Airtel Android Data Plans! Live at affordable rates……
Few months ago, I shared a post on the best data plan to use on Android. In that post, I suggested Airtel Blackberry Plan since it’s affordable and also work across non-BlackBerry devices.
But to my astonishment 🙄 ! Airtel introduced Android Bundles (1st of it kind among the telecommunication networks in Nigeria).
The beauty of Airtel Android data plan is that it works on any kind of device.
According to Airtel, ‘The Android Bundles are designed to help you get more from your Android device. With the Android bundle you will never have to worry about how much data you consume.’
The Android Bundle is a hit for nocturnal internet users especially, as it allows them to enjoy browsing at a more affordable rate at night.
Airtel Android data plans are in two category. One is for N2,000 while the other is N3,500. Below is the details:
| Plan | Data Allowance |
Retail Price(N) |
Utilization (Peak/Off Peak) |
Burn Rate | USSD Activation Code |
Validity period |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Android 2.0 Bundle | 2GB | 2,000 | 6 a.m. – 9:59 p.m. | 1.5 kobo/ KB | *437# | 30 days |
| 10 p.m. – 5:59 a.m. | 1 kobo/ KB | |||||
| Android 4.5 Bundle | 4.5GB | 3,500 | 6 a.m. – 9:59 p.m. | 1.5 kobo/ KB | *438# | 30 days |
| 10 p.m. – 5:59 a.m. | 1 kobo/ KB |
To check you data balance, simply dial *223#.
After purchasing any of the Airtel Android data plans and your device refuse to connect, try this:
- Check that you have the right APN settings – internet.ng.airtel.com
- Check that your mobile data connection is turned on
- Contact Customer Service on 121 if you have other questions.
Expecting other networks to roll out this feature…..

Good day! Pls when I check my data balance all I see is WTFB 50MB till may -10. but my Facebook and whatsapp are not reloading so pls. what is the meaning of WTFB?
@MIKE YIYEH, WTFB is an acronym for WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook and BBM
Pls I want to know if the 2k for 4gb is something one can renew if it finishes. Tnx
@Makinde Aderonke, yes, you can always renew it.
Airtel is a useless network. Nobody deserves to use that shit.
Pls I will like to know if this android plans can work perfectly for my windows phone. I subscribed for the 2gb but it didnt last me a month. I’m thinking of going for the 4.5gb.
@ Kelv, it will work on your Windows phone. Check the post above for how Airtel deduct the data.
@ bro segun, Pls how can I subscribe for 400 plan n I want to know if its weekly or monthly plan. Thanks
@Itakorode Sola, weekly.
Hello… Please, how can I check my data balance on 1,500 (1.5gb…*440*16#) plan.
@ife, use *123*9#.
Yes the android data bundle plan introduced by airtel is best i have seen among the network operators in Nigeria but i must confess that i was disappointed. The first time i subscribed for the 4.5gb which is #3500 low and behold i could not exhaust it.Secondly,i went for the 2gb which is #2000,just four days ago airtel cleaned up my unused balance. What am saying here is this company refused to give enough service in my area which is somewhere in port harcourt precisely Eleme LGA. My fellow Nigerians, i called them severally they will pick my calls after so much time wasted and promised to rectify the problem between 24hrs but nothing will happen until that one month will expire your unused data will be gone without you making use of it and at the end they will call you their VALUED customer. For Me over here it’s a waste of money.I can only value them over here if they will make their network and service very viable just as this area I have mentioned.
Pls, i need to know if the aritel 4.5GB android bundle can be used on my computer. I need ur reply.
@ Vivian, it will work on computer.
i discover that when am using the bbm bundle on my android, my megabytes finishes quickly. if i download somtin worth of 5megabytes, and i check my remaining data bundle plan, it will be like 20 megabytes been deducted. will it be same with this android plan. whats the issue with that bb plan deduction
@olarewaju, yes, Airtel BB data plans consumption rate is bad. The burn rate of the Android data plans is: from 6 a.m. – 9:59 p.m. it will be 1.5 kobo/ KB and from 10 p.m. – 5:59 a.m. it will be 1 kobo/ KB
airtel i heloooo. u hv done me proud. ur service in my area is waoooo. i hv always being with and now, u hv given me more reasons to stay on. i lv uuuuu
What do you mean by “The Android Bundle is a hit for nocturnal internet users especially, as it allows them to enjoy browsing at a more affordable rate at night.”?
@Aroa Rimus, it means that charges at night is more cheaper than what is being charged in the day time. Check the table in the post for more enlightenment.
This Airtel Android bundle, does it work on all devices. also the BB bundle,does it still work on Android phone
@victor, Airtel Android and BB bundles work on all devices.
It seems airtel is going somewhere and they will surely stay ahead of other network for now with this plans
Airtel is fucking up jooo,although the plans make sense but as soon as I subscribe to the Bb plan the service will became something else.
@irewole, Airtel service may be bad in your area.
