GSM subscribers to pay more for data from Dec.1

 

  This  post definately answers the question about the text messages in circulation on increase of data and other tariffs as from December 1st 2016.

  
   Top management workers across the different network providers confirmed the story saying that the directive was from the Nigerian Communications Commission.The NCC issued the directive late last week on the orders of the Federal Government.

    It was gathered that the Federal Government took the decision having discovered that data rates are very low-priced in Nigeria, compared to other countries, including nearby African countries.
      
    “The government might have also taken the decision given that Nigerian subscribers have been kicking against the proposed nine per cent Communication Tax, whose bill is currently in the National Assembly.”

  “What this means is that MTN, Airtel, Etisalat And Globacom will increase their data rates as from December 1, 2016. A data plan of N1,000 for 1.5 Gigabytes will now be increased to N3,000 at N1,000 per 500 Megabytes.”
