    My congratulations to Emeka Oparah on his new post within the Airtel family.
    I hope one can still complain to him about services on the Airtel network in Nigeria.
    I have complained to Airtel through emails that I don’t want to be receiving End of Call Notifications (EOCN) after I make a call or send an SMS text. Airtel replies me that it has de-activated my number but nothing is done. I write again to say that the EOCN is still coming and again I receive a reply that says EOCN has been deactivated.
    When this does not happen, I called at an Airtel Outlet to make the request. The good lady that attended to me asked to make a call with my phone and after the call, the EOCN was received again. She then asked me to give them 24 hours and following her mail to some people at the head office, she told me the matter will be resolved within 24 hours. And that should have been by 25 January 2022.
    Following the non resolution of my matter, I mailed Airtel again on 29 January 2022 drawing their attention to my 2 earlier mails, their replies and the SMS text after my visit to one of their outlets and as usual I got a reply that my problem has been resolved.
    It is now 9 days after this reply, I am still receiving EOCN after I make a call.
    If Airtel is telling me to port, perhaps I should consider it. After all, my number begins with 0803.
