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.
