I used the MTN 24-hour 50mb package yesterday, and it was then it really dawned on me: at 15k per kb, 50mb would be N7,500; wouldn't it? Unless my calculation is wrong, this is a REAL steal! Plus, browsing on my smartphone alone, I had to think up ways of using up my 50mb within 24 hours. Though I didn't really need them, I decided to download videos and even watch Youtube. Of course, it was soon over. As soon as the 50mb was up, the connection grabbed and emptied my airtime - in the middle of a video download
To avoid that sort of problem i used a new sim with no airtime

@O'Yom: My 50MB only lasted 12 hours because like you I was trying to use up every MB. I wonder how I managed with glo's 35k/kb all this while.

@Brym: Guess we are both in a 'breaking in' phase. It'll probably pass with use and we'll just use the service without trying to eat all we can out of the 50mb.

Successfully made a videocall on the MTN network today. Was great!
when everyone was silent abt vid calls, i thot no one was reading thru the thread. is it mtn was late in rolling out the service in lag? i thot surely u had made them long ago!
by the way, my SMS BONUS is now N540. how do i use it b4 the month runs out and it disappears? the mtn web site is hopeless in procuring info and customer care is unreachable! in fact, as mtn has risen the bar in services, i've risen the bar in my expectations from them.

@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.

@amby: ddnt see ur post.i think u GET N5 bonus for every mtn-mtn SMS made. i only use my phone to make mtn-mtn sms and its when i was sending out bulk sms last wk that the bonus appeared. i get u expend it on non-mtn sms which i rarely make with my mtn. i'll try it and post results.
