WAS THE PHONE-OFF DAY DEMONSTRATION WORTH IT?

Share

Let's be honest here,how many people put off their phones on May 27?Well,I didn't and I know you also didn't because we didn't see the point behind the protest. After all,the estimated USD 6million that was anticipated to be lost by the telecommunication companies is peanuts to them.And who said the lost that much after the protest?

In an attempt to present the grievances and complaints of consumers to the telecommunication networks in the country,a 6-hour phone of day was organised.Everyone was supposed to put off his phone last Thursday from 6 a.m to 12 p.m.

On the said date,the protestors mostly made of students stormed the streets of Accra with placards like"MTN, Tigo, Kasapa, Vodafone and Zain, the value is the same" and "azaa text promotions".

It was even amazing that some of the protestants themselves didn't even put off their phones.Afterall,it's their phones that they use as primary means of communication.

In my opinion,the "Ghana Off Phone Day" was a step in the right direction,just that it was quite an unrealistic approach because people wouldn't want put off their phones.

We use our hard-earned money to purchase credit and also use some for their fake promotions therefore the  telecommunication companies(MTN,Tigo,Vodafone,Kasapa and Zain) are mandated to provide excellent services.

What do you think?Are the telecommunication industries living up to expectation?
