When MTN is seriously reducing their data plan prices and making surfing the net easier, Airtel is doing the exact opposite!
The Unlimited Time based midnight plan is a plan that most downloaders depend on(including me). It is amazing that you can get unlimited data for one hour at a really cheap price of N100. Yet, Airtel has decided to silently hike up the price and tell no one about it.
Someone tried subscribing for the one-hour plan yesterday and he charged an outrageous N500!!
And Yomiprof told also told me that the three-hour plan now cost N1000!!
It made me start wondering, 'Is this as a result of the current increase in price of almost every thing or just a telecommunications company trying to show their muscles?'
Yesterday, I tried subscribing for the N200 three-hour plan with over N200 in my account balance, it said I was unable to subscribe to the plan due to insufficient balance.
Then I called their customer service to lodge a complaint and the representative said it was as a result of a system upgrade that I was unable to subscribe saying I should try again in 24 hours time.
Now, here's the shady part.. If you dail *481# you'll see that all the plan appear to be at their normal price.
However, if you try subscribing for them, you'll be charged way more than you planned for.
