Why Can’t I Trust MTN? Data Zapping Continues…

In as much as MTN is trying all they can to win their
customers back, they shouldn’t be using dubious means to defraud data
subscribers… I’m aware they’ve been trying by all means to release cheap data
plans but to every cheap data plans, lies a price tag secretly attached to it
without you knowing.

Glo data plans are extremely cheap but the price tag attached to it, is slow
motion connection. A times it can take you ages of connecting, disconnecting, and
reconnecting before it will fairly gain stability for some couples of minutes
before it disconnect again.
MTN 1.5GB and 3.5GB is not what they claim it is. I have
tested both plans and it appears 1.5GB is just 800MB and 3.5GB is just 1.6GB
because both subscription finishes within days and not even  weeks without
downloading. I decided to keep mute maybe it’s my prostitute MTN sim that has
the fault; not until when I over heard all manner of complaints from clients and
fellow readers of the same issues.
MTN, why give us an egg with your right hand, and collect
a chicken with your left hand? This is not just at all.
Who have subscribed to any of these two packages? Does yours
Zap or the data charges are normal? Kindly let us know.
Spread the love

  6. I still hate mtn. Imagine I went to mtn office to port one of my important number and they said I must bring international passport or driving license. but I only went there with voters card and national Id card. the people are just foolish. But I used just voters card when I port to Glo.

  12. Was surprised when i exhausted the rubbish 3.5gb within 4 days. MTN since this strategy didnt work for Airtel and Glo, just get ready to loose your customers.

    A for me, i just jejely go subscribe Airtel Bis 3gb for 1k. And thats what i've been using on both my Android and PC via Hotspot.

  13. I really don't agreed with all these comment of zapping data or whatever you all name it. I sub for $2000 of 3.5GB on my iPhone. I have data meter on my iPhone that monitors data I use daily. It's all OK and no zapping experience. All those third party reseller trying to advertise cos it looks like they going dead day-by-day.

  14. Meter ko Meter ni. How comes na only ur own no get issue. u must be JUDAS. MTN DATA FROM RESELLERS is always the best. it last. Some People can not even finish 1GB (From data resellers) in a month becos it zapps slowly. To order for yours, call/Watsapp Kelvin 07034796838

  15. Guys i wanted to do the as usual 12:00 to 4:00 midnight mtn plan so i slept early at night and work up 3:30 hoping to get some things downloaded on my device cuz of the mtn 3G service here after subscribing i realise that it's not going through….. I rebootd my phone three times still having hope buh later went hope less…. Pls is there any one who has experienced such ????

    • Actually I did had similar problem with Mtn night 500mb… Next time go to your APN settings, select your APN type to default only… Leaving wap,AI etc. It will start. Hope it helps?

  16. Something tells me this is a cheap marketing stunt by data sellers seeing there are defeated. If at all data feels less than subscription, it's usually by a small margin, not the ridiculous stories these marketers will have us believe.
    Human beings never change.

  17. In as much as this networks might be Zapping our data, most of us still browse very loosely. We all use high end phones this days and you don't even need to download before exhausting a good amount of data.
    Here's a few tip u can use to minimize data consumption I got from a nairaland user
    Go to your phone's settings and restrict background data and switch off auto-sync. Use 3G strictly for downloading and streaming, and Edge for browsing. You can also switch off images from your browser from time to time, especially when visiting websites with heavy media footprints.
    You will be amazed how long just 10mb will last you, i.e., if you are only browsing, not to talk of 6Gig. And when you download a 100mb movie for example, 100mb is what will be deducted from your balance. You will no longer have to deal with the headache of downloading a 70mb stuff but ending up instead with a deduction of 100mb.
    And last but not the least, beware of play store. It's an mb drunkard( due to it's many icons and images).

  18. Sipping my juice, bro I use Airtel 3gig for 1k in day time while I use Mtn night 500mb #25 for download and to update my apps, since Airtel Nigeria has changed their night plan to suit the ogas at the top.

  19. Ah have been keeping mute since cos ah was actually thinking that am the only one experiencing it. Buh ah thank God today for the kind of comments ah have seen here now.
    And ah can't tell if airtel is even more righteous than MTN nowadays wen it comes to lying.

  20. It is more than data zapping: 3.5GB all day plan was converted to night plan and the data disappeared 1GB for N500 is like Chibok Girls. EmptyHen always acts dubiously
