This post is NOT for you.

So, do not bother going through it.

You will only end up wasting your time if you do.

But if you have been loading data through VTU platforms...

Then this post is for you.

Earlier this morning, VTU users across the country woke up to the rude shock of astronomical increase in the price of all MTN data plans (SME, CG and Mega).

It would have been bearable if it was a 5% or 10% increase.

But, MTN, the "Lord of Airtime and Data" in Nigeria suddenly decided in its wisdom to jack up the price of data by over 30%.

What this means is that...

MTN SME 1gb data which used to cost N241 suddenly went up to N321

And MTN SME 10gb data which used to cost N2,410 also went up to N3,210

Which is very high indeed.

What this also means is that...

Resellers who were selling MTN SME data plans for cheaper than that are now faced with a decision.

Either to continue selling MTN SME data at their old prices and experience huge losses.

Or, jack up their prices too in line with this new increase.

But, in the midst of this increase...

I find that MTN CORPORATE (CG) data plans are still far cheaper than the MTN SME data plans.

For instance...

MTN CORPORATE 500mb = N134
MTN CORPORATE 1gb = N268
MTN CORPORATE 2gb = N535
MTN CORPORATE 3gb = N803
MTN CORPORATE 5gb = N1,338
MTN CORPORATE 10gb = N2,675
MTN CORPORATE 20gb = 5,350

All data plans are valid for 30 days.

So, how do you take advantage of this price increase by MTN?

As a consumer...

You can switch to MTN CORPORATE (CG) data as it is far cheaper right now than MTN SME data.

And as a reseller...

You can increase your prices slightly while you resell MTN CORPORATE (CG) data in place of MTN SME data.

MTN CORPORATE (CG) DATA
You Buy You Sell You Pocket
500mb 134 200 66
1gb 268 350 82
2gb 535 650 115
3gb 803 1,000 197
5gb 1,338 1,500 162
10gb 2,675 3,000 325
20gb 5,350 5,700 350

Your customers will not complain so much about the price increase...

Unlike if you have to adjust your prices in line with the huge hike of the MTN SME data prices.

And according to Mummy Jasper of Data Hall: "MTN CORPORATE data is better and browses faster. Aside from that, it is presently cheaper than MTN SME data. And your customers will not also complain that their data finishes very fast."

So, the data price increase is not so bad after all.

It promises to be a win-win-win for everyone.

By the way, it is only MTN that has increased its data prices across its various data channels.

The data prices of other network providers such as Glo, Airtel and 9mobile have remained the same.

Anyway, if your high expenses on data has been a source of concern for you...

You can take advantage of the cheaper data plans at VTU YARD.

And, yes, the data plans of Glo, Airtel and 9mobile are also available on VTU YARD.

Why not try Airtel network?

Even though I fall into the exceptions you stated in your caveat, I am happy I read the thread.

At least I have learnt there are MTN Data plans called SME, Corporate & Mega and the rates for the first two.

I also liked the breakdown for resellers.

Like they say, no knowledge is lost.

@ reason for OP: I hope the affected ecosystem are able to pull through.

I don't know about MTN, but Airtel CG plans get exhausted in a flash

when did you start using Airtel?

I've always had an Airtel number and my family members have Airtel lines

Alright.

They wiill only end up with a huge loss, because some people will abandon their MTN Networks for other alternatives. A wrong time for increase in a crashed economy.

Now Airtel has also increased their data prices for their CG data too.

Who knows if Glo and 9mobile will follow suit?

Only time will tell.
