- Best Data Plans in Nigeria
1.5GB Internet Data Plans
This is our most preferred deal for cheap internet browsing in Nigeria on GSM/WCDMA networks. The 1.5GB data plans offer 30-day 24/7 internet access limited to 1.5GB data for N3,000. Currently two networks offer the 1.5GB data plan, they are Glo and Airtel. It strikes the right balance between price, convenience, and data usage limit.
MTN offers 1.5GB for 3,500 Naira.
If you need more than 500MB data access in a month, Airtel, MTN or Glo 1.5 GB internet browsing package is your best choice. Note however, that depending on your browsing needs, the 1.5GB may be too much for you especially if you browse with your mobile phone.
If your monthly internet browsing need is less than 400MB, the 1.5GB data plan is not the best for you. You should consider Glo Always Micro, MTN 750MB, Swift Liberty Plus, or MTN 375MB.
Visafone 1.5GB Internet Browsing Plan
The Visafone 1.5GB data plan is one of the best priced internet bundle money can buy at N3,000. It offers 24 hours browsing and puts Visafone in a good position. However, the Visafone 1.5GB browsing bundle is only available on EVDO (3G) coverage area. In addition, it is a mobile bundle, so it is not clear whether it can be used with a modem. However, if experience with GSM operators is anything to go by, it will work with internet modems. So, if you need more than 750MB within 30 days, this data bundle may meet your browsing needs.260MB Internet Browsing Data Plans
MTN, Airtel and Glo offer 260MB internet browsing data plans priced at N1,000. The 260MB data plan from Glo, Airtel, and MTN are great deals for browsing directly on your mobile phone. If you need less than 260MB in a 30-day period these browsing deals are very compelling.
They are great for entry level users, definitely better than going to a cyber cafe. The260MB internet browsing bundles from Airtel, Glo and Etisalat are our best pick for entry level data plan if you want 24/7 internet access on your mobile phone.
The 260MB Internet browsing data plans are not for users who do lots of downloads and uploads. Remember that once you use up your 260MB internet browsing allocation, even if it is just 2 hours after you activated, your internet access will be deactivated. Hence the 260MB internet browsing data plans is for users with limited internet needs.
MTN also offers a compelling 375 MB internet browsing data plan priced at N1,300. Here are more
Cheap Night Data Plans
Swift Night browsing is active from 6pm to 8am with a data limit of 5GB. At a price of N3,500 it is very compelling night data plan.
MTN used to offer the cheapest Night internet browsing package in Nigeria, but now Airtel has joined them. The cheap internet browsing bundles from MTN and Airtel offers internet access at night daily for 30 days limited to a data usage of 3GB at a price of N2,500. The advantage of the MTN night internet and the Airtel internet browsing plans is their affordability and the high data usage limit. However, because you can use it only at night, it may not be okay for a number of people. You will have to wait until 9pm before you can start browsing, which will not be convenient for some of people.
That is the end of our review; we hope you found it useful.
