Nowadays, it is getting difficult to access the internet cheaply especially for Android and iOS users. But the freedom to these is dependent on the subscription plan you are currently engaged. For Android users, it is a game of how much data you can manage. Android is powered by system apps and some third party apps either from Play store or numerous sources and most of these apps have data hungry background activities. It would be a bet to see someone’s data plan from being active up to 30days.

Efforts by our local network providers, MTN, Airtel, GLO…, sometimes are not fully utilized by their customers. A normal data subcription lets say 2GB of data for 30 days might not take someone’s heavy usage and this will not cost nothing less than N2000. But there are few data plans that can keep you on the internet for a considerable numbers of days. Though, these plans are somewhat boring in the sense that they only give you access to a predefined activity.

WhatsApp bundle from MTN allows you to enjoy everything in WhatsApp. It is a 25MB of data but it could take you for a whole 30days. It only allows you to use WhatsApp and nothing more.

To activate MTN WhatsApp bundle, send a text in this format “WAM” to 131 without the quotes. It cost N60 for 30days.

Here, a registered customer can share a concluded data size to you as low as N1000 for a month validity. Depending on the person that shares data, the commonest ranges are :

N1000 for 1GB
N2100 for 2GB
N3000 for 3GB

Most times, they require you to send recharge cards in order to benefit. That is, if you wanted a 1GB for N1000. You have to send recharge cards worth of N1000 to them. I recommend that you know who tell send recharge cards to.

Unlike MTN WhatsApp bundle, Airtel gives you 30MB to be used by every apps on your phone. This also work in every OS brand. The validity is 1month.
