  • Why You Should Not Buy the MTN Turbonet Right Now

    Why You Should Not Buy the MTN Turbonet Right Now

    The MTN Turbonet, sold by MTN Ghana, started to get popular in the last few months as it promised consumers an affordable way to surf the internet and stay connected with their friends, family and colleagues.

    But experts warn that you should not buy the device right now if you want to save your money and keep you safe on the internet. There are several reasons why this is true, which are outlined below.

    About MTN Turbonet

    Mtn Turbonet is a device that comes with a data service that offers users a cheap data plan for a period. For this a given price, MTN Turbonet users enjoy relatively fast internet on a device (router) that supports 4G.

    What makes MTN Turbonet the peoples choice?

    It offers competitively priced data bundles and offers an affordable way to stay connected with friends and family both locally and abroad. The MTN Turbonet is super-fast when it comes to browsing through photos, videos, or even just surfing the web.

    Where to purchase MTN Turbonet

    As at now, MTN official stores has not yet announced new turbonets which means they are out of stock. However, you can get a home used MTN turbonet from online shops such as jiji, tonaton, locanto and others.

    Also, you may pounced on someone personally selling his own either in WhatsApp groups, Facebook, twitter or anywhere possible. But, make sure to purchase original ones that comes with it own sim card.

    How to know if MTN turbonet is not fake

    When buying used MTN turbonet, make sure it comes with its sim card. That is the only way you can enjoy the turbonet bundles. If not you will have to purchase a normal mtn bundle to access the turbonet.

    Buy a Turbonet with a bundle shortcode of *5057# and not *138#. If the seller tells you to bundle on *138# shortcode, that is not a Turbonet you are buying.

    Why you should not buy the MTN turbonet right now

    1. The customer service experience is sometimes not the best

    Not only is customer service unreliable, but due to poor customer experience, it seems like they just want people to stop using their service. After going through many customer service representatives, I finally found a person who was knowledgeable and helpful enough to answer my questions and deal with my issues. They were able to remedy some of the previous problems I had encountered, however at this point I am simply exhausted.

    Calling MTN customer service is sometimes hectic. You put a call through the whole day and you will not be attended to which may have to force you to go to their physical store yourself making you to waste your money on transportation.

    If you are lucky and your call gets answered, you may be unluckily get someone who does not even know how to answer or solve your problems for you.

    Imagine needing Internet for something important and then your Internet gets disrupted but no customer agent to instantly solve your problem.

    2. There are other alternatives that offers less cost and fast Internet connection

    There is competition everywhere good and there is no exception when it comes to Internet data. Other networks also has the same services with lower data bundle offers compared to that of MTN which may give you headache on which one to go for.

    3. Cost of internet packages are increasingly getting expensive

    MTN has increased their internet packages by 30% which means that customers are paying more for less. The company is also looking to charge out of country subscribers an additional 20% which would mean that users would pay 60% more for the same service.

    4. The services are now limited to large scale users

    The turbonet when it first came into existence was sold to anyone. But currently, due to high demands, if you are to go for the turbonet, you will be asked several questions and if you are not someone who has a large internet usage, you will be denied purchase.

    5. Delay in restock making used ones overpriced and causing fraudulent activities

    When the MTN turbonets are out of stock, restocking becomes another issue which takes alot of time. This makes home used users over price theirs and if care is not taken, buyers ends up buying fake ones and losing their precious money.

    6. MTN Turbonet works with only one network provider

    The MTN turbonet works with only MTN sim which makes users to be forced to always buy MTN data which makes it not interesting to use. If it should come as a universal turbonet, it would have been great to switch to other network sim whenever the MTN network is slow.

    Conclusion

    The MTN turbonets are currently out of stock but I’m sure it will become available soon. In the meantime, I think that there are other alternatives on the market that will suit your needs just as well if not better.

  • What happens to your Mobile Money when your SIM is blocked?

    What happens to your Mobile Money when your SIM is blocked?

    Many people whose SIM Cards are blocked seem to be questioning what exactly happens to their Mobile Money account and balance.

    If you have not registered your MTN Sim Card, you most likely have had your SIM blocked, and your calls, SMS, etc., are not working. You can not access MTN Ghana’s services due to the blocking.

    The recent blocking of SIM cards has led many to ask if their Mobile Money balance will be secure, especially those outside Ghana who cannot register their SIM Cards, even with the SIM registration app.

    Most of these people do not have Ghana Card, so there is no way for them to do the registration.

    What happens to your mobile money account when your SIM is blocked?

    Unlike a dormant mobile money account, we can say that when MTN blocks your SIM due to failure to register, your money will remain intact in the account. Some people with blocked SIMS can still dial *170# and access their Mobile Money.

    However, it will be prudent to register as soon as possible or immediately transfer your funds or withdraw them.

    It will continue to be more frustrating if you have not registered your SIM card; hence it’s best to do so if you can.

    For those outside the country, MTN has an online portal for registration (if you have a Ghana Card). That could be utilized as well.

    Conclusion

    Your Mobile Money account is safe for now. However, the best thing to do is to register your SIM or empty the MoMo account of a SIM you don’t want to register.

