Seems I didn't see this earlier.
I use Firefox and Chromium, those were the browsers I used to even before the launch.
Any updates?

Hi Enock,
Thanks for confirming what you have experienced. One more question: which browser did you use? Note that some proxi browsers like Opera sometimes don't zero-rated Wikipedia. In case you have used Opera, please try
another
browser like Chrome, Safari, etc.
GH Wikimedians: As Enock noted, your help on testing the service will be appreciated. If you can, please test Wikipedia Zero on m.wikipedia.org
and
let us know if you see the "Free Wikipedia" banner and/or you are being charged.
Thanks again, Adele

Thanks, Asaf for sending this thread directly to us.
Hi Enock,
Thank you for flagging the issues described below. For future reference, feel free to add me directly when you need my attention and/or reply. As far as I understand, you - Enock - used WP through MTN and was charged. On top of that, no free WP banners were displayed both on the desktop version and mobile version. Is that correct? If that is the case, we
will
have to investigate with MTN. Please note that we don't show "Free Wikipedia" banners on the desktop version as part of the Wikipedia Zero program. Only the mobile site displays banners so it's expected that you won't see the WP Zero banner when using WP's desktop version. Please confirm if you were using m.wikipedia.org (mobile site) when the banners flashed and didn't display correctly. That is not an expected behavior and if confirmed, we will follow up internally and also with MTN.
Dan Foy, our technical partner manager, is on vacation this week. We
will
have to wait for him to come back to the office next week to properly follow up on this.
Enock - I will be awaiting for your reply on the questions above. It
will
be really helpful to better understand your experience.
Rexford and others - If you would like to volunteer to test the service, please make sure you are using the mobile version of Wikipedia ( m.wikipedia.org). Please pay special attention to the banner behavior
and
data charges.
Best, Adele

Thus, I understand you as, when (kindly confirm if below conditions are so)
- you opened the Desktop Version on the PC, no banner was shown
- you opened the Mobile Version on PC, the banner 'flashed'.
Nothing banner-ish showed afterwards
- you opened the Mobile Version on Mobile, no banner was shown
Its good you've brought this up. I'm sure Adele is on this list, plus if that's the case, then we'll kindly ask Adele to look into that for
us.
thanks
