Following the recent technical fault with two submarine cables that have caused the MTN Internet to slow across a number of African nations. MTN Nigeria is now giving out 500MB, 200MB or 100MB free data as a means of compensating all customers after they resolved all issues with their internet service.

In a statement released by the telco, it said that the goodwill bonus will be sent to the data account of customers. Now, MTN has started fulfilling its promise by giving out free data to customers.

Some customers claimed to have received 500MB FREE Data as compensation, while others received 200MB free data. The reason for disbursing different free data bonuses to customers is best known to them.

MTN Nigeria is sending text messages for the customers to take note of their free data, here is the sample of that SMS: "Yello, our internet service has been restored. Thank you for your patience. Enjoy 100MB FREE as a token of our appreciation. Valid for 2 days. Dial *131*4# to check."

If you don't receive any SMS concern this free data, simply dial *131*4# to check your bonus data or check your bundle balances via the MyMTN app.

The bonus data valid for just 2 days.

This must go round to all customers. If you was not compensated yet, just be patient, I believe MTN will soon remember you too.

Ultimate Love, the new Nigeria reality show from MultiChoice, is fixed to hit DStv and GOtv screens on Sunday, February 9, 2020. The show will feature sixteen strangers, eight males and eight females placed in a secluded location known as the “Love Pad”, for the duration of 8 weeks with hopes that they will find life-long love.

The contestants will have to compete and carry out different tasks and win the votes of the public. The winning couple will not only have won each other’s hearts and the hearts of viewers but will also win an all-expense-paid traditional wedding ceremony and a fully furnished house – if they commit to getting married. If not, they still get to win a cash prize and other amazing prizes. One of the unique features of the show is the presence of “Aunty” who is very much like Big Brother.

Just like Big Brother, Aunty will also be a prominent feature on the show but unlike the former who is recognized by his voice only, Aunty will be physically present in the ‘Love Pad’. Her job will be to help the singles find their perfect partner and provide them with counsel where necessary.

Already, this pivotal character has left soon-to-be fans of the show guessing who would play the role of Aunty. Perhaps she will be revealed before the show or maybe not, but what is certain is that the ‘Ultimate Love’ reality TV show promises to deliver a good dose of excitement, twists, surprises and suspense when it makes its debut on Sunday, February 9th.

The ultimate love reality show will be aired on DSTV channel 198. The channel is available on the DSTV family bouquet. You can also watch it on GOTV channel 29 which is available on the GOTV Plus package.

Once activated, it can be used to call any networks in Nigeria

Tested and confirmed working before making the post, so make sure you pay full attention while activating yours, otherwise, it won't work for you.
  • Use your old SIM or buy a new MTN sim with any of this prefix: 081640***, 081641***, 081642***, 081643***, 090611***, 070630***, 080641***.
  • Above are the recommended numbers. Make sure you get one of the numbers above with the exact number prefix.
  • If you don't have an old sim with the number prefix, get the new sim and register it as you would do to a normal sim. 
  • You can recharge N100 airtime and make a normal call for a minute just to fully activate the new MTN sim.

  • You might get a response saying "Number doesn't exist". Don't panic. Just go back to your phone's settings and select another network operator except MTN.
  • Again, redial the number again. If you stop getting such responses and faced frequent hangups, then you have to keep redialing the number until it finally connects.
  • The frequent hangup is caused by network congestion on 999.
  • Make sure you don't select network operator again if you successfully activated this on your MTN sim.
It is simple as that, enjoy it while it lasts.

WhatsApp team has chosen to include support for a dark mode. At last, the company lets our eyes to take a break from the brilliant light in the dark. Also, for some owners of cell phones with AMOLED screens, this is decent assistance to improve battery life. 
To access the WhatsApp Beta, you will need to be part of the Google Play Beta. If you are already part of this program, then expect an update to version 2.20.13 on your device in the near future. In addition to the dark theme, you will also receive some bug fixes and improvements.
Since this is a beta version, most likely, not everything will work perfectly. WhatsApp beta testers already know they can expect bugs. If you have already updated the application and still do not have the option to enable the dark theme, you may have to reinstall the application in order to make it work or wait until the desired version arrives on your device.
If you can’t wait for the pleasant innovation, you can also download the application’s APK file. Well, the best option is to just wait until the stable version arrives. Unfortunately, it is not yet clear exactly when this will happen.

