Just In: Airtel Increases Data Prices Yet Again by Knetpro(m): 4:46am On Mar 11
If you have been using *312# to subscribe internet data...

Or, you have been using your bank's short code to subscribe data...

Or, you work in a company or bank where you have access to free data or highly subsidized data...

Please waka pass.

This post is NOT for you.

So, do not bother going through it.

You will only end up wasting your time if you do.

But if you have been loading data through VTU platforms...

Then this post is for you.

During the weekend, VTU users across the country woke up to the rude shock of astronomical increase in the price of all Airtel CG data plans.

It would have been bearable if it was a 5% or 10% increase.

But, Airtel the self-acclaimed "Smartphone Network" in Nigeria suddenly decided in its wisdom to jack up the price of data by over 30%.

I do not understand the rationale for this.

Could it be that they want to discourage people from using the SME data plans?

One cannot say for sure until the management of Airtel release a statement on this.

In the meantime, what this means is that...

Airtel CG 1gb data which used to cost N229 suddenly went up to N304

And Airtel CG 10gb data which used to cost N2,290 also went up to N3,040

Which is very high indeed.

What this also means is that...

Resellers who were selling Airtel CG data plans for cheaper than that are now faced with a decision.

Either to continue selling Airtel CG data at their old prices and experience huge losses.

Or, jack up their prices too in line with this new increase.

So, how do you take advantage of this price increase by MTN?

As a consumer, you do certainly have a choice!.

You can either continue to load internet data at the new data prices for Airtel CG.

Or, you can switch to MTN SME or Glo CG data plans.

At least you can get...

MTN SME 1gb data @ N284

And Glo 1gb data @ N253

Which is far better than Airtel 1gb @ N304

And, come to think of it...

Airtel data rate per kb of data usage is way more expensive than that of any other network service provider.

So, it would help you a great deal to switch to MTN or Glo depending on which one works better in your area.

And as a reseller...

You can increase your prices in line with the new Airtel CG data prices.

By the way, it is only Airtel that has increased its data prices across its various data channels.

The data prices of other network providers such as MTN, Glo and 9mobile have remained the same.

Therefore, you can encourage your customers to switch to MTN SME or Glo CG data plans as an alternative to Airtel CG data plans.
