Honestly, data is becoming too expensive 😅 I just saw that MTN 1GB is now around ₦480 and it got me thinking... How are you guys managing your data these days? Do you: Stick with normal network plans? Use VTU platforms? Or just reduce usage? I recently tested one cheaper option and it worked fine (instant delivery too), but I’m still observing it. Curious to know what everyone here is using 👀 1 Like |

That can be very frustrating though, I had similar issues but I always reach out to their support and they resolve my issue... Hungrychicken: |

Francixx0x:Support no gree support.  Maybe, it depends on what platform you buy from. Mine woke up one day after the data hike crisis and decided to chop my money, after many years of buying from them. |

Oh sorry about that, but they're other trustworthy platforms out there... perhaps building a personal/business Vtu portal isn't hard even without zero knowledge on coding... Hungrychicken: |

Francixx0x:Thanks. The site don close sha. I’ll just stick to buying directly from the network providers. |

Buying 1gb or 2gb or even 150gb these days is the fastest way to go bankrupt! Its always better to migrate to speed based plans that affords u to pay a flat fee and get unlimited internet data which is still the best thing ever. Airtel offers that for 30k monthly and also, 25k for the ODU. Mtn has theirs as well - Mtn fibreX for 25k monthly. I personally use that airtel, and its been since 2023 Nov. And its been heaven cos i can afford to download anything i want or watch youtube or other platforms whenever and however i like and also use for work. If you have plans of going these route and you're like 2 or 3 staying say within same compound or house near each other (side by side), u can team up to split the bill. Those 10gb for 2k or 100gb for 20k will put a big hole in your finances cos i've tried it before, e no just pay me. So, give the speed based plans a trial. Francixx0x: 2 Likes |

I use Airtel Unlimited monthly data for 30k, so I and 2 other neighbors will come together every month to contribute 10k each since we all work remote most of the time. This is just the best thing to do if you can honestly. 1 Like |
