  1. How does this work please?Is it through one’s mobile phone or a gadget that will be placed in the home?What if this is used as an alternate source of power???Would one still need to pay as much???Is it transferable??Expecting your reply.Thanks.

  2. Will the payment continue as long as the life of the gadget? Is there not a final installment around the payment plan?

  3. pls Nigerian, this product is not efficient at all, its suitable only for student who needs just bulb and table fan, it doesnt power a normal family TV, you will have to get a small 17 inches tv and render your family tv useless, also the battery is very poor, its only works well with the 2 led bulbs that come with ut, its cant even power a laptop cos most laptops comes with 65watts and it can only power 60watts at a go , so how does it works for you, i got it and discovered it was a waste.

  4. Thanks, Tunji, for sharing your experience. I watched the video ad, which depicts that the device could power the sitting room.

    Looking closely, I noticed it can’t support the slightest heavy load. That’s when I suspected a foul play.

    Also, since it’s coming from MTN, hmmm…

  5. @ Tunji, thanks for sharing your experience. I am currently doing some research to help me decide whether or not to get it.
    24/7 electricity for “anyone who wants to power basic appliances, TV, Fans, Lightbulb, Laptop, and Decoders” just seems too good to be true, especially coming from MTN.
    What I need to power mainly is my laptop, so if I can’t even get that, then it’s a no-go.
    I’ll just go for a generator and a good power bank.

  6. tell me more about your experience because I want to get one too but since I read your experience I was discourage so no need for that because I want to get to power my laptop, TV ,fan and phone
