I need to talk......As in, this thing is paining me.....At this our level of technology, the cheapest thing in this country should be INTERNET. See, we have more than 12 networks in this country and we still cant get internet for almost free! Haaaaaa, it is vewy vewy bad.
Say whatever you wanna say!
"It is paining him cuz he does not have money",
"He is always complaining about this and that"
All na your problem.......I dont care........I fear nobody except Jesus Christ.......And I know this thing is also affecting you! You jes want to be forming what you are not.......The time to voice out is NOW!
I was formerly using a Java Phone (Samsung Chat 322), so I didnt feel the pain this much then. Although, the phone was doing all I wanted it to do for me......if there were things the phone could not do, I transferred them to a laptop and got them done. I used to do N1000 Etisalat monthly subscribtion (265MB) which was always enough for me......sometimes sef,I no dey finish am, that's if I didn't download!
My work online became hectic and the need for a better phone (that would do the work of a laptop) arose. And at this point, my Samsung don dey perform some stunts wey don dey make me vex for am. I'm this kinda person wey be sey if what I'm using never spoil, I wont get a replacement. I no dey too vex, buh if my device vex me by behaving somehow, itz either I smash it on the floor or throw it somewhere.......I know this attitude no good.....Me too don dey work on it!
One night, my phone jes suddenly went off while I was working, I switched it on.......I continued my work, even though I've lost the work I was doing, so I had to start all over again......then,it went off again.......making me lose my work the second time.......Na hin I vex, smash am against the wall.........The rest is history!
The next day, I went to the UK used stores (where they sell UK used devices)......I am not that big boy you guyz think I am......I be street boy......Remember, an Ijebu man buh with Igbo sense..... .lolz. So, I bought a Techno Phantom 3 (An andriod phone).......Though, I dont like full touch screen phones......cuz, I need the key pads for my work,it makes me flexible and fast when typing.....I had no choice, this kinda phone is what I need for my work! So,I bought it!
Please note that Techno should no longer be seen as a 'chinko' phone.......Abegi,dem don pass that level! You need to use one of their phones to understand what I'm saying.
I bought a phone......The phone later became a baby that looked as if I abducted it.....which I must be feeding everyday! I don suffer! As in, confirm one!
I had 80MB left on my Etisalat SIM (the one I was using on my former phone).....I inserted it into my newly acquired phone and I switched the data feature ON......5MB comot immediately......Yeeeeeeehhhhhh......Oluwa oooooooo......Na 5MB I dey use daily for my Java phone before ooooo! That night, I used 40MB......."I don die", I thought! A week's MB on a Java phone is gone just in a night on Andriod?
I understand the fact that Andriod is different cuz of the Operating System......most especially, the background processes, automatic updates and the plenty applications one runs! Since this na the case, I decided to do a higher subscribtion after understanding Andriod principle......Na here my pains begin!
First of all, there was no specific data plan for Andriods (Like that of BlackBerry). The available mobile data plans are not friendly at all......What nonsense? My friends abroad enjoys data like they enjoy water.....One of them was in the country recently and he complained bitterly on the data plans he had to be subscribing to.
If to sey dem never stop BIS to be working on other phones ni.....e for good.......I got a tutorial one time that illustrates how BIS can work on my phone.....itz like a cheat......cuz,I need an app called DriodVPN to make it work......No! I dont want a cheat! I want something legitimate!
Diran Ogunlana (an old classmate of mine) told me Airtel's BIS still works.....I got an Airtel SIM......recharged it wif 1,500 to get 2GB data......Airtel chopped the credit......gave me the 2GB.......and it was useless......I couldn't use it.......I was mad at myself........Infact, I nearly ran mad that day.......N1,500 gone, no 2GB to use........Haaaaaaa.......Airtel did this to me? I will never forgive them. N1,500 no be small money na.......this period wey be sey money plenty for my hand, make I no talk another thing!
Valentine (a colleague) revealed to me the next day that I need to buy a 10MB data which will cost me N100 to activate the 2GB......I did it......then the SIM got damaged......Airtel has betrayed one of their customers and I will never say anything good about them!
And one funny thing about Andriod phone is that, it is very useless without internet......I don tire ooooo......I have done everything possible to minimize the way this phone chops data, buh all to no avail.......Which data control app I never download? E still no work.......Now, I have gba kamu.........I will have to be using 265MB weekly which will cost me N1000......You too calculate na......4K, monthly.......Haaaaaa......oti poju! How much is my monthly earning gan?
Now, I'm already thinking of getting a BB......buh, the problem here is: I have vowed that I will never stoop so low to use a BB! If BB is the only phone remaining in the world, I'd prefer to live without a phone. As in, I so much detested the phone before.......Buh, as things be now........E be like sey na BB go sure pass oooo.......Cuz I believe in one thing: If datz what will make my work efficient and will make me deliver on time, why not go for it? Still thinking about it, tho!
Buh, make we talk true, INTERNET TOO COST FOR 9JA......TOO MUCH!
I need you guyz to help me.....my online works are already becoming toooo much.....I prefer using my phone for my works but the money am paying for internet is getting too much......Please,anybody who can help my situation should please do! Are there no better data plans out dere?
And by the way, I'll be a year older 2moro.......And I have something special for you guyz - "MY BIRTHDAY SPECIAL - 7 THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT ME!".......Also expect a new haircut specially for my birthday!.......Anticipate! Catch ya,2moro!
