To reflect the pricing hike, Airtel increases data and call rates.
According to information posted on its website on Monday, Airtel Nigeria, the nation's second-largest telecom provider, has changed its data pricing structure and applied tariff modifications. The price change reflects continued industry concerns about growing operating expenses and impacts a number of data bundles. The change reflects the larger movement among telecom companies for pricing revisions to lessen the effects of inflation and foreign exchange volatility, even if Airtel has not yet issued an official statement.
In addition to data price adjustments, Airtel, which has over 56 million subscribers, also increased voice call tariffs over the weekend
A senior company official told journalists on Monday that the increase was “not up to 50 per cent”.
Despite the adjustments, Airtel reassured customers of its commitment to affordability, stating, “Whatever your data needs are, we have a plan for you. Our fast, affordable, and reliable internet service will keep you connected anytime, anywhere. To get started, dial *312#.”
The revised daily and weekly data plans include N50 for 40MB valid for 1 day, N100 for 100MB valid for 1 day, N200 for 200MB valid for 3 days, N350 for 1GB valid for 1 day, N350 for 350MB valid for 7 days, N500 for 750MB plus 1GB YouTube Night and 200MB YouTube Music/Spotify valid for 7 days, N500 for 1GB plus 1GB YouTube Night and 50MB Socials valid for 7 days, N500 for 2GB valid for 2 days, and N1500 for 5GB valid for 7 days.
MTN Nigeria earlier adjusted its data and call tariffs in line with the NCC’s approval.
