Must Read: NCCs New Sim Replacement Regulations [Now Tightened]

The Nigerian Communication Commission has issued out a new set of guidelines that must be followed before a sim replacement can be carried out successfully.

The guidelines which are intented to set a standard for the replacement of stolen, damaged or faulty cards were made available a week ago in a bid to curb unauthorized sim replacements. Below are the new guidelines/regulations.

• Any SIM to be replaced must have been registered in accordance with the Registration of Telephone Subscribers Regulation 2011.

• Also, any subscriber, wishing to replace a SIM card must be present in person or authorise a proxy with a Letter of Authority. An exception to this is made for those replacing their SIM card through a secured online portal.

• In addition, a subscriber must present a valid photo identification such as driver’s licence, national identification card, voter card or an identification letter from a traditional ruler and religious leader.

• A subscriber is also required to present the SIM pack or other evidence of direct purchase/ownership of the SIM card in question and where that is not available, an affidavit, attesting to the ownership and loss of the SIM, must be provided.

• A proxy will be required to provide an affidavit deposed to by the owner of the SIM, copy of the deposed subscriber’s means of identification and valid photo identification of the proxy. The proxy shall be required to fill the standard form.

• The network service provider must carry out a quarterly audit of SIM replacement transactions carried out by both its staff and agents and a report forwarded to the commission. All service providers must keep a register of all SIM replacements underneath undertaken for 12 months.

• Online SIM replacement can be carried out either through the NSP’s secured website or self-service terminal. The NSP shall create on its secured website a platform where subscribers can log in to carry out SIM replacement and PIN issued by the service provider.

• The subscriber will however be required to purchase a new SIM card to which the Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number of the old SIM card would be transferred.

I think it's high time the security of our sims is taken paramount as going through all this to get back a damaged or stolen sim can tend to be a little bit tedious.

What's your view on this new guidelines, too harsh or just perfect? Hit the comments box!

Updated: Best Internet Data Plans For Smartphones in 2015

The competition is really getting hotter from our ISPs and this is giving me great joy as I believe data plans would soon be very cheap and affordable for the masses.

As a student, getting an alert about data bundle expiry really saddens me as that means extra savings from allowances. Sometimes when it's not just possible to get the subscription funds, you'll just have to stay without the internet which can be very boring.

In this post, we have compiled a list that's suites the average Nigerian internet user. With data plans at pocket friendly prices compared to the exuberant prices charged by our ISPs in the past months.

Best Internet Data Plans For Smartphones

• Airtel 1GB for #1,000 

After the release of thier double Android data, which gives 4GB at #2,000. Airtel NG was forced to come up with a cheaper data plan so as not to be overthrown by thier competitors and that's when this plan got released. The plan gives it's subscribers 1GB of data for #1,000 which is equivalent to over 1MB/Naira. You can subscribe to this plan by dialing *141*1*3*1#

Read: Airtel 4GB Android plan for #2,000

• Etisalat 1GB for #1,000 and 2GB for #2,000

Like I said earlier, the competition is getting hotter! It's now evident our ISPs are trailing each other, I really pity those who still purchase the 260MB data plan for #1,000 as that's just a NO for me. This Etisalat data plan comes in two variants, you choose the one you can afford based on the price and the data cap. The 1GB data is sold at #1,000 while 2GB is sold at #2,000. Both plans last for 3odays.

To subscribe to the 1GB for #1,000 plan, dial *229*2*7#

To subscribe to the 2GB for #2,000 plan, dial *229*2*8#

Also read: Etisalat Easy Life 4.0 Limited Edition; Calls at 11k/s

• MTN 2015MB BetterMe Bundle for #2,015

This plan was launched very early this year and a lot of people have really benefited from using this plan. The plan is even what MTN uses to promote most new devices from thier partners. At 1MB/Naira flat, you can enjoy browse/download/stream confidently for 30days. This is way much better than the 260MB plan for #1,000.

To subscribe to this plan, dial *123*4*3*1# or send "SPB" to 131.

Also Read: MTN 2go 2months data plan

• GLO 4.5GB for #2,500

To me, the plan is kind of expensive in terms of affordability for an average internet user, but it's really worth the price though as the data can be used day and night for one month. At least, it's a greater choice than the 350MB for #1,000 plan.

To subscribe to this plan, dial *127*58#

Also read: GLO Gbam+; Cheapest Tariff Plan from GLO

With the above, we think we have covered what we consider the cheapest and most affordable data plans across all our ISPs in Nigeria. Kindly bear in mind that this list will always be updated from time to time as we hope for cheaper data plans in the future.

In case you were wondering why the GLO and MTN bis plans were not included, it's because they require additional settings/apps for them to work on other devices apart from that which the plans were created for. Happy surfing!

Get 2GB Free Data From MTN - March 2015

Oh! You just exhausted your data balance?, MTN is ready to cover your data costs for this month. With the arrival of the new Infinix Hot Note smartphone in Nigeria,  sharp guys have taken advantage of it's IMEI number as it gives you 2GB data and you can also accumulate as much data as you like.

How to Get Your Own Free MTN 2GB Data

This is not a cheat, it's just a tweak into the loopholes of partiality, I keep wondering why the Infinix Hot Note will come with 2GB free data and we are using our own money to purchase data at a very expensive price.

Back to the order of the day, what is required to get this data is the first 9 digits of the Infinix Hot Note smartphone's IMEI which is 358429060.  Those who have been into the IMEI tweaking stuff before knows what to do already but for the sake of a newbie, I'll be showing you how to tweak your IMEI.

How do I tweak my IMEI? 

It's easy,  just follow this post on How to change the IMEI of an MTK Android device.

What do I do with these 9 digits? 

Just add any random 5 digits to total the IMEI to 14 numbers and use IMEI analyzer to get the last digit as it is required for the validity of the IMEI. You can download IMEI analyzer from Playstore.

Then tweak the generated IMEI to your Android device by following the post in the link above.

After successfully tweaking your IMEI, send INFINIX to 131 and you should get a response that you have received 150MB music streaming data for one month (screenshot below).

Don't worry, you just received 2GB Free from MTN, you can confirm your balance by dialling *123*4*3*2# or *559*4#.

The tweak is still new so you still have better chances of getting yours. Also be aware that you can get more free data by changing to a new IMEI, I have gotten up to 30GB on my Sim (screenshot below)  and also done for some friends too.

MTN Offers 2go Data Plan for 2 Months At N60 Only

Very late yesterday evening, I received a message for MTN informing me about the 2go mobile messenger data plan that offers a free month access for every month subscribed at the rate of N60 only. the message read thus:

Now you can chat more on www.2go.im with 1 month free internet! Subscribe to 2GO internet bundle @ N60 & get the next month free! Text 2GOM to 131 to enjoy

Am sure the message is self explanatory enough. So all 2go lovers, here's one good alternative to always stay connected to your loved ones. To subscribe just send 2GOM as text message to 131 as indicated above.

• Read: Best Internet Data Plans For All Devices - February 2015

Although the app seems to have been lost in the wind to me as I no longer use it anymore, this applies to most people too as the availability of WhatsApp and BBM on other platforms have reduced the rate at which the App is used recently. also I see no reasons why you should consider this plan as the app does not seem to consume much data except if you're a very good fan and a loyal MTN subscriber.
What do you think? Lets hear your comments.
