Just a few days ago, Airtel Nigeria charged N5 customers every 20 seconds of a transaction in the USSD. But is now broken.
Significant Airtel customers can now make free transactions through the USSD Bank without fear of charging the N5 every 20 seconds.
It was learnt that Airtel had on Wednesday billed a customer (name withheld) N15 for carrying out a transaction using the Wema Bank *945#.
Contacted, an Airtel customer care agent, said in a message that the organization charges N5 for every 20 second spent using USSD.
