MOBILE NETWORK OR MOBILE NET FRAUD?????

It was hell of a life when we didn't have any means of communication,but we survived....

It was a blessing when Telecommunication companies arrived(or so we thought),

as I felt like throwing my phone into the Lagoon today.....

Why do I need a phone when I can't get across to people,

If it isn't :

Connection error,

It is Network Busy,

Or a Voice says; "the number you are calling is not available", where as the number being called is available.

The Network I use has been misbehaving for the past three days, I went to a client's office, and stood outside for over an hour trying to get across via GSM, to no avail.

That is just the Tip of the Iceberg as I was calling a particular number and my phone kept displaying "connection error", only to discover later that N750 was deducted from my account without talking to anyone, Worst of all the receiver's phone had recorded 21 missed calls from me when I had called 10 times.

If you tried calling any of their customer care lines, that voice comes alive into your ears again"all trunks are busy please try again later" .You could spend eternity trying to get across to them again, but with little or no success as you will be left with listening to their adverts offering you all kinds of products.

I recall when I bought my Internet Modem, it took me over 3days to get the modem working.

I always have an unpleasant time browsing, due to the slow service my Internet modem provides and impromptu data disconnection...I felt it was the fault of the network provider and acquired more modem from other networks, did it it make any difference?...birds of same plumage.

Do they really fulfil their brand promise? "Ptscew"

Anyways, I call them Mobile Net Fraud, since I don't get the service I pay for...any money spent should have full value attached to it but not in the case of the Telecoms company in Nigeria.You are loosing money, but they are smiling to the bank...But I must keep talking...

I wonder when this nightmare will be over.

Having one Mobile line, is no longer an option, since I cannot rely on any.

MY BLACKBERRY & I

It all started in 2008 when my Dad went to America and came back with a phone called Blackberry Pearl.
It was love @ first sight between I and the phone, considering how small and fragile it looked, and of course it was sexy due to its red colour.

I could only admire the phone and hope it becomes mine one day, as it belonged to my Dad.
To prove the love I had for the Blackberry pearl, I will beg my dad every day to dash me the phone, giving him reasons like.... Its a female phone, Guys don't use red phone's, its too small and fragile for a Guy etc...
My prayers where finally answered when my dad said I can have the phone, once I copy all his phone numbers into his diary, this was not the First time I was asked to write out his numbers, when ever I was asked to, it will take me a minimum of one week, to write out all the numbers, but this time, was different cuz I could not imagine staying with out my Blackberry pearl for one week.
To prove my unending love for her (Blackberry Pearl) I copied all d numbers that usually takes me a minimum of one week, in three hours.
My dad kept his word and I became a proud owner of a Blackberry....

Every where I went to my friends loved my phone, some had never seen a blackberry and had no idea what it was capable of.... I thought I will never let my BB Pearl go.
But reality set in after having her for 8 months, I was bored and hated to look at her as she was aging terribly, her sexy red coating was peeling off.
I was so bored that I gave her to my younger brother and bought a Blackberry Curve, of course I was excited... New love always comes with Fireworks, this time it was a more interesting ride, as a handful of my friends now had their own BB and we could chat, of course Chatting came at a price as we had to pay 5000 naira every month I.e 60,000 for a year for BIS subscription.

Now, it is 2011... that is 2 years plus since I started using Blackberry... And am not sure if I fell in Love with the right Phone, cuz I receive more heart breaks than when I was in Love with Nokia.
My blackberry battery doesn't hesitate to run down, and takes 'forever' 2 get fully charged,
the key pads have a mind of theirs, it is fragile therefore can not be multi tasked, The track ball messes up constantly, I have to remove my battery and fix it back when the phone 'Jams', if my Nokia phone drops, I don't Mind, but if my blackberry drops, my heart skips a Zillion beats, due the possibility of my BB never coming on again...
With all these Heart breaks, I Wonder why I still use a Blackberry...
Maybe I can't do with out chatting with my dad, or I guess I love d quick gossips my friends and I exchange while we chat, or Better still am just like the girl who won't leave her boyfriend after he beats her, turning her to his daily punching bag. Hmmm!
I guess the love story between Diane Wilcox and her Blackberry, should be tagged Gangster love....
I hope am able to summon courage to break up with my blackberry..... Wish me Luck.
I will keep u posted.
