Internet And Blackberry Data Plans In Nigeria
Look around you and you would surely find someone using the internet. The internet is so crucial to daily life nowadays that it’s unthinkable to go hours without it. However, many internet users are unaware of the various data plans that are available. Some simply ignore them and surf the web on pay-as-you-go basis. Most times it is a decision which is aptly described in the famous saying; “penny wise, pound foolish”. From personal experience, I have come to know that NOT subscribing to a data plan is actually more costly in the long run. If you need to be online, subscribe to a data plan.
The list below contains prices, data capacity and activation codes of data bundles of the various telecommunication networks in Nigeria:
