Dear Ity Blog Author,
Your post about Airtel Port Data is clearly a misinformation and, please, be deleted to stop further misleading of ardent readers and followers of your blog. I say this bcoz l am a victim of the said false post. I ported my Mtn line to Airtel network, strictly followed your instructions but, unfortunately, received no data from Airtel. I equally called Airtel customer line to find out what went wrong but was told they had no such offer and should disregard any information as such. Now the question is: how did u come up with such information without verifying its authenticity before posting?
All of our tips are tested and working at the time of publishing.
I would admit that some of the tips takes advantage of certain system vulnerabilities on the network providers side or outright official time limited bonus offer, therefore, when the bug is plugged, the tweak stops.
To solve problems like this, all future tips will be updated as per when the tweak or offer stops working.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
