I still cannot browse with Zain, so I deleted all Zain settings on my device and requested for OTA settings via 232. It is close to 24 hours now, no reply from Zain...maybe the system engineer in charge has gone on leave. 
Meanwhile, my MTN night time package only resurfaced yesterday after going underground for more than 48 hours. This about the third time it is disappearing like this in two months.
Where do we go from here? Where is NCC? Do they bother to monitor these telcos or they just wait for us to complain before they investigate?

Maybe people are still in a tizzy over the EUFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. I am , definitely and would, as they say, be back soon!
@Abu. I use the daily bundle and it's been a frustrating experience. Maybe it's a luck thing but every time I'm online the service's been yuck. It gets good sometimes but u might not be predisposed to use the sevice then. But hey, it's supposed to be up for 24hrs. On that score, they FAIL. |

Talking of NCC, that body recently made Glo pay me some outstanding promo incentives.
Story goes...
I entered a promo called "Postpaid Savings Plus Plan" which promised to pay interested postpaid subscribers N4,000 every six months if they spend a minimum of N4,000 monthly on Glo services. It ran for two years(Feb. 2006 to Feb 2008).
For the first rebate which I got in October 2006, I wrote 3 reminders and 2 visits to Glo office before I got paid. For the second rebate, I wrote 5 reminders and more visits to Glo office before I got paid in March 2007. For the 3rd and 4th rebate I lost count of the reminders I wrote and visits . Glo just ignored me. So I wrote a letter to their Director, Customer Care who replied and apologised for the delays and assured me that my case will be addressed soonest. Five months after her letter, no correspondence from GLO on this issue.
I wrote a warning letter threating to take the issue to NCC. Again, they ignored me.
I made good my threat and took the issue to NCC. NCC gave them a month to resolve the issue. Within a week they replied compaining that I was trying to escalate the issue and that they had made several attempts to contact me...big lie!
Eventually this January, the 3rd incentive was paid but they informed the NCC chap handling the issue that I didn't qualify for the 4th(last) incentive. After crosschecking with me, The NCC chap asked them to go through my bills for the period again to confirm.
Two weeks ago, February 13th, the last of the incentives was paid. It was paid A YEAR AFTER the promo ended.
So watch out for Glo Promos...you have to REALLY remind and possibly report them to higher authorities before they pay! Typical IJEBU BUSINESS MODEL!
On a lighter note, I give three GBOSA to NCC. As for Glo, I still have to report them to WAZOBIA FM for Yaw and MC OPJ to flog them, throw hot water on them and break their heads with bottle. |

That is new and refreshing news. Just make sure you get a testimonial from somebody who has used it for two years before you commit. |

@Dawny: Are you sure its not an MTN SIM disguised as a foreign one? I could take an MTN line, print Vodacom on it, pay MTN for one month 24/7 internet access, sell it to you for 40k and pocket the 30k difference then disappear. Nigerians can do anything o.

Idou of course
S60 touch UI seems promising too, but no pocketable device running it has been made yet, so its a waiting game. In the interim, I still intend to replace my P1 with the G900 next month. Its now N45k |
