Now, here is a good news to all Nigerians. The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has mandated all telecom operators in the country to give extra 14 days grace period once someone's data subscription expires without using all the data.
For instance, if you subscribed for one month data plan and you couldn't uses up the data before the 30 days or 31 days period, you will get extra 14 days grace period to use up the data. This is what NCC meant. The top networks providers in Nigeria like MTN, 9Mobile, Airtel and Glo are all affected.
According to a yesterday's report from ThisDay quotes a representative of the Executive Vice Chairman NCC, Professor Umar Danbata, at the Consumers Conversation Forum held in Minna, Niger State thus:
WHAT I KNOW SO FAR ABOUT THIS
This directives from NCC is not yet effective as of the time of this publication but I hope it's taken serious and implemented.
If it's implemented, am sure most of us will be very happy as some people rarely exhaust their monthly data bundle subscription and when there is no "data rollover" attached to the plan, you lost the data just like that.
Personally, whether it's implemented or not, I don't think it will affect me because even the Airtel 6GB for N1500 data plan is not enough for me in two weeks talk more of not using it up in 30 days.

That's still a piece of shit,never meant to be implemented.just News
ReplyDeleteEven if they do its never what we wanted,increase the data not the periodity simple
ReplyDeleteNCC are Unbelievable
ReplyDeleteTowards the end of this post, you said what i had wanted saying.
ReplyDeleteI usually sub twice a month cos 3gb isn't enough for me to do all my online stuffs.
Now that the first issue has been addressed, let's look into the second issue.
ReplyDeleteWhat if one is able to exhaust his data before the expiry date?
What's the faith of such a person?
Conclusively, NCC should mandate Telecom Operators to reduce the price of data and also check how these data is being deducted.
ReplyDeleteAirtel is guilty of deducting data without mercy. Lols
nice move by ncc
ReplyDeleteI usually buy data twice in a month.I started with mtn..they are called finisher cos they can deduct someone's mb..so I moved on with Airtel,Airtel are thieves ..they will give u 1.5gb..wen u use 1.2gb they disconnect u....while etisalat are finisher cos 1gb can finish under 7days...
ReplyDeletewhile glo are the merciful...
among the network I prefer glo
but their network is damn poor
I subscribe fr 1gb ,then recharge ma spectra net...I think its enough
ReplyDeletethis really good o, but they should also make them do something about their customer cares manner of responding to their customers, and also offer more of quality services than what we have now.
ReplyDeletehavent done this, kudos to them but there is still much to do. Thanks for this update sir,
ReplyDeletehahahhaha we are really appreciate this but we hope this will happing
ReplyDeleteNCC need to do some thing on poor network
ReplyDeleteEnter your comment...pls can I know more abt d airtel 6gb for 1500
ReplyDeleteThis order from NCC isn't yet successful as of the time of posting this article yet I trust it's taken genuine and actualized.
ReplyDeleteIn the event that it's actualized, am certain that many of us don't exhaust the data allocated and if there is nodata rollover then the data is waisted
Actually, regardless of whether it's actualized or not, I don't think it will be of help to me personally in the sense that i still have the grace of Double Data Offer10GB isn't sufficient for me in two weeks talkless of not finishing it for 30days.
Even with the current given 30days its much for the data given.
ReplyDeleteRate of Data reduction is high,let them stop fingering our brain oo
ReplyDeleteAm also wondering about the high data deduction rate on all networks!.....
