@Abu: I guess u use it to send MTN to MTN sms's. What baffles me is what the criteria for receiving sms bonus is. I loaded N1500 on my phone and didn't get a thing.
By the way, MTN seems to be deploying 3G across Nigeria quite rapidly. 3G is live in most parts of Benin.
@Oluyom: how much did it cost you for the video call? |

MTN has their guns trained and blazing now. Little niggles like,inability to recharge or failure to check credit has been largely addressed. Call set up is good too& congestion is almost totally absent. Was in Onitsha recently and video calls are almost turning to the default there.I pine for my beloved Glo and hope their new international status is not undermining them. It's a good world outside. |

FAF packages for Video and Voice respectively are available only on XtraConnect. It gives you calls at a 15% discount.

@O'Yom: I checked the data counter on my P1 and discovered that with MTN settings, it reads;
Total sent : 1.1 MB
Total received: 8.0 MB
After loading and using the N500 One-time option that offers 50 MB, the data counter should be reading 50 MB + . Moreso, since I was cut off 12 hours after loading instead of 24 hours. Did MTN play a fast one on me?

Hmmm... This is serious. If they are not giving the full time or they are short on the MB it'll be a heartbreaker!
Anyhow, i found out that the sms bonus is for non-mtn. |

@Ifedisky: Are you saying that the browser no longer functions? If so, you may be looking at a bug in the firmware. You may need to do a hard reset or a firmware update to have that issue resolved.

@Brym...I have noticed the same thing too. From my calculation the N500 bundle package does not offer more than 30mb. |

Well, let us all observe our data counter properly for a while and make our observations known to MTN. If dem no answer us then we go complain to Big Brother Nigeria(NCC). |

@brym, pxthomas: I downloaded and installed a 3rd party data counter, then subscribed for the 50mb package again. At about 15mb usage, I got a text that my daily had expired (just about 8 hours after subscribing). However, i'm still browsing on the bundle, as I notice that my airtime is still intact. will see how this plays out. Keeping my fingers crossed.
