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

this. I'm afraid I
don't have enough information to help, myself.

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

Did you see the Wikipedia Zero banner or anything
of that sort,
indicating you're browsing for free in your browser?
