@ all:Personally,regarding the ambitions of Buhari and IBB,I think they are looking for an opportunity to set things right based on what had happened with their administrations in the past.
I do hope the new mobile company will be giving free offerings,it needn't be as long as either glo or celtel's offer,but I hope it is much longer than mtn's 30-day stint |

Hi guys, I've been without gprs 4 almost a week now & its like I haven't had a fix in days.
I've tried jumping on d grenade, but there's no gunpowder in it. Gprs has been detached on all Celtel lines until commercial launch.
MTN gprs has been down 2 & only came up last nite. So 4 now, MTN has become my defacto service provider.
@Abu: I know next 2 nothing about flurry mail, but if they may send ur activation code 2 d number u provide.

Celtel is off for now and I guess the next time it comes on will be with the billing plan onboard. |

Why is it taking so long for Nigerians to get stable data services.

Nothing seems to work in Nigeria because the necessary infrastructure, institutions and social amenities that should aid other things to work properly are missing..
Electricity
Fuel
health care
water
Education
security
politics
leadership
Employment
transportation
judiciary
Every sector is in chaos so therefore, even if Tmobile, Orange or vodafone comes to Nigeria, i bet you things will never still work the way they do in advanced countries.. As long as they employ Nigerians in customer service, marketing, maintenance e.g. things will never work.. bureaucracy is the order of the day.

Ah ah mamba, thats a bit extreme. Some things do work in Nigeria. Despite the chaos is the public sector, the private sector aint doing badly.
Glo gprs has been stable since commercial launch, MTN hasn't been all that bad. The major problem is within the nation's administrative circles that creates bureaucratic bottlenecks which hinder the smooth flow of activities in the private sector. Remember also that gsm is barely 5yrs old in Nigeria.
