Now that we have different night data plans from MTN, Etisalat, Glo and Airtel, it's right to compile all of them together and show you how to subscribe for the night plans including review of what they offer. Last year, some of the Nigerian Telcos rolled out some cheap data plans which are usable at night.
While some customers welcomed the development, few others opposed it saying it is a way of depriving them sleep at night. So in their quest to make the data packages more attractive to everyone, some of the telcom industries like Airtel and MTN slashed the night plan price as low as just N25 per night. Although Airtel scrapped the unlimited timely base plan which was fans favorite then especially when you have huge files to download.
When looking at the current night data plans from these network providers, i think it's not something you must subscribe to always but when needed. What am i saying? When you have a lot of movies to download or whenever you want to perform system upgrade, software updates, application updates, installation of heavy HD games like FIFA 16, PES 17 etc, the night plan is for you.
Meanwhile, at the moment, Airtel seems to offer the best night plan while Etisalat offers the worst even with the newly introduced Etisalat 2GB for N1000 and 5GB for N2000 that offers browsing from 7PM till 6:59AM and WhatsApp MB.
Having said that, i will be briefly reviewing All night data plans on Airtel, MTN, Glo, Etisalat, price and how to subscribe for them and validity period
