If you’re looking for the top 10-20 MTN data plans as well as how to subscribe to them, you can rest assured that this post is bound to serve you well enough.


40GB Monthly Data Plan

This, of course, is one of MTN’s premium data plans best suited for people willing to carry out heavy Internet tasks for considerable lengths of time. For instance, you might have a wireless router you’d like to set up as the base for channeling Internet access to your other household devices such as desktops, laptops and phones.

While this data plan avails you prolonged Internet access to multiple devices, it comes at a price of #10,000 and is valid for 30 days. If you’re constantly browsing via high connections such as 3.5G and 4G networks, you may subscribe to a data plan like this in order to enjoy a seamless experience in the course of heavy usages.

Notably, this amazing data plan caps your data usage at 40GB and you can subscribe to it by sending a text message with 117 to 131.


15GB Monthly Data Plan

Previously capped at 11GB, this exciting data plan offers MTN subscribers a data bundle around the tune of 15GB for enjoying unrestricted Internet access over a 30-day period.

If you’ve always preferred browsing over high connections such as WCDMA and LTE, probably for the download of heavy files, you may consider subscribing to this data plan which charges you only #5000.

It may be recalled that this plan, at its initial stage, was once capped at 5GB which might not be enough for heavy Internet users to achieve reasonable tasks for a 30-day long period. But as MTN now makes it a whopping data amount of 15GB, subscribers are pretty sure they can sustain their heavy usages for a prolonged period.

To subscribe to this data plan, send a text message with 116 to 131.

A data plan of this sort can also come to your mind if you wish to only stream your favourite movies within a specific period.

While this plan comes with a 24-hour validity period, it avails you the chance to browse unrestrictedly with your data usage capped at 1GB. To subscribe to this data plan, you only need the airtime worth of #350 coupled with a text message for sending 155 to 131.

MTN DATA PLAN FAQ


What is the Cheapest MTN Data Plan?

If you are comparing MTN Data plans in pricing and data offers in Nigeria it will not be absolutely wrong to say that MTN data plans and bundles are relatively cheaper. Another thing to consider when you set out to find the cheapest data plan Is your own requirements, what do you plan to use the data for and what is your budget.

If you can answer these two questions correctly it will be easy to pick the cheapest data plans from the list above may be from the monthly column or the unlimited data plans from MTN.

If you don’t really want to go for something that massive and you just need to do little works on the internet perchance then you can consider  1.5GBB for 1200 naira. There is a special offer going still on from MTN where you can get 2GB data for ₦1200 only. If that fits into what you want then you can go for it by dialing activation code 131130#, valid for 30 days.

How to Subscribe for MTN 1000 Naira?

If you look at the above data plan table, you will see that there are two 1000 Naira data plans from MTN, the first one gives you 1GB  plus a 500MB Bonus valid for one month for only N1,000.

More like it is the other one, it is a little bit more of 1000 Naira, it is actually 1200 naira for 1.5GB monthly. If that fits in well to what you need you can activate the plan by sending an SMS 130 to 131.

How do I subscribe for MTN Data Plans?

If you are new to the MTN platform, or you are a user that mostly uses VTU to recharge and due to that you have lost touch with all the MTN codes, well, that is understandable.

If you want to subscribe to any MTN data plans all you need to do is look at the above tables, check them as thorough as possible and decide on a plan, once you have picked an ideal MTN data plan for you from the table, then you can look to the far right to see the activation or subscription code.

All you need to do now is open up your phone and dial the code, you can as well activate MTN data plans through sending SMS of the particular bundle or plan to the designated MTN data USSD Code.

How can I double my Data From MTN?

Yes! It is technically possible to double your MTN data. There is a unique offer from MTN called MTN Double Data where are given 2X of your original data.

Let’s assume that I activated the 2GB MTN Monthly data plan, I will receive 2 X 2GB which makes it 4GB that I will be given on my Monthly data plan. Don’t you think that is interesting?

However, there is a disclaimer with this data offer, MTN has only made the offer available to a few customers who constantly uses the network and recharge their lines from time to time.

Does MTN Have Unlimited Data Plans?

It is technically Wrong to say MTN has unlimited data plans and bundles. I am yet to see one. Although the team at Telcoinsider published an Unlimited Data Plan from MTN. But the data plan is only valid for 24hrs and allow users to enjoy data for a full day at a cheap rate of N150.

That is far from what Unlimited Data Plans are, most people searching on the pages of the internet for MTN Unlimited data plans are individuals are businesses who perform lots of activities from day-to-day and are therefore looking for a cost-effective plan that can carry them all through the month.

Another thing to note is, Unlimited Data plans are Uncapped, the plans from MTN comes in Monthly, bi-monthly which is the 60 data plan and tri-monthly which is the quarterly plan are all capped which means even before the time frame you can exhaust the volume of the data bundle given if you do more or have more users. F

So in a Nutshell, MTN does not have an Unlimited Data Plan. However, as i said earlier they have Massive data plans like the 2 months and the 3 months data plans

  • 2 Month Plans gives you 60GB of data for N20,000, valid for 60 Days. To activate Send SMS “118” to 131
  • 3 Month Plans gives you 120GB. N50,000. valid for 90 Days. To activate Send SMS “133” to 131
