Airtel 4g Goes Live In Some Nigerian Cities – Here’s How To Activate It by jameshype(op): 11:40pm On Feb 13, 2018

A few weeks ago, some subscribers started noticing the presence of Airtel 4G LTE on their devices and now, it is live in some part of Ogun, Lagos and Ibadan. Hopefully it would be rolled out to other states soon.

What is Airtel ‘ s 4G Band?

Airtel is runs on Band 3 ( 1800MHz ) which is compatible with almost all 4G enabled smartphones

Here’s the result of Airtel’s 4G Speedtest in Ibadan, the download speed was 28.45 Mbps and upload was 8.77 Mbps.

How To Activate It

Walk in to any airtel office closest to you with your current Airtel SIM and request for a sim swap. After the sim swap, if the network is live in your location , your 4G should be up and running.

You can run a check if Airtel 4G is visible in your location and let me know. Go to your phone
settings – Mobile networks – Network
operators –Search networks .

Tap Search networks to initiate a search. After a short period, a list of available networks will be presented to you.

I’ve also reached out to Airtel for comments on this.

That will be a Nat type 3, unfortunately Airtel doesn't have Port forwarding unlike mtn where you'll in most cases get a type 2 but it takes a lot of tries to login to your PSN account... Airtel is not bad though despite this shortcoming provided the signal is good in your environment

a good speed with a nat type 3 is still junk. I recently bought ntel thinking I will get a type 2, the speed recorded in my area was above 60mbps, I could login easily to psn but nat type was still 3... Its sad though...

Maybe so,my 9mobile also give a Nat type 3 on PSN,I've been trying to find a way to get a Nat type 2 all to no avail so gat no choice but to continue with it most of the data services providers in naija don't really give subscribers the latitude to forward Port so they can enjoy a seamless online game play, it's sad really
