With the advent of the internet and smartphones comes the need to have data, but the question is; how can one enjoy affordable Internet data plans with good data volume value?

There are four major mobile network providers in Nigeria: MTN Nigeria, Globacom Telecommunications, Airtel, and 9mobile (formerly Etisalat). These four network providers have different data plan options for Internet users and with the need to constantly be online and access multiple files of different sizes,it is imperative that you subscribe to a network that gives your a large amount of data for little money unless you want to proof you are a direct descendant of Jeff Bezos . so here are the different plans from these major networks:


1) MTN DATA PLANS :

AIRTEL BUNDLE PLANS:

HERE ARE THE BEST AIRTEL DATA PLANS IN NIGERIA 2019

Or simply Dial *141# and select Binge Plans

2. FREE SURF

The Free Surf Plan gives you reduced browsing rate on a Pay as you Go level. This plan can also offer you up to 160 MB for FREE when you use up to 160MB. The charges rate on this plan starts from 1Kobo/Kilobyte.

To subscribe to the FREE SURF plan, dial *400#

3. AIRTEL DAILY DATA PLANS

The daily plans include the 20MB for NGN 50 (*141*50#), 75MB for NGN 100(*141*100#), 200MB for 200 Naira (*141*200#), 300MB for 300 Naira (*141*300#), 750MB for 500Naira (*141*500#).

20 MB for NGN 50 Plan

This 20 MB daily plan has a validity period of 24 hours. The subscription code is *141*50#.

There is a way Airtel compensates first-time subscribers. You will find out in the Airtel triple surf offer section of this post.

75MB for NGN 100 Plan

This plan has a validity period of 24 Hours. It is ideal for people that are not heavy users or probably you just want some data for less.

5-STAR Pack for NGN 100

The 5-Star Pack offers very little data with a longer validity period. This plan gives you 5MB every day for 5 days. It is definitely NOT suitable for smartphone users; those devices consume a lot of data. Java or Symbian phones users can still find this useful.

Haven seen all these, which would you say is the best considering how much of a data user your are and how economical it could be to you?

I think it's not just about whether or not the data in question is considerably cheap, I think the main reasoning here should be how strong the network is, 100gb is useless if it will be browsing like one snail so it's not just about price but how connected and reliable the network services are.

I'm an heavy user and subscribe to the binge plan twice a day. That's 500 for 2gb X 2 giving me 4GB for 1k

These data plans dey expensive abeg

Melaninprincess:
These data plans dey expensive abeg

that binge Plan still makes more sense too me sha. The one from Airtel, them de try wella

Me I can't touch anything Glo, Etisalat is expensive. Put my MTN sim in my secondary phone when I tried Airtel for the first time and I've not looked back since. If I have to download heavy stuffs I just do the daily binge plan

Ennyholar:


I'm an heavy user and subscribe to the binge plan twice a day. 1000 for 4G.

Wait twice a day? You can do it as many times as you want in a day?

Ejadike:

It makes sense but If only Airtel could increase the validity period to like 2days or more.

shiftback:

Wait twice a day? You can do it as many times as you want in a day?

Yes
You can do it as much as possible.

Ennyholar:

4GB you mean? makes sense sha, you must be a very heavy user cos at that rate you'll be using at least 120GB monthly

Netflix and Airtel Binge plan goes hand in hand. I can watch at least 3 movies on Netflix anytime I want with just 320 naira

Mtn 5gb -N3500
Airtel 5gb - N2500
Mtn are is an unrepentant thief barawo bansa shage

AmadorSays:

Exactly.

abi o, no doubt airtel is way cheaper than mtn especially with this binge plan of theirs. Seems I've got a new data subscription plan

Ennyholar:


Exactly.

no be small thing, I just dey dull myself all these while. See people flexing this binge like no tomorrow

Ennyholar:


Yes
You can do it as much as possible.

Can confirm, just did it twice today. It's funny why I didn't try this all this while. Thanks man

abi o, e dry happen. That's why we learn everyday

Looking through only Airtel has a plan for heavy downloaders. That binge plan is worth getting an airtel sim for

so many data plans to choose from, i have been reading through the comments and i am beggining to wonder why i am just knowing about this binge plan now , its the real deal o

Greatzeus:
Mtn 5gb -N3500
Airtel 5gb - N2500
Mtn are is an unrepentant thief barawo bansa shage

5gb for N2500 is still on the high side now, with what i am seeing on this binge plan you can get 4gb for as low as 1k 0

okay so i have seen the different plans but please op which of this network providers have the strongest network?

i will just have to look for a good airtel plan here cos mtn can be very expensive and glo network in my area is very very bad. that binge plan looks tempting if not for the fact that its just for one day.

Am hungry

MTN are thieves

Mtn still tops.

Am surprised to see this on Fp
