Expat Moving To Nigeria...mtn Or Airtel by GSoleiman: 10:30am On Apr 21
Hello Everyone,

We're a family of 4 moving to Ikoyi, Lagos. We'll be mainly in Ikoyi-Lekki-VI area 99% of the time.

Looking for 4 Sim Cards for our mobile phones (not for MiFi) and not sure what to choose...both Airtel and MTN websites are confusing.

Priority is internet as we'll be mostly using WhatsApp, Facebook, Netflix, etc...5G is not a priority for now.

Assuming each line needs 30-50 GB per month, which of the 2 networks is more cost-effective?

I'd appreciate a simple comparison that shows how much per month gives how many GBs.


Thanks in advance...

All network has similar rates.. no much difference
Those areas have Fiber broadband you pay based on bandwidth its cheaper than mobile date, buy your line first and enquire about broadband when you land Nigeria.
get your 2 Airtel and 2 MTN for calls and data.. just to be safe in case one network is down.. you can also get Glo as back up.

If steady intenet connection is a major consideration for you, go for Glo.

You'll surely thank me later.

Your best bet!

Get dual sim devices,

Get on MTN and Airtel.

You can always stay subscribed to both so as to ensure you don't have a downtime,

Also you can think about getting starlinks as a third option if you truly want to enjoy Netflix.

Cheers

I am. I have a problem with the word "expat" though. You are an immigrant . When people keep this in mind, it would never occur to them to treat their hosts badly. It's fancy lie words like "expat" that trigger maltreatment.

Goodmorning to you
