Does that mean Mtn users can still enjoy ntel data plans too?
This is a welcome idea.. But would it have high charges?
Wow, this is a very nice movement. Am loving this Ntel
Very good if the idea is implemented and hitch free.
really good move it is. so 4g services will be nationwide na?
This is wonderful. Why is nothing being said about Glo?
I love this collabo. If is a welcome development
This is a very good thing. I recall several times when i hav subscribed to a data plan and then i travel and where i go to the network coverage is so poor i can't use it and the other network dat I'm not subscribed to has full strong network. With dis roaming feature i can just roam on the stronger network available wherever i am. I just hope it spreads across all the networks in due time
It may help because one thing I hate about only 4g network is u can't make calls or receive call without data. Even their so called voxhd is nonsense, it doesn't work on most devices.
Kudos to ntel for the nice move
Hi everyone, Yomi or any good friend here should help me. I have free data on my 9mobile, I can't use it unless it is 12am to 5am. Is there any VPN I can download with sittings to enable me use it during d day..?
It's a great move that will be of benefit to everyone.
Is ntel compatible with xiaomi mi max 2, bcos i bought one today and registered it as well, but the ntel network fluctuate one a while…..and i don't have any money with me for mifi or wifi now………any other way for me to use it on xiaomi mi max 2
when will it be fully available in owerri?
This is actually good for ntel users….
This actually a good move…good one for ntel uaers
This would really b a boom…. Love that
This is good.
Great team work.
Just pray something good will come out
Prof did not tell us the cost implications of this roaming. Roaming always attracts hefty cost on users
Roaming with 9mobile I pray dis partnership works out for the betterment of these cox roaming has high cost attached to it
Laudable collaboration, mine is to have better and more stable network.. As far as I'm concern that's the end that will justify the whole process.
Welcomed innovation
