Which family suits you
- A day or two of data: a daily or Binge plan, accepting a higher cost per GB.
- Regular use through the week: weekly plans. The 20GB plan at ₦5,000 is ₦250 per GB; the 1GB plan at ₦800 is ₦800 per GB.
- A phone you use every day: monthly plans. Cost per GB falls as the plan grows: 4GB is ₦625 per GB, 25GB is ₦320 and 100GB is ₦200.
- Daily pacing: Everyday-ON stops you using a month’s data in a week, but a plan you do not finish is wasted either way.
Social plans work on the listed social apps only, so we leave them out of cost-per-GB comparisons.
How to buy
Airtel’s page says to dial *312# to get started. Its website lists each plan with a Buy Now button and does not show a text code per plan, so we do not list one.
Filter by budget, data and validity with the plan finder, browse by validity (weekly, monthly) or compare plans side by side. Prices change, so confirm with Airtel before you pay. Read how we compare plans in how to compare mobile data plans.
