It will be very paramount to put
into consideration this season, first quarter of the year what data at the
moment suitable for a new and existing mobile device. Like I normally say that
what fuel is to a car is what data is to every device. I’ll quickly update you
with the working and suitable data plan across all networks.
Airtel: As at 1st of Jan 2015, Airtel Android 1+1 package no longer work. It has been
discontinued. In other word, you can no longer get 4GB
for N2,000 or 9GB for #3,500; it has been stopped, except if the good Lord decide to touch Airtel NG CEO to open the plan again. However,
I won’t advice anyone to go for Airtel BIS, it is a complete waste of money; except you are
using normal OS7 blackberry, that’s when you
should use Airtel BIS. Aside of this, it is not good, not
suitable, for any mobile platform.
I recently learnt Airtel weekend plan surf unlimited but I haven’t’ tried it. It
only cost #200 to activate weekend night plan, and after then it keeps surfing,
according to my source but I haven’t test it.
So if Airtel network is very
fast in your location go for Airtel Android Plan, it works on iPhone, Window phones, Blackberry10 device and all Android
smartphone.
MTN: As at this moment, MTN Blackberry plan still rocks on all Android devices using OpenVPN or Simple Server. If you have TroidVPN too, then you can try it out. At least, with MTN BBC Day, if you are lucky with your download,
you can get enough Gigabytes.
Don’t waste too much money this
season but do the needful with your available resources. However, if you’ve
tried the MTN BIS on your Android device and it doesn’t work for you, then I’ll
advice you do the normal 1GB for N1,200 from
third party reseller. It works on Java/Symbian, window phones, iPhones, Blackberry10 and Android
smartphones.
GLO: Glo
Blackberry still rocks with full speed, and with Glo Blackberry plan, you can
have full return for your money. You already know, that you can tweak your IMEI to use Glo BIS. However, this doesn’t work for iPhone
users and Window phones user with some other non mtk users. Some non mtk users
(not all) can easily get this working by going to playstore and download Engineering Mode (MTK).
Before you get your next Android
phone, make sure it is an mtk if your original intention is to use cheap
data plan on that device. Even if your device is not an mtk device, you can go
with MTN bis and the likes. Glo Blackberry plan gives you 1k for 3GB, it works
on all Blackberry10 devices and Android device. You can’t tweak it
to work with PC.
Etisalat: This network
seems to be coming up since you can now get 250MB for N500, 500MB
for N700 750MB and 1.GB for 1,300 from a trusted 3rd party
data reseller. This plan works on all devices which includes iPhone, window
phones, Android device and Blackberry10. That data doesn’t zap
like the normal data plans.
Normal Blackberry users don’t have problem
at all. Just do the normal blackberry and it will serve you for a month.
And if you are using a Mifi or you are in
a location where SMILE network is present, then I’ll advice you go for it… It
is fast, reliable and cheap.
