After Airtel released this 2G data pack, a lot of Naija bloggers came up with various (actually all the same) ways to make the 2G only plan work with 3G network. Many of us will agree that this walk arounds didn't work. (3G/4G Otptimizer, Script Manager and co).

So, I did my own research and found out that Airtel India also launched the same plan about 4/5 years ago. I'm sure we all know that the only set of people more desperate for internet cheats than Nigerians are Indians. It turns out our 9ja bloggers got the Script Manager stuff from the Indians and judging from the numerous comments in the numerous Indian sites I went through, Script Manager didn't work for them either.

Now, the method I'm about to show you guys is very frustrating and is meant for those who have already subscribed for the plan. (I can't advise my enemy to do this plan)

This is it:

1. Turn off your data
2. Set your preferred network type to 2G only
3. Turn on your data
4. If you are already downloading a file, the download should resume at this point (Move to step 6)
5. If you are not downloading anything, open any webpage in your browser.
6. Without turning off your data, set your preferred network type to 3G only.

N.B: You can only use 10MB at a time both on 2G and 3G before you have to reset the network. When your download pauses or your browser shows "Your current data balance is zero", repeat steps 1-6.

P.S: Funnily, I've used about 2.8GB this way but upon checking my data balance, it shows that I haven't used more than 200MB. So, what I deduced is that the data reads only when you're on 2G. I'll update this post with my testimony if I can use more than 7GB before it expires.

Sorry for the long post. Here's a smiley: or two.

PSPS: If you're downloading large files on your mobile, use Opera Mini. Uc browser has a way of making the file corrupted due to pausing and starting. If you're on PC, use IDM. Thanks.

When the download stops and after performing steps 1-6

True.what I do is to switch my network to auto when downloading,it begins to download with 3g speed for like 2min.I downloaded over 500mb worth of files in a day..lol..

Feel like trying it but this 10MB at a time is the shit.

Please please..I beg you..Please don't do this plan. Unless you have more than enough time on your hands.

As in, for a 200 mb file, I will pause and change 20 times. Lol

pls someone should tell me how to check the airtel 2g pack balance!

Give or take 2 times. Lol

I detected this mode few weeks ago and the funny thing is that, the 10mb"s u use one 3g is actually free as it won't be deducted from your account, but trust me u gotta be patient tho

Op welldone , I tried it too and its working even lasting on the 3g for much longer than I expected. I'll update more of my experience as I download more.

Are you for real?

Lol. 10mb at once? That's preposterous!
What about guys like me that start downloads of gigs with UCweb in the night, then sleep off, only to wake and see 10mb downloaded!

I still prefer the Mtn #25 for 500mb.
That's 4Gb, for 4 nights at same rate like Airtel's #200.

Oh well, whatever works for you.

Maxcollins042:
Are you for real?

yes na....

This is only only 4 those with patience and perseverance cus am you will have to spend about 3 hours just to download a file of 50mb

I have downloaded over 2gb with this trick and my data is still remaining 1.9gb.

if i can whatsapp with it and browse,then i will do it

general111:
yes na....

you uses the method described by OP ryt?

Maxcollins042:

yes.it works exactly the same as he had said it..

That is painstaking. A serious person will not have time for that..

Ok

directonpc:

Migrate to Mtn IPulse by dialing *406#.
Once it's 12am, send NIGHT to 131.
Don't send before 12am.

Enjoy.

Hmmm

Please how do I unsubscribe from this plan. I want to use my normal data. Being trying the opt out option but the data still remain.
