MTN offers their subscribers the option to subscribe to time base data packages that is cheaper and sustainable. These data plans mostly comes more data that might be hard for you to finish within the time frame. But if you want more for less then you need to subscribe to MTN Hourly Data plan.
MTN Hourly Data Plans
Before we proceed, here are the list of the hourly data plans that MTN offers.
- 2GB for N200, duration 60 minutes (1 hour)
- 5GB for 500, duration 60 minutes (1 hour)
- 10GB for N1,000, duration 60 minutes (1 hour)
If you look at the list above you will see that MTN is offering you a lot more for a lesser price. However, you should also know that this data plan is a time based data plan that can only last for 1 hours, the question is can you finish 10GB in less than 60 minutes?
What you can do with MTN Hourly Data Plan
You and I know that it’s impossible to finish 10GB within 1 hours on a normal browsing or even with little download. There are few things you can do with this type of data plans so that you don’t waste your money for nothing and they are as follows:
Download: The best time to subscribe to MTN Hourly Data plan is when you have a lot of things to download. The data plan will be the best to download heavy files, games and HD movies without spending much.
Watch Movies: If you like watching movies online, if you subscribe to 2GB for N200 or 5GB for N500 might just be good enough to keep you entertained for 60 minutes.
Tiktok: From my findings, tiktok consumes data more than any other platforms that I know. But then that is also the best place to be entertained with amazing dancing steps from the best dancers in the world.