Apple Technology company is likely to declare iOS 14 in the second quarter of this 2020, during the annual Worldwide Developers Conference. It is important to know if you should expect it on your apple device or not depending on the generation of iPad or iPhones you are using.

As we all know, older iPhones often remain off the list of compatible devices with the latest version of the Cupertino operating system. According to reports from iPhone soft, iOS 14 may likely support all the devices that already compatible with iOS 13. Devices that were released in 2015 will receive the next iOS update.

Here’s the full list of the iPhones that will get iOS 14:
iPhone 12 (5G)
iPhone 12 Pro (5G)
iPhone 9 / iPhone SE 2
iPhone 11
iPhone 11 Pro
iPhone 11 Pro Max
iPhone XS Max
iPhone XS
iPhone XR
iPhone X
iPhone 8 Plus
iPhone 8
iPhone 7 Plus
iPhone 7
iPhone 6S
iPhone 6SPlus
iPhone SE

And for iPadOS 14, here are the iPads that will be receiving it
iPad Pro 2020 (5G)
12.9″ iPad Pro 2015, 2016 and 2017
iPad Pro 10.5″
iPad Pro 9.7″
11″ iPad Pro 2018
iPad Air 3
iPad 5
iPad 6
iPad 7
iPad Mini 5

iPod Touch 7 users released last year will also receive the next update. Any other information surrounding iOS14 and iPadOS 14 will be communicated before the release date.

NB: The list – which we have above – is not official, which is why things could change in a few months. The possible exclusion of the iPhone SE would be even more logical if its much-talked-about successor were really to arrive in March, as has long been rumored.

Windows 10 Now Allow All Uses to Make and Receive Calls on PC with Android or iOS Phones

$

The function of making and receiving calls from your PC was launched in December 2019 by Microsoft. This is really attainable through the installation of the “Your Phone” application. At the time, this feature was limited to Windows Insiders users only, but now, Microsoft has officially launched this feature for all Windows 10 users.

The Microsoft Your Phone app is available for all iOS and Android phones. However, the app’s performance is more prominent in high-end Android phones (such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 10). In addition, the phone gallery function in the app has also been optimized. Users can now use the touch screen on the PC to interact with the phone. At the same time, it also supports dual SIM cards, new message notifications, battery status, wallpaper PC visibility, stylus Support, and copy and paste features across devices. This feature saves users the stress of multitasking across devices and you can attend to your phone and PC from your PC.

The idea of Your Phone is to link the PC and phone closer together, allowing you to receive notifications from your smartphone on the desktop, for example, and benefit from the convenience of replying to texts with a keyboard.

Taking calls on your PC is another reason why you might never need to pick up your phone again (or at least not be reaching for it nearly as much, anyway).

Enabling the phone calls feature requires permissions on your PC (unsurprisingly).

Seamless implementation
As to what you can actually do with this functionality, it allows you to make or answer calls on your PC as you’d expect. For making phone calls, there’s an in-app dialer and the ability to initiate a call directly from your contacts list.

And when there’s an incoming call, you don’t have to answer it – it’s possible to send it to voicemail, or alternatively decline it with a predefined message. Your Phone also allows users to seamlessly transfer a call between phone and PC, and it keeps a log of recent calls.

In short, it’s a very handy addition, and it comes on top of a ton of work that Microsoft has been doing of late to the Your Phone app. That includes transforming your PC’s touchscreen into a giant digital art pad for your phone (allowing for support for pressure sensitivity). Plus there’s potentially a nifty content transfer feature in the pipeline, to allow for the easy shuttling of files between PC and smartphone.

Google on the Course of Making New Unified Communications App, Specially for all Business Needs

Google is reportedly making a new mobile unified communications app designed specifically for business users.

Based on the report we gathered from The Information. The Google Mobile app for businesses will combine several of the search giant's standalone applications and technologies. The Information spoke with two people that have used the application as well as three others who were briefed on the product.

The new communications app will combine the company's video conferencing app Hangouts Meet with its instant messaging app Hangouts Chat. The app will also include Gmail for communications over email as well as Google's cloud storage service Google Drive.

One app for all your business needs
Google's unified communications app for business is apparently going through internal testing at Google at the moment and people familiar with the matter said that Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian shared details regarding the app at a conference earlier this month with Google Cloud team members and business partners.

