Those glo customer help line guys are not even qualified for their job.
Most of them dont even know much about their network, they always offer wrong solutions. |

MTN & Vee have to carry out an overhaul of their obsolete networks, withdraw their 16kb SIMs from all existing subscribers & eplace with minimum of 32k in order to be able to offer GPRS.

I still have my p800 but I only use the multimedia features, for surfing via GPRS and for receiving calls since outgoing calls keep dropping.
Many call centers now make GSM calls for as low as =N=15, thanks to Vmobiles range of BUMPA cards.
Vmobile is probably the cheapest network with customer friendly tarrifs and free stuffs.......
I've decided to switch from MTN to Vmobiles V-step... |

What else does 2.5g offer when compared to 2g apart from GPRS(wap and mms) |

@mamba: About V's free stuff; my wife use V. They give her free SMS but chooce which SMS she sends and when the free thing applies. So she has 10 free SMS, but she sends one now & she's billed. At another time, its free. Hogwash!

MTN customer care couldn't configure my phone for WAP. I did it & was browsing in minutes. Glo customer care can't explain difference between WAP & GPRS, & can't tell that a P800 is GPRS-enabled. What do they know?!

@AYA...that's really bad customer care from both networks... Down here you get sent GPRS settings direct to your phone this is done by entering a special USSD network code.

@brix25: To be fair to Glo, they also do OTA provisioning, but man, their custmer care ppl can be ignorant. MTN Nigeria? You have to go see them, & even then there is no guarantee they can set you up.

aya, mtn has wap but they dont advertise it, why?
I setup my sagem v55 for mtn wap and I must confess, it's really expensive. Is there any cheaper means?
