Cellphones and internet : Durability and Cost difference

Internet connectivity is a necessity in everyday life now, most especially as a hiver.

There are lots of telecommunication companies operating in my country.
Each having a slight difference on how their data subscription works, some telecommunication companies have a specific tariff plan that favours in internet connectivity.

And there are daily plan, monthly, night plan etc with it's difference in price and duration.
You will have to find a one that suits you more.
Having it in mind that any of the subscription plan will finish before the speculated duration.
Or better still you set a limit to how you make use of it, for it to sustain you a bit.

Using a telecommunication company that gives bonuses on every recharge is another way to save cost, or a telecommunication company that doesn't quickly deduct it's data is a win win.
With this I think I am referring to Airtel network.
Unfortunately, I don't use it because their network is slow in connection mostly in my area.

I use Mtn, it's fast affordable, though it finishes fast.

Amongst all it's plan I am currently using the hot deal 7 days Data4Me plan which is 1.5gb for ₦300($0.64), sometimes the ₦200($0.43) for 1gb usually pops up too.

To me I think is much better than the normal monthly plan.
Except you are going for the higher plan i.e both is cost and duration.
Though some people said the monthly plan last more than the little days own.


Their is also wireless broadband router, which can be connected through wifi.
I think this is mostly for multiple users or large company use.
Some families use this as well, heard it saves cost than constantly subscribing little by little, and can be widely used without fear of exhausting quick.

To purchase it ranges from ₦55,000($118.15) - ₦10,000 $21.48, then the recharge amount is different but they gift them a huge amount of bonus.

Is funny how purchasing data is now like drinking water daily.

The Data4Me plan I normally use only last me just three-four days.
If you calculate with me, I spend more than the least monthly plan amount.
But this isn't the point, is the durability one should be after.
Just imagine the monthly plan to last me for just one week, then there is a huge difference.

I will stop here for now.

Do any networks in your area offer unlimited data? If so, how much ₦ would that cost a month?

I don't know of any unlimited data.
Maybe single individuals do that.

1.5gb for 1000 Naira is so much cheaper than I'm getting here in Canada. Oh well, I can dream that things will get better here. However, with a really big country and small population to support the network I don't think things are going to chance here any time soon.

Thanks so much for posting!

My son's room mate got into big trouble with his cellphone plan and now has no service. Here is his plan:

He is paying about 32,000 Naira per month with 50GB of data. However, if you look carefully it's $20 or 10,000 Naira per GB after that.

MTN network in Nigeria has this listing:

Less than half the price and 50% more data than you would get in Canada.

Yes. Cheaper there.

Unfortunately, my son's room mate went over his data limit. He got his phone bill for 600,000 Naira (no that's not a mistake). He used 110GB of data and the charge for extra GB destroyed him.

If he had a 120GB plan through MTN he would be paying this:

he's paying 30x more on his bill...which he can't pay...so they cut off his phone line, ruin his credit report, and will take away his phone.

It's a very bad situation for him.
