@amby: I'm a model so I cant post up my photo without getting paid!!!! All these late night call options are not too attractive to me. (though i bought a MTN line day before!!!) If they give cheaper calls at off-peak, say 15-20 bucks a min, that will be a real deal.
@Ifed: lets see what happens by this xmas. It might be a real royal rumble!!!
@areaf: you remind me of a friend that says she doesnt have time to call or text becos of work. Like it takes a brain surgeon to post up while eating lunch. Carry go!!!!
@coola: didnt i come up with the "vampire" hours? No copyright!!!!! they cant charge gprs per min. it has to be per kb.

Guess Glo's "off-peak" hours.... 10pm to 12pm!!!!
Is it legal for them to keep shifting the goal posts like that?

Oh, sorry... must have missed the post. Wonderful term Abu.
Talking about Vamp Hours, I will be available on weekends for anyone interested. Yes, it is difficult gettin someone u can disturd at that strange hour.... but I did repay someone who had called me before. The call quality on Glo was good. And I didn't dial more than once.
My Glo is: 0805-505-6747 (most of the old-timers already have it)
My MTN is... er... I never really memorised the number. One of those pick-n-use SIM's.
And I can only receive calls on it since I am not ready to load any N100 credit on it. Glo allows calls without any such conditions.
@AYA ...sorry o! I guess I just associated u with a Contract Package... like Amby did with CDMA some posts back. I wonder why that is happenin
@Abu Nope, I asked for confirmation from my pal and he said it was N6/min and not per kb.
I noticed NO ONE is crying with me over the end of the MTEL GPRS party? hehehe... God de. Eat alone and die alone.

How can that be? GPRS is charged per packet worldwide, not on time spent

I once used to recharge my celtel line, but i've since moved to MTN. remember there are many others like me out there. The longer they waste time to react, their market share gets eroded. That's why i pity them.
Me too. I havent recharged my Celtel line in a week now, ordinarily, I would have spent N7,000 minimum. Same thing with my Land line.

One mans poison is another mans meat. While amby and mamba and dropping Celtel, it has now become my hot favourite because it is the only way I can browse the net for free. After abandoning it for months I have just gotten Celtel wap working again. I am using it now for this post. Speed is great probably because I am the only person in Abuja using it. The internet via pc is proving tougher. So, guys, just dont chew the sim yet.

Ok, finally got the Celtel GPRS for free internet access. It worked with the old IP address. But the speed is pathetic. Can't get anything worthwhile done at these speeds: Max 1.3 KB/s Download speeds of 0.1-2.5? Haba?

@pxth: Dont allow those old claims that the GSM cos have been giving to fool you. If PTOs could survive on making local tariffs less than N10 why cant the GSM cos? its not magic. The major drawback is thier reluctance to expand thier equipement. The more subscribers they can handle simultaneously, the less the costs will be. They want to milk the nation with the least capital input and most profit generated output. NCC is supposed o be our saviour, but with them INCREASING interconnection fees for PTOs, who's side are they on?

I agree with Amby. i will call my guy to find out. But since its not a CSD connection, i wonder how they can do that

The NCC had some consultants work out these figures since the networks have refused to work things out themselves. What stops them from collectively reducing the price of SMS? it has remained at N15 for five years! If they (the GSM Guys) had met and dropped the interconnection fee from N18 to N13-14, we would have been fooled into praising them for reducing the rate. But, no, they refused until the NCC waded in. Now it is like N12.
Moreover, the PTO's are not complaining. They seem to be happy that they cam make more ARPU.
I see them rushing free all-night calls too just to remain relevant.

Dont say that! So many people I know are now using thier pto phones less and less since this happened. It makes more sense to put all your money in one gsm phone and go for one off the special packages aimed at high loaders rather than put small in pto, small in gsm1, small in gsm 2
