Though MTN offers subscribers free airtime between 12:30am and 4:30am, it is common knowledge that it’s rather difficult, if not outright impossible, to get a call through.
This is obviously because people seek to take advantage of the free airtime, in the process of which they simply jam the air.
On several occasions, I tried to make calls for which I was ready to pay, but the calls simply won’t go.
Last weekend at the Redemption Camp, where we had gone for the monthly Holy Ghost programme, it was practically impossible to contact fellow MTN subscribers, courtesy of the free airtime!
If MTN cannot carry the call load that comes with free airtime, perhaps it could find a better way of compensating its teeming subscribers.
For now, I’ve resorted to using another line, just to get round the nightmare.
Midnight may not be the best time for free call, after all.
MTN and other networks should therefore reconsider.
