MTN Lines Barred, Sparking Subscriber Outrage
MTN has announced a barring of lines for some subscribers today, reportedly affecting those who have not updated their National Identity Number (NIN) as mandated by regulatory standards.
The telecommunications giant has advised impacted customers to visit service centers or use the online platform to update their details and restore service.
The move is part of MTN’s effort to comply with regulatory guidelines aimed at maintaining accurate customer records and enhancing security.
However, one long-time subscriber has expressed significant frustration after their line was barred without prior notice.
The customer, who has used their MTN line for over a decade and linked it to their NIN multiple times, feels this sudden action undermines their expectation of respect and dignity from the service provider.
MTN has not yet specifically addressed this case but reiterates its commitment to regulatory compliance and encourages affected users to update their information to restore their services.
Skype, once a go-to platform for video and voice calls, is officially shutting down today, May 5, marking the end of its 22-year journey connecting people around the globe. The app was one of the first to revolutionize online communication, offering free calls over the internet long before it became common.
During its prime in the mid-2010s, Skype boasted over 300 million active users each month. Microsoft bought Skype in 2011 for a massive $8.5 billion, planning to make it a key part of its communication tools. However, as newer apps like WhatsApp, Zoom, and even Microsoft’s own Teams grew in popularity, Skype slowly lost its place.
In February, Microsoft announced it would officially shut down Skype on May 5 to focus more on Teams, which now handles most of its communication services. This move affects both free and paid users, although Skype for Business will stick around for a little longer.
