Airtel Nigeria, the country’s second-largest telecom operator, has implemented a significant tariff adjustment, increasing data prices by up to 50% and revising voice call tariffs. The move, announced on the company’s website on Monday, aligns with the broader push among telecom operators for a tariff review to mitigate the impact of inflation and forex volatility.

The price revision affects various data bundles, with the company assuring customers of continued affordability. “Whatever your data needs are, we have a plan for you. Our fast, affordable, and reliable internet experience will keep you connected anytime, anywhere. To get started, *312#,” Airtel stated in its revised price list.

A senior Airtel official confirmed the development, emphasizing that the adjustments were necessitated by rising operational costs. “Yes, we have updated data prices today, and they are available on our website. However, the increase is not up to 50 percent,” the official clarified.

The revised daily and weekly data plans include:

– 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

– N500 for 750MB plus 1GB YouTube Night and 200MB YouTube Music/Spotify valid for 7 days

– N500 for 1GB plus 1GB YouTube Night and 50MB Socials valid for 7 days

– N500 for 2GB valid for 2 days

– N1500 for 5GB valid for 7 days

MTN, Nigeria’s largest telecom provider, has also adjusted its data and call tariffs in line with the Nigerian Communications Commission’s (NCC) approval. The revised pricing 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.
