I use get2sms.com. It’s better than wadja and 1ville and the best part of it is that it’s Nigerian.

Try this website for free sms. Register on get2sms.com and use m.get2sms.com for sending free sms to any gsm in nigeria, I’ve not tried sendind to CDMAs. I’m able to send 5 free sms per day through this site although the site claims to offer 30 a day.

Yes oh. I should have done that. May be next time. I am getting frustrated with Zain enough to try out “7 Reasons Why I Don’t Gbadun Zain”.

Many rave reviews out there for Etisalat.

Its draw backs are quite a few but worth mentioning;

(i) If you travel a lot and by road, ditch Etisalat. Its road coverage is poor

(ii) If you are a speed junkie on the net, ditch Etisalat. i must say though, the connection is almost rock solid but ‘slow’. if you enjoy minimal interaction with the net (plain old surfing and emailing) Etisalat is it. Other networks are notoriously unstable, but on their best behavior youtubers, streamers and uploaders will enjoy the speed.

(iii) Connections in many state capitals are really really slow. My experience in Jalingo, Yola, Markurdi and Jos wasn’t as good as Abuja. And oh…not all parts of these cities are covered.

(iii) Because the number of customers are less than other networks, you are less likely to benefit much from competitive on-net calls. You are likely not to have many of your buddies on Etisalat network.

(iv) Etisalat has been dethroned as the King of ON NET calls. Glo rules that category for now.

(v) Someone did mention that their data cost are not competitive.

(vii) Because of the time and resources needed to develop a robust network (aka fiber network, microwave links, capacity etc) they have a hard time catching up and are very likely more vulnerable to to network down time arising from network congestion and lack of redundancies. You know the ‘hell’ Nigerian subscribers went through in the early years of GSM.

I wish Etisalat well and hope their subscribers enjoy the service for as long as they are on the network.

PS. I gave out my Etisalat sim two months ago.

@EyeBeeKay: My problem with those online SMS service providers is that they don’t offer Java applications from which you can access your account and send text messages without needing a computer each time, you want to send an SMS which by the way, I do a lot

@Alireta: I guess I beat you guys to it lol

@arumob: That’s d very reason why i said quote Coverage is still a bit shaky even in covered cities so I wouldn’t suggest you make Etisalat your primary telephone number.

Besides it appears you are one of the few and rare folks who seem to ENJOYING MTN’s internet service.

To get the best of ‘all’ worlds, combine networks intelligently (for calls/sms/data) so that you spend the least and still get the service. Choose the most cost-effective network for your data requirements, and the cheapest for your calls.

For sms, there are several websites allowing smses to be sent for free (or close to free – e.g, N2.75k). If you have a data plan, take advantage of these sites and save yourself a bundle on ongoing bases…
