Airtel 30 GB for ₦2,500 – Valid for 60 days
Scroll to the bottom to see the update on this plan.
On a sunny Friday afternoon, I went out to get bread but God gave me bread and butter.
I wanted to buy ₦2,500 recharge card to subscribe for Airtel 5GB monthly subscription. When I met the attendant, I first asked her if she does data transfer (I was only trying to find out if there’s a cheaper plan).
With a sad look on her face, she told me they don’t do Airtel data transfer because they can only sell a maximum of 1GB per day blah blah blah…
She then introduced the mighty 30 GB for 60 days plan to me. I was surprised and somehow skeptical at the same time. I asked her a lot of questions just to confirm if this will truly work for me.
I asked if the plan would work on 3G and she replied yes. I finally decided to give it a trial, and now I’m rocking my 30 GB without any hassle.
You can also get yours right away.
How to get Airtel 30 GB for ₦2,500
As this is a new (or promo) plan, not everyone knows about it. Go to any Airtel center where SIM registration can be done. Tell them you want the 30 GB promo SIM. The price may differ in your area but I obtained mine for ₦2,500.
You’d be given a new SIM card and the SIM registration will be done on the spot. Insert your new SIM card in your phone and hold on a second to get a series of messages.

What next after 60 days?
If you’re curious like me, you’d probably be thinking of what will happen next after the validity expires (in 60 days) or when you exhaust the data.
Well, the SIM card becomes a normal one. You can go ahead and subscribe for any of the available Airtel data plans. If you wish to continue browsing with your airtime, the normal charge rate is 5 kobo per KB (kilobyte).
I believe you can still repeat the process of getting 30 GB for ₦2,500 as long as the SIM card is still available for sale.

Hi Fouad,
The article was wonderfully written with detailed explanation, I can’t ask for more, am rushing out right now to grab my 30GB Airtel SIM, I don’t want to miss this for anything else. Lest I forget you’ve got a nice blog and you’re doing a good job, please keep it up.
Hi Obodo,
Thanks for the compliments and for stopping by. I’m glad you found the article explanatory enough.
I went to an airtel shop.. they said it doesn’t exist unless I buy a mifi that comes with free 30gb for 20000
Not every outlet knows about the plan. They gave that reply because they don’t know about it. I guess you’ll have to check elsewhere.
Good post.