  • Call Barring? How to restore your blocked MTN, Vodafone, etc SIM

    Call Barring? How to restore your blocked MTN, Vodafone, etc SIM

    Many Ghanaians have reported that they cannot make phone calls simply because their numbers have been blocked or barred from making calls. We explore the solutions available to enable such people to continue to enjoy call and data services.

    If you have no network at all, you can just restart your phone and you should be able to receive phone calls.

    First, this has to do with the ongoing SIM Registration exercise and is unrelated to phone settings or network problems.

    If you cannot make phone calls because it does not connect or says “call barred,” your Network Provider, e.g., MTN, could have disabled your SIM from making calls. Some people could still receive calls and use data services when this happens.

    This morning, 9th September 2022, a lot more people are complaining that their SIM cards are even now unable to connect to the internet. If you are one of such people with a blocked SIM, you most likely can not do the following:

    • Make and receive phone calls ( Update: Phone calls seem to come through now)
    • Send and receive SMS
    • Access Mobile Money and other USSD functions
    • Use Mobile Data
    • Use the MTN App (because you can’t receive SMS)

    So how can you unblock your SIM Card under this circumstance? Let’s look at some options.

    How to unblock MTN, Vodafone or AirtelTigo SIM

    There are a few things you can do to unblock your SIM. MTN and the other Telcos will likely restore the SIM Cards and later block them again. But the best thing would be to make sure that it doesn’t happen to you again.

    Here are steps you can take to unblock your Ghana SIM Card

    Re-register your SIM Card with your Ghana Card

    Registering your SIM Card is the most obvious solution. If you have not done the first part of the registration, now that your SIM Card is blocked, you will not be able to do it.

    You can follow the registration steps when available to register your SIM Card fully. You can also try using the SIM Registration app, although it has not worked correctly for me since it launched.

    Visit the Telco Office

    There is some group of people who have successfully gone through the registration process but still have their calls barred. All those who have registered but still had their SIM cards blocked will have to visit their Telco’s office to solve the problem.

    Conclusion

    The blocking or call barring resulting from telcos blocking can only be solved if the Telcos and the NCA “relax” for those who are yet to register their SIM cards. Some Ghanaians are also planning a class action lawsuit, and if you have been affected and want to join them, you can fill out this form: https://forms.gle/TyMsAGSckcanQzmj8.

  • How To Activate MTN Unlimited Data Plan Via FBB

    How To Activate MTN Unlimited Data Plan Via FBB

    The internet has perpetually become part of our lives. If not for work, then for entertainment, studies or business. There’s absolutely a reason for you to access the internet every single day.

    The only language which the internet understands is data. Data in the form of things you read, view and see on the internet and ultimately, the currency you use to access this information on the internet.

    There are well of a few tens of internet service providers in Ghana. It’s no doubt that internet cost seems to be on the high here. The service providers even make it worse by adding expiry dates to their data packages.

    This means that even when you struggle to buy their expensive data packages and you are unable to finish it within the given time frame, you tend to lose the remaining data altogether.

    In this article, we introduce you to how you can activate the unlimited MTN Data Package using the Fibre Broadband (FBB) service.

    What’s MTN FBB?

    MTN Fibre broadband is a fixed high-speed internet service provided for homes and offices.

    The FBB service enables users to stream videos, watch live shows, play games online and surf the internet at high speed of up to 60Mbs.

    The service is however available only in some parts of the country. You can check the coverage areas here.

    How It Works

    In order to have access to the MTN Fibre broadband service, you need to contact MTN to set you up through the following processes:

    1. MTN will extend a fibre optic cable from the nearest location to your office or home.
    2. They’ll then connect a router at your office or home (whichever you are installing the service at). Then they’ll link the device to the fibre optics.
    3. Next, they’ll configure your router for internet access.
    4. Finally, you can access the internet via Wifi or the cable.

    Fibre Broadband Data Packages

    The Fibre Broadband service provides two types of data packages for users. There’s the capped data packages and unlimited data packages.

    Unlimited data packages allow users to use as much data as they want within a specific time frame. This is mostly a monthly data package.

    The unlimited data package is however further sub-categorized based on speed. It starts from 2Mbs up to 60Mbs.

    The Capped data packages are normal data packages that come with a specific volume at a specific cost and last for as long as the user manages without an expiry.

    See below the data packages and their prices.

    CAPPED DATA PACKAGES
    VolumePrice
    6.22GB25
    10.36GB40
    46.64GB125 
    233.18GB250 
      

    Note: These are the special data packages. You can buy higher amounts by putting in your preferred amount to get its related data volume.

    UNLIMITED DATA PACKAGES
    VolumePrice (GHS)Speed
    Unlimited5932MBPS
    Unlimited9904 MBPS
    Unlimited1,4906MBPS
    Unlimited1,8338MBPS

    Unlimited2,58016 MBPS
    Unlimited3,07320 MBPS
    Unlimited6,44045 MBPS
    Unlimited8,27460 MBPS

    Conclusion

    MTN Fibre broadband is one of the fastest internet connectivity available in Ghana. It provides a speed of up to 60 MBPS.

    If you’re looking for a high-speed internet service which offers unlimited data packages, then you have MTN Fibre broadband to turn to.

    However, if your area is not covered by the Fibre broadband service, then you may want to consider the MTN Turbonet. It also provides a similar service except that it doesn’t have unlimited packages.
