Airtel Nigeria, a telecom operator, has increased its data prices and implemented tariff adjustments, according to details published on its website on Monday.

The price revision affects various data bundles and reflects ongoing industry concerns over rising operational costs.

The adjustment highlights the broader push among telecom operators for tariff reviews to mitigate the impact of inflation and forex fluctuations.

In addition to adjusting data prices, Airtel also increased voice call tariffs.

A senior company official stated 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#.”

Revised Daily and Weekly Data Plans

  • 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

Under this new pricing regime, Airtel has replaced its cheapest monthly data plan of 1.2GB plan for N1,000 with 2GB for N1,500.

Other Changes

  • 3GB for N2,000 (from 1.5GB at N1,200)

Call rates have been bumped up to 25 kobo per second from about 18 kobo per second.

Meanwhile, recall that MTN has also adjusted its data and call tariffs in line with the NCC’s approval.

The revised pricing implemented over the past week has seen customers paying more for calls, SMS, and internet usage.

The latest increases come as telecom operators grapple with inflation, foreign exchange volatility, and the rising cost of network expansion.

While the adjustments aim to support long-term service improvements, subscribers may face increased financial pressure as communication costs rise.
