Airtel Night Plan Doubles in Price, See better alternatives

This price hike follows a similar move by MTN, which recently increased its monthly data plan from N2,000 to a whopping N6,000. Although MTN later revised its decision after issuing an apology, it remains unclear whether Airtel will follow suit and roll back this increase for its Airtel Trybe Night Plan users.

This night plan is designed for heavy internet users who prefer to browse at night at a lower cost and for some of us, this is the data we use to download movies and other heavy apps and games from the internet.

In fact, with the MTN Night Plan, you can browse with the cheap data plan from 11:00 pm to 6:00 am, and if you are on the Glo Night Plan, your data remains active for 24 hours, meaning, if you buy your Glo Night Plan at 2:00 am today, it will expire at 2:00 am tomorrow. they also have the 1GB for N100 Glo Night plan that lasts for 5 days.
