MTN Urge NG Government to Ban WhatsApp Messenger

In the word of the wise, where there is no definition, there are bounds to be deviations. Earlier, we’ve heard all manner of suggestions to add tax to all calls longer than 3Min; followed by an attempted increase in the price of data… 

Now MTN boss is suggesting that the federal government should take  action against WhatsApp because its affecting their services. In order words, ban whatsapp in Nigeria.

The Chief Executive Officer, CEO, of MTN Nigeria, Mr. Ferdinand Moolman,  disclosed that the activities of ‘over-the-top’ companies like WhatsApp, Viber have adverse effects on its business and affects the sustainability of Nigeria’s telecommunications industry.

… the MTN boss pointed out that these companies were eroding gains of Nigeria’s telecom companies and asked Nigeria to take action like the United Arab Emirates did.

You want to know what actions United Arab Emirates took? WhatsApp, snapchat calls banned in UAE… Inshort it can land you in Jail.

This is to tell you that even the Telcos are in supports for the data increase. What do you think will happen if WhatsApp is mistakenly ban in Nigeria?

HOW TO KNOW IF YOUR SMARTPHONE IS COMPATIBLE WITH MTN 4G NETWORK

It's no longer news that MTN now delivers 4G LTE services across Nigeria, thanks to successful acquisition of Visafone earlier this year. 

However, the issue with using MTN 4G network which currently run on Band 7 (2600mHz) services is that MTN users need to swap their current SIM card with a 4G supported SIM from MTN office closest to you which is another bit of work on the customers side but not really a big deal when compared to the benefits of flexing the high speed network experience. 



MTN have made it easier for you and me to check if our phones are compatible to receive the 4G services by introducing a new short message code and this is how it works;

Your Smartphone must have 4G network features 
 Now text 4G to 131

And you should receive an SMS instantly if your device is eligible 

Yello! Your device is 4G ready but you need to upgrade your SIM to enjoy tMTN 4G LTE


Finally, just head over to any MTN office around your area once your phone is compatible and request for 4G SIM swap and you are good to go. 

Are you rocking 4G phone? Do you know that MTN, Ntel, Smile etc have several 4G LTE data plans for you? See below links;

Meanwhile, if you are still on 3G network... Hmmmm no words for now. Maybe after recessions
