Best Night Data Plans in Nigeria – Airtel, 9mobile, Glo and MTN (2023)

Night data plans are becoming increasingly popular in Nigeria as they offer users the ability to access the internet at a discounted rate. With so many different mobile networks offering night data plans, it can be difficult to decide which one is best for you.

In this article, we will look at the best night data plans offered by Airtel, 9mobile, Glo, and MTN so that you can make an informed decision. We will also discuss the various codes and subscription requirements for each network’s plan.

Airtel is the undisputed leader when it comes to night data plans. It offers a wide variety of different plans and prices, which makes it very easy for users to find a plan that suits their needs. Airtel’s bandwidth is among the highest in Nigeria, which makes it an ideal option for those who work online or enjoys streaming media content regularly. The service also offers free data when you spend N1500 or more in one month with your airtime purchase.

9mobile is a company that has made a name for itself in the Nigerian market. It is a relatively new company that only began operating in 2015. It offers affordable rates and codes, which makes it an attractive option for users who need to save money on their data plan. However, as this network is fairly new, reliability will be an issue if you’re thinking of using 9mobile as your night data provider.

Glo is another mobile network that provides night data plans at reasonable rates. The service has grown rapidly in Nigeria over the past few years, offering much cheaper rates than Airtel and MTN. The company only began operating in 2015, which is why reliability may be an issue if you use Glo for your night data.

MTN is also a very reliable network in Nigeria, fast and top ranking among all other networks in Nigeria.
