RE: Get Unlimited Lite Data Plan To Access Steem Block Chain From Nigeria For 30 Steem Dollars/Month.

in #technology7 years ago

Thank you for giving this tip.
Nevertheless I think it's still on the high side spending up to 10,000 Naira/30sbd on subscription monthly.
In my area,Lagos, 2,000 Naira 9mobile subscription gives me 3.5GB of data which lasts for about two weeks and minimum of 12days if I take some break at night. In a month I'll surely spend about 4,000naira or 5,000naira Max on subscription. Yet it's unfavorable.

In my opinion, we need investors to turn around the time as its getting unbearable. Worst is that the data plans of some of the operators are equivalent to exploitation. You subscribe for 3.5GB and in reality what is there is 2GB. From research MTN data falls in this category.

Hello @bob-elr.

I would rather spend N10,000 to get unlimited/uncapped service from my ISP, than spend half that amount (N5,000) to get 7 GB (3.5 +3.5). That is for me who practically reside online. Lol! People are different. So, subscription to a service should be according to the needs of the person.

As one with business acumen, Investors would only want to invest in a business that promises great ROI. There are a lot of factors that need consideration like power supply/electricity, security, favourable regulatory policies etc. Hmm...only FGN, NCC & MTN* know what they are doing. Moreover, I think FGN is still allowing MTN to operate in Nigeria because of the pact she has with Brazil, Russia, India, China & South Africa (BRICS).

If I may ask Mam, when does the 10k unlimited subscription to the smile expires?

Could you please read the article again? It is clearly spelt out there, even in the heading/title of my post. When we write that a service is monthly, the assumption is that provision of that service will expire after 30 days, unless renewed. Some companies stick to 28 days. So, reading the terms and conditions of a company is important. I haven't read the terms and conditions for smile communications Nigeria Limited ISP.

Lol. How did you arrive at this conclusion? Do you have an accurate data tracking app that confirmed this? I've always heard of this, but I haven't really taken out time to verify its authenticity. Remember some opportunistic app run in phone's or PC's background siphoning data even when we are not browsing. Until I've verified this, I'll just stay on the fence on this one.

Lmao don't just stay on the fence. Find out quickly. My phone tells me how each app on it consumes and the quantity. There have always being a clear difference in MTN comparing it to when I use 9mobile.

I will check if I do decide to USE MTN
