Posted by Zeathaminor | November 19, 2014, 3:47 pmWhen ever I try connecting it will connect and the open my browser. Then etisalat website will open and tell me that I should buy etisalat even when I have BIS
Posted by osim | June 29, 2015, 2:39 pmIts not working with BIS….or does it work with BIS…please give me a guide
Posted by Anonymous | July 14, 2015, 11:56 amAs long as airtime is still deducted then it’s not a fair deal but a trash trapping to exploit people. That shouldn’t be called a modem-like plan at all. It’s an insincere trick. All networks in Nigeria are insincere and unconcerned in certain range. Nevertheless, of all of them, in data case, etisalat is the best.
