Believe it or not, but this is not a cheat. Glo is offering 200mb free data to browse the web for a whole day! Glo seems to enjoy giving awoof these days. Not long ago, they unveiled free 6,000 naira welcomeback bonus which is still reigning up to this moment. The guys who call themselves the grandmaster of data plan are giving these freebies in order to outdo other networks in terms of awoof and gain more customers. But again it could also be that they want to keep their disenchanted customers and capture back those who have already left them. Glo have been experiencing a meltdown among their subscribers due to their poor network service. So this business strategy may probably win back many who have turned to other networks. Moreover, it could really work great amidst the present economic crisis affecting the country. However, the awoof or bonus which is also tagged "Free Data Day", can only be activated on one condition on all Glo lines irrespecti

Image
Posted by Chris Iteh 9Mobile has officially replaced the Etisalat logo. This further confirms that Etisalat is really gone and no longer a part of the Telecommunications company. That, however, does not mean that the company’s values and ideals have been changed. Everything remains the same. The company promises to remain committed to delivering innovative and quality services.

In explaining the choice of the new logo, the CEO stated that the new logo represented the brand’s continuity and resilience. The brand’s color which remains unchanged (green) represents ‘Nigerianness’, as well as vibrancy, dynamism, life and youth. Their Facebook page has this to say on the significance of the number

Posted by Chris Iteh Is your phone still running on Windows OS? Then, sorry to say that you'll need to start thinking of upgrading to another operating system (OS), preferably one running on either Android or iOS as these two will be the ones taking the center stage on mobile phones. Why? Microsoft has decided to end support for Windows Phone 8.1 just over 3 years after its April 2014 debut. This though doesn't mean that you won’t be able to make use of your windows phone. You only will no longer be able to receive windows updates! Although, Windows 10 Mobile is still hanging around, we can't be sure if Microsoft decision will affect it. But one thing that is clear is that devices operating on WP8.1 won’t get software updates. Microsoft released their first mobile OS in 2010 with windows 7 as a way to challenge the might of Android and Apple in the mobile world. Despite its innovative efforts, Microsoft was unable to make concrete impression on the mind

But that seems to have been concluded with the announcement of the new name on Thursday. Despite this new development, EMTS assured everyone that their internal operations will not be affected and the workers under them will not be retrenched.
