorly run and insensitive to customers will surely die a natural death in a competitive market. If MTN truly are scams and insentitive to customers, it is just a matter of time before they go under. But if over time they continue to grow the way they have over the years, then only rants will amount to nothing. Do you all know why? They are still doing somethings right!

If you finish your grammar,go eat akpu and get a life. Should ppl not complain just because you went to gramma high school Mr business? Give me a break

This is what happens when a thread makes it to the front page.

And all these people are daily riped by MTN .

I only remember to use them when my BIS is off. I pratically bought a phone for my GF to talk on glo GBAM. If you say I love awoooof then try using Lebera in thε UK on which you get 100mins Lebera to Lebera for every 2.50pounds recharge.

I c no reason y people r always complainng about mtn, is a matter of choice, afterall there r numerous network to choose from. If u cannt afford mtn then try other network. I wanna believe u guys cannot jst keep ur eyes off mtn bn an amaible n most reliable in network in Nigeria...no wonder their rates r expensive.

Gbam!

Hi guys! This is a timely topic. please take my masters degree survey on Telecomms in Nigeria and customer feelings.
click on this link- http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7FSZD9V THANK YOU. For only Nigerian mobile phone users! Please be honest about your feelings and noy unduly negative. Thanks guys.

Who cares if u are going back to them or not.They are making thier money and you are definitely expendable

For me i don leave em tai, me now i de enjoy glo infinito which i load 500 and i call all networks wit ease for almost a week before loading again. I keep mtn for receiving calls mostly and load my highest been 200 just to extend the warranty

binger: Who cares if u are going back to them or not.They are making thier money and you are definitely expendable

they always bash mtn for no reason, if u don't like their sevice ignore them

Good news. How can one subscribe to this package?

These people dey suck us wella!!! It's heartbreaking.

rman:

I am afraid you can not reason logically. Number portability will come and it will not translate to FREE CALLS.
All your rants is about freebies. And right now without number portability you can move quietly to the network that offers such.

I ve noticed on this forum how all people do is complain, but on the same thread they refer to one as better.

Then voila they come and open a thread about the same good op

Ok. na you and your employer fit reason logically abi? No worry number portability go soon show.

Now you keep asking why people keep complaining about how forked MTN is a service provider yet you guys keep making money? Ill explain. You see like most people here have confessed, many of us have MTN sims implying your customer base is huge. We also confess to using the sims for incoming call alone and not outgoing calls and that we recharge once a while jsut to keep the sim active. these are the reasons why you guys havent gone bankrupt all this while. Cos even when we receive calls with this mtn sims, mtn get paid N10 per min by the calling network. On a scale basis, if you multiply this by an average number of call time per subscriber, multiplied by the number of subscribers then the amount accruing to MTN by their subscribers who only receive calls with their SIM becomes huge.

YOUR DOOMSDAY WILL DEFINITELY COME ONCE NUMBER PORTABILITY TAKES FULL EFFECT. WHEN PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO RECEIVE CALLS MEANT FOR THEIR MTN LINES ON OTHER LINES. THIS IS THE MAIN REASON I WANT IT TO TAKE OFF AND NOT THE FREEBIES YOU SUGGESTED IN YOUR POST BRO. MATTER OF FACT, YOUR COUNTDOWN STARTS NOW 365, 364, 363.....

Freestyl: Which of the packages? Cuz MTN Pulse is N10 per sec.

are u serious?
