This MTN Ghana data draining issue is what I was talking about last time. I’ve had my data on for almost 6 days, and I’ve used only 454MB. But if I were using MTN with the same activity, I would have used almost 9GB.

I am workinh on a similar project to expose them and finally sue them. I am getting there gradually.

I've had T Mobile sit on a few hundred megabytes for a week while MTN Ghana would have already claimed almost 10GB for the same quiet activity.

Chale this matter you wan talk so? I do 399 bundle wey I say make I use the bonus solid cos anyways anyhow ego expire. After it expired, 5 days later them say I’ve used 170gb of my bundle purchase. I take 2 weeks finish 217gb eyy MTN🤦💔

I’ve observe that when you buy the 399 bundle, the 100GB bonus doesn’t run as much. You can download, stream etc with an attempt of consuming as much as possible but the consumption somehow turns to be low. Once the nonsense 3 days elapse, your main data runs like crazy!

And your fellow Ghanaians won't allow you to complain so they can fix the system I think mtn has a different way of deducting data when you're on the 399 pack , ngl herh 🤦‍♂️

I bought the 399 packagage, i chcecked my usage and i realised i was using 10GB daily. I was shock. I hsmave switched to Telecel to test theirs too with their 400 cedis package. Our minister is in bed with MTN so we are on our own

Bro you go break your screen ooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is actually true, they’ve been stealing data !

This is my own in just 19 days (3 /4 days spent on bonuses) so I'll say 16/15 day and 68.37GB is gone @MTNGhana what is deducting my data

I realized this when i started using telecel for browsing and downloading , telecel doesn't deduct data like mtn that's what have noticed. Mtn will deduct your data like a running water.

My brother well said. Due to the nature of my work I used to travel to Lagos a lot. I only recharge 1000 naira mtn airtime. The instant data is 2.5gig. No subscription free airtime for local calls. And my 1000 naira for international calls. The one week that I stayed in Lagos, i still return to accra with 1gig.

Bro I purchased 198GB on the 19th August, today is 8th September and everything is gone with the wind. That's pure robbery!. I dont know if I should cry or what. @samgeorgegh please look into this. This same data used to last 3 to 4 months.

You're not the first, and I don't blame them but Sam George for collapsing the rest leaving MTN to monopolize the market. You can't spend 3mins on X with mtn data

@MTNGhana is treating us this way because @TelecelGhana and @theatghana are use!ess. MTN knows we have no alternative. Telecel network can’t even send a WhatsApp message.

The people who are supposed to ensure this works for everyone are the ones who receives free package of data and voice from them every month so they are quiet. The data dey run like borehole water on pump

Now I am even scared of buying the 399 bundle because the last time I did it finished within a month something that lasted for almost 4 months the first time I bought it. Hhmmm

@MTNGhana check the way you deduct our data, and @samgeorgegh you quick to defend mtn than ensuring a better service delivery for the ordinary Ghana

This thing is serious o. I had to call them recently to complain. Funny they have nothing serious to do. All they say is "check your background apps" which sometimes no app is actually running.

Lets all try this and see if it will work: 1. Turn on Data Saver / Low Data Mode (biggest single fix, 30 seconds) Android: Settings → Network & Internet → Data Saver → toggle ON iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data Options → toggle "Low Data Mode" ON This one setting throttles background data and autoplay system-wide immediately. 2. Kill WhatsApp auto-download (2 minutes) Open WhatsApp → Settings (or tap your profile pic) → Storage and Data → Media Auto-Download → under "Mobile data," uncheck Photos, Videos, and Audio. Leave Wi-Fi checked if you want. 3. Stop autoplay on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok (3 minutes) Facebook app: Menu → Settings & Privacy → Settings → Media → Autoplay → set to "Never Autoplay Videos" Instagram: Settings → Account → Cellular Data Use → toggle ON "Use Less Data" TikTok: Profile → Menu (☰) → Settings and Privacy → Data Saver → toggle ON 4. Force app updates to Wi-Fi only (1 minute) Play Store: Tap your profile icon → Settings → Network preferences → Auto-update apps → "Over Wi-Fi only" iPhone App Store: Settings → App Store → under Cellular Data, toggle OFF "App Updates" and "App Downloads" 5. Cap YouTube/streaming quality (1 minute) YouTube app: Profile icon → Settings → Video quality preferences → set Mobile network to "Data saver" or manually cap at 480p Netflix: Profile → App Settings → Video Playback → set to "Save Data" or "Low" 6. Check who's on your hotspot right now Settings → Hotspot & Tethering → see connected devices list. Kick off anything you don't recognize and change your hotspot password. Do all six and check your MTN balance tomorrow at the same time of day (*138#) — you should see a noticeably slower drain within 24 hours since autoplay + auto-download are usually the two biggest offenders.

This MTN matter must be treated as a national emergency

NGL, we tried an experiment between MTN and Telecel. We bought 1GB of data on both networks (same phones, same settings). We watched the same YouTube video at 1080p. 20 minutes in, MTN sent a notification that 50% of the 1GB had been used. We called and they were telling stories

MTN AND SAM GORGE JUST DEY SCAM GHANAIANS, WHEN ONE CALCULATES TJE AMOUNT OF DATA YOU BUY DURING THE MONTHS THEN YOU KNOW THAT IT COSTS MORE THAN BUYING FOOD STUFFS

@MTNGhana come explain yourself ….cos I face same thing on Sunday when 9Gig of my data vanished without doing anything on my phone

This is true though

That 399 erh . The bonus doesn’t move oo no matter how you download. But one it expires erh. Just toady they said I’ve used 10gb

Chaarlie true la, my 10gb finished in 26hours, what did odd? I was on x, TikTok and IG. No download or upload, just scrolling k3k3

The minister will tell you to check your phone settings, and refer you to ask a comedian 😉 Peace!

@MTNGhana, why are our internet bundles draining so fast

@MTNGhana they stole my 4GB data last weekend, called them and they told me they will update their system so l should call them in 2 hours later, after that, they told me they can't do anything about it

I bought 399 bundle in July, right now it left only 4.7GB 💔

@MTNGhana We know you drain our data intentionally. Respect yourselves @MTNGhana . I blame our leaders as well, even the average youth who spend on data crazily. @MTNGhana knows you need data. @MTNGhana drains it willingly.

Sam George was in opposition saying was incompetent and other things... Now see him now shishi he can't do

Ghanaian leaders and joining forces with foreign companies to exploit their citizens na 5&6..
