Its cool trae-z, just the same reason i also got a Glo line too!

About voting with my money: I kinda feel confused now after praising Glo so much on my blog, because truth is they're f***ing up badly here in Nsukka.  Maybe it's because they only just came (not up to two weeks now).  To flash or call you'll only be succesful on your 6th try.  Many a times you'll hear "your account can't be accessed, try again later".  If you try to send a text many a times too: "sending failed"!  Man, that is really pissing me off.  With my MTN texting, calling goes one time or at most on your 3rd try.  The main reason I went for Glo are the #500 cred and the 35 free text.  But with this ... man I wouldn't mind buying MTN cred for #450 and sending my #15 text jare. Sha maybe cos they only just came here.  I think things were far better with Glo in Abuja.

I am not sure I can "ditch" my MTN line for a Glo line. Let's face it MTN is expensive and nothing comes free

but they have a wider coverage and better connectivity compared to Glo. My sister uses Glo and most of the

time I find it difficult getting her on phone, 'cos where she stays Glo's signal strength is very low.

I will like to be reached on my phone wherever I go.

Shylock of a network. MTN has the best coverage no doubt but are so greedy that they soon forgort the advantage of this over other networks. If they could bring their tarif at least down to a competitive level with other networks, they will always be ahead while others will be trying to catch up. Just like in running a race, and the man ahead of you is continuously increasing the space between you and him while you are trying to catch, means that you are hopeless. So please MTN do not try to gain the whole world and loose your customers OKAY! Life is sweet is a matter of give and take and not take all, else you die alone.

He-he-he! I was quoted in Trae_z's blog. Me getting famous!

But, jokes aside... Abuja seems to be a priority area for all the GSM networks. U think it is the same all over Naija? Think again bro!

I been around, and, people in other States can't get another number with just one dial. And the call quality is poor.

So what are you going to do now that Glo is, well, @#$! up too in Nsukka?

My verdict: U should have waited awhile before crucifying MTN!
Glo could be worse.
(But at least U got 35 free text that only works when U have credit and airtime! )

Apart from the four-letter words, I think your threatise is publishable. Needs some re-wording though Hola if U want more people to read it.

yeah..we all is famous. what i'm going to do is stick with MTN in Nsukka, but back to Glo once in ABJ. i really do despise MTN now. i wouldn't mind the publishing stuff. on ur newsletter abi? as far as i get a link on it that peeps should check the article out originally on my blog. i could send u an edited/clean copy if u want.

yeah sims are so cheap, but changing numbers is not one of my loves. i'm already having a tough time juggling between MTN and GLO (letting people know about both numbers) as i only got one handset.

I am not a brand loyalist and will as soon drop Glo as I did MTN. I vote with my money, and replacing SIMs is so cheap these days

The interesting thing is, I am certain that there are people out there who have ditched their Glo or Vmobile or Mtel line for another network too. Its just the way life is.

@trae: I understand the bit about letting people know you have 2 numbers. However, our circumstances differ.

I don't want most people to know my new number. Its strictly for family & close confidants. So, I had no problems with the switch Anyone I don't personally give my private line to and who gets it somehow and calls me on it is treated as an intruder !
