MTN Monthly Data Plans Explained
MTN 1.5 GB Data Plan
This data plan is the most affordable of all the data plans on our list. It costs just N1,000 and presents you with 1.5GB of data + 2GB for YouTube, to browse for 30 days. Of course, you are likely to exhaust this data in a few days. This is why we suggest that you should rather pick a 2 GB weekly data plan that comes at the same price.
If you still prefer to subscribe to this data plan, you should use it for your mobile phone alone. You should also make use of a browser that saves data like Opera Mini. To subscribe to this data plan, send 106 to 312 as an SMS. Also, ensure that you switch off all automatic updates on your device to conserve your data.
MTN 3 GB Data Plan
This is another data plan that falls under the small monthly data plan category. For N1,500, you get 3GB of data + 4GB for YouTube to browse for 30 days. While this is great, you can get 6 GB for the same amount under the weekly data plans. If you have the funds, why not go for the weekly plan so that you can get more data for the same amount?
This data plan is for individuals that don’t consume so much data. You can activate this plan by texting 131 to 312. We suggest that you take the measures that we prescribed above to conserve your data.
MTN 20 GB Data Plan
If you are looking for large data for personal use, you should consider subscribing to the 20 GB data plan. This plan is perfect for individuals that do a lot of work on the Internet such as freelancers, digital marketers, drop shippers, etc. You can purchase this plan for just N5,000.
One of the perks of the 20 GB plan is that you also receive 4 GB of free YouTube streaming data. You can only use this data between 11 pm and 6 am every day until you exhaust it. Before you migrate to this plan, you should first load your line with N5,000. After doing this, text 116 to 312, and the plan will be activated.
You can also take advantage of the special MTN double data offer. Dial *121# to check special data offers for you. Select 1 to see the “Top deal for you” and if you see the 20 GB offer, you will get an extra 20 GB upon activation. That’s a whole 40 GB of data for 30 days.
