Which plan gives the most data for your money?
Dividing price by data gives a fair comparison. Using the listed prices, the best deals are:
| Plan | Approx. price per GB |
|---|---|
| 15GB weekly (₦4,000, prepaid only) | ₦267 |
| 36GB monthly (₦11,000) | ₦306 |
| 3.2GB for 2 days (₦1,000) | ₦313 |
| 11GB weekly (₦3,500) | ₦318 |
| 2GB + 2 mins monthly (₦1,500) | ₦750 |
| 75MB daily (₦75) | ₦1,000 |
The pattern is simple: small plans cost far more per GB. A ₦75 bundle is handy in an emergency, but if you buy it every day you pay about three times as much per GB as someone on the 11GB weekly plan.
Before you buy
- Prices change, so confirm in the plan menu by dialling *312*1# or *904#.
- If you hold several bundles, the one that expires soonest is used first.
- Pick Auto-renew or One-off when asked. Auto-renew charges your airtime again when the plan expires.
