I think the problem is that Nigeria is dry tech wise. Nothing really to excite the "boyz". Our phone industry must be one of the driest in the world. We dont get new phones (why is iPhone not launching in Nigeria?), our data services are epileptic and prohibitively expensive etc.
Nigeria is only good for the mid-range phones. Not much wireless hot spots (so wifi phones are of no value), no map for Nigeria (so gps is of no use on our phones), monthly cost of mobile data is more than the minimum wage (so HSDPA are way out), what then is there to post about in forums like this? |

@dawny: The data services in Nigeria now is calculated to shorten lives that's why majority av taken a hike away from forums suchlike.CHECK THE TIME I posted this; it's the first time since morning that I could open a page online on MTN 3.5G network. You'd be in a fit no sooner that you decided to enliven your day online. And peeps pay for daily BUNDLES of such TOSH. Well let them wait, I'll SOON subscribe! LOONY TOONS!!!! |

well peoples, etisalat set up a shop in Ibadan today to redeem the uchoose0809 numbers and yours truly was one of the first callers!
I'm adequately impressed by their range of value added services in-principle. Check them out.
1. Receiving party pay (You can call somebody's number and the person agrees to pay for the call). Used to be "Collect call" or "reversed charges" calls. Very useful thing to have knowing that you can always make that important call even if you cant recharge your phone.
2. You can recharge another line from your phone. Your old man never need to recharge his phone again. Hey son, recharge my phone!
3. Missed call notification (you recieves sms for calls made to your phone while it is off or out of network)
These are in addition to the usuals.

@adrusa: Sounds interesting! At least, they are being original.
Any news about their Lagos outlets?
PS: So, did you get to pick up your SIM?

Ya, sure, and my wife's own. I was told I have to wait 24hr to get activated though.
Check www.etisalat.com.ng for the redemption centres in your location.

As I said I'm still waiting to activate my line. But, at the redemption centre, the computers that were being used had usb gprs modem connected and I was told that that is what they are using for their internet access and it IS Etisalat. |

Etisalat is offering EDGE at speeds "in excess of 180kbps". Its usable with PC too. Tariff: 35k per kb.
A summary of Etisalat's services: Etisalat now up and running.
Thanks for the heads-up, Adrusa!
