All major mobile phone service networks are available in Ibokun but with varying degree of reliability and usability. Often times, it is customary to experience network outage for all or some of the mobile phone service providers. Such situation is particularly common in some remote areas of the city. And it is also common for different networks to be more stable and reliable in different locations of the city at different times.
It is preferable if you are planning a visit to this city to have multiple SIM cards that cut across all the mobile service providers as you can't tell which will be more stable and reliable at a time in your location during your visit. And if you will risk not having any of them, you might be better off not risking the MTN network, because,from indications, its seems to perform well than the others, though its rates may be high and its offers and services might be stringent, but you might be more assured of seamless voice and data connection. While 4G network might not be widespread in city, you could be assured of a fairly stable 2G and 3Gs broadband cellular networks.
Glo (Globacom) boasts of fast network speed for internet browsing activities, but that might only be enjoyable in limited locations. Airtel is fairly satisfactory for all you might need to connect to the world, including rates and network stability. As for 9mobile, they also perform well in internet browsing speed but not without locational limitations.
