I agree with you Prof, data is the only luxury we need in these dire times. Nice innovation though, even as some will abuse this service as always
Nice one…this will be useful at this time very well
Very nice network, I’m always using mtn without this service Nigeria service will not good
How can i deactivate the Mtn beep
Just recharge your phone, that is all
i have recharged my sim but the Beep doesnt want to deactivate
Beep only works when you don’t have airtime on your phone. it is automatic for all mtn sim
Beep is automatic for all mtn line once you don’t have airtime
If I haven’t recharged for up to a week can I still use the beep flashing?
