MTN Data Plans, Prices & Subscription Codes

MTN is the largest mobile network in Nigeria, customer share-wise and its data plans are some of the industry’s most reliable considering the fact they offer value for money.

In Nigeria, the yearnings and demand for internet data keep increasing on a daily basis, particularly since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic which saw the world grounded to halt and forced companies to encourage their staff to work from home in order to remain productive while avoiding the virus.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, data use in Nigeria had been up as more and more businesses require internet connectivity to make their businesses run efficiently. With this, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) had severally waded into ISPs’ data pricing and forced them into reducing it so that more Nigerians can actually get to comfortably use the internet.

In Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria, the top three major ISPs, namely MTN, Globacom and Airtel have been rolling out reviewed data plans and pricing in order to win more customers and prevent mass churn.

At some point, some of these network providers rolled out ‘unlimited data plans’ which was indeed capped in order to win customers. It worked but it wasn’t long until it was reviewed and capped ‘properly’.

With this, Nigerians have been and keep looking for cheap data plans that can allow their stay informed and run their businesses at the same time. For entertainment lovers who either want to stream movies or songs or just download them, the quest to get cheap data plans for their heavy usage continues to be a quest.

Are There Unlimited Data Plans in Nigeria?

No telco or ISP can offer unlimited data plans in Nigeria because the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), which is the regulatory body for all telecommunication companies in Nigeria will not allow it. The reason for this is because the NCC aims to provide fairness and an equal level playing field. It understands that some ISPs can actually offer unlimited data plans while some do not have the financial capacity to. Allowing it would mean some ISPs will be out of business quickly as ISPs offering unlimited data plans would win over the customers of those without the muscle to pull it off.

Although some Nigerian internet service providers claim they provide unlimited data plans. This is false in its entirety. What they do is to provide a sizeable amount of bandwidth users might not be able to finish within a particular period. When the threshold is reached, the internet speed throttles, that is, becomes slower regardless of the network type (3G, 4G or 5G). Bottom line is, every data plan in Nigeria is capped.