According to The Information's report, the mobile application will be part of Google's G Suite of productivity software. The app could also help the company better compete against established players in the unified communications market such as Microsoft and Slack.

Google G Suite for business already includes applications such as Gmail, Docs, Calendar, Meet, and Drive, so adding other ways for business users to communicate with one another does make a great deal of sense as it will help boost productivity as users will be able to do more from within a single app.

Google Launches a New DIY Video Platform Named “Tangi”

The search giant, Google has announced its own short video platform named Tangi. Unlike TikTok, Google’s new Tangi platform will basically focus on providing DIY videos for people.

YouTube and TikTok probably have a new competitor in the field.
YouTube has always been the Go-To platform for any form of the video tutorial you are searching for over the years while TikTok was the world's second-most downloaded app in 2019, but Google is about to change the narrative with this new app named Tangi.

The Tangi app has been developed by Google's in-house incubator, Area 120. "Itís an experimental social video sharing app with quick DIY videos that help people learn new things every day," is how Tangi founder, Coco Mao, describes the app. The app's name is inspired by the words TeAch aNd GIve and "tangible"— things you can make.

You can find tutorials on Art, Cooking, DIY, Fashion and Beauty, and Lifestyle categories. The technology category is not yet included in the app.

Where Can I download Tangi?
For now, Tangi is only available for iOS users and the web view through tangi.co, with the Android version soon to come. While its concept is very much similar to TikTok and newly launched Byte, the major difference is in the fact that the platform will render help to people in terms of providing them with short video clips.

We don’t understand why Google had to neglect its mobile platform for the iOS platform.

The app is still under experiment, and I’m sure that if the app doesn’t meet Google’s expectation, they’ll shut it down.

Please, tell us your view about this new google app named Tangi.

Value Added Tax: You’ll Now Pay 7.5% as Tax on Every Call Made, Data Purchased and SMS Sent

Wonders never cease. Nigerian Telecoms providers now bidding every subscriber to pay a tax of 7.5%. Either for sending SMS, purchasing data or making calls.

Last month, President Muhammadu Buhari signed the country’s finance bill into law, with a sweeping effect on Nigeria’s fiscal laws. The government believed that the new tax regime will not adversely affect Nigerians, but that seems not to be authentic.

Subscribers are already complaining bitterly on social media that the VAT shouldn’t apply to calls and data, but apparently, the telecoms vow to be dumb regarding it.

So we try to experiment how much VAT is charged on Calls, and this is what we got after placing a 6 seconds call across to a friend. For 6 seconds calls, I was charged N2. 67k and for 10sec call, I was charged N5.

Below is the pop-up message received by a subscriber, after making calls.


For SMS that was supposed to be N4, it is now N4.10 for every SMS you send.

Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) has notified Nigerians on the application of the new VAT rate on all purchased telecommunication products and services with effect from the 1st of February 2020.

Quote 
“Dear Customer,

In accordance with the Finance bill 2019 signed on 13th January 2020, the Value Added Tax (VAT) rate has been revised from 5% to 7.5% with effect from 00:00 Hrs 1st February 2020.

“As a result, the prices of our data plans, devices & accessories have been revised to reflect the revised 7.5% VAT rate from 00:00 Hrs 1st February 2020. Thanks for your usual co-operation”, a message from Spectranet, one of Nigeria’s internet provider, reads.

7.5% VAT isn’t for the rich or poor Nigerians, it is for everybody… Telecommunications, Electricity, Television, Food & Beverages, Petroleum companies will now collect VAT every time they bill you.

I hope you have been charged too for this 7.5% VAT rate or not?

How to Force Your Glo Data Connection ON
Well, we all know that without data on your Glo SIM, you won't be able to see 3G, H+ or 4G connection on your phone. This is because Glo has disabled data connection on SIMs without active data.

Don't worry, we have a simple trick to force Glo to show data network on your SIM. Here's the trick.

All you have to do is subscribe to the Glo Night plan of 1GB for N100 valid for 5 days on the Glo Cafe app. Simply download Glo Cafe app from play store here and sign in with your Glo number.

After that, click on Data Packs on the main page > Scroll down till you see Night 100 1GB, then subscribe. Your data connection will pop up immediately.

Sometimes after doing this, Glo will just leave your data connection on after the expiry date base on your luck.

Note that if you browse at night from 12AM, Glo will deduct from your Night bundle.
