This is what they call Gobe! Actually in south Africa, National
Consumer Commission (NCC) has stated unequivocally that data bundles in South
Africa must have a minimum expiry period of three years.

In Nigeria, you’ll recall that sometime last year, NCC vow to issue a directive to all telcos to give subscribers 14 days grace period
after data expiration. Meaning 1.5GB data should last you 44 days if at all you are unable to exhaust it before that day.
after data expiration. Meaning 1.5GB data should last you 44 days if at all you are unable to exhaust it before that day.
But NCC in S.A took a new turn and want data bundle
expiration to be extended to 3 years. Though I don’t know the kind of data
bundle they are using if it get exhausted before 30 days expiration or not but
some other persons are of the opinion that data bundle should be extended to 90
days.
Here we are complaining that 14 days extra grace period is
too much since you can actually finish 5GB data in less than a week. Extending
data bundle validity period for 3 years is complete madness putting on skirt
dancing along the street.

Participants at the hearing said the matter would end up in
court anyway, to which the NCC accepted a suggestion that it should seek a High
Court ruling on this legislation before it is implemented in regulation.

Three years? Hahaha… I laugh in swahili. Whoever brought that idea wasnt thinking properly
Wonders they said it shall never end. Lol, Maybe they are talking about 100gig data.
I don't see the reasonableness in this. People want data increase and not duration.
The 14days in Nigeria, I haven’t experienced it
3 years? Dats crazy. For me though i think 60 days is ok. But our main problem here in naija is not d validity. Its d cost. Still too expensive compared to other African countries
To be frank, 3 years validity is asking for too much. Even 100 GB of data will exhaust in less than 3 months
I wish this can happen here
Oga 1.5GB data no fit last me for 3 days self
Na em u wish this kind of stuff here
Maybe there subscription over there is unlimited for a month
With all this data zapping
Nigeria telecoms won't even bother.
But this one of 3 years is too much ooo
it's a joke. 3 years is juat extreme. no matter how good their data plans are, 3 years is just!!!!
what can I say self…it's funny
3yrs is too long, haba. Dy don't want d telecom providers to survive
When we are yet to implement the 14days grace period.
I cant laugh
3 yrs ? for 1 Million GB ?
Lolz. The inciator of this idea, is not thinking straight. Anyways lets watch and see
to me i see nothing bad in d 3 years of a thing, sometimes u will sub when i get to a point u will not see wot to use it for bt because the expiry days is just around d corner you will start downloading anything u see without thinking may be u need it or not……my own suggestion is that naija telecom should follow samething. increase the mgabyt we are using nd make the price drop down small and also remove the expiry period of a thing so we can use till when we exusted it. i remember sometimes ago around 2003 if u recharge 500 on ur phone dey will give u about 7days after that 7days u will not be able to use it till u recharge again den nothing like 100 naira card like now, u will av like 480 on ur phone u wnt be able to use it, u will rather visit phone call shop, bt now nothing like that, why cant them do the same thing with data plan? God help us in dis country ooo
Very funny. When data doesn't last a month #smiles … Naija and there tactics sha..
3years is too much, unless it's unlimited bundle, then no problem
That's crazy
Extending the validity of data plan doesn't make any sense from my own point of view…We need good data plans like 1k for 10gb….
yes na.e jus be like dah tmobile verizon bb sub visaphone dah year wey be 9999999999999mb wey u no fit finish in 5yrs
This must b a joke…. What is the data cap of the bundle that would take 3yrs 2exhausted
