On a sunny Friday afternoon, I
went out to get bread but God gave
me bread and butter.
I wanted to buy ₦2,500 recharge
card to subscribe for Airtel 5GB
monthly subscription. When I met
the attendant, I first asked her if
she does data transfer (I was only
trying to find out if there’s a
cheaper plan).
With a sad look on her face, she
told me they don’t do Airtel data
transfer because they can only sell
a maximum of 1GB per day blah
blah blah…
She then introduced the mighty 30
GB for 60 days plan to me. I was
surprised and somehow skeptical
at the same time. I asked her a lot
of questions just to confirm if this
will truly work for me.
I asked if the plan would work on
3G and she replied yes. I finally
decided to give it a trial, and now
I’m rocking my 30 GB without any
hassle.
You can also get yours right away.
How to get Airtel 30
GB for ₦2,500
As this is a new (or promo) plan,
not everyone knows about it. Go to
any Airtel center where SIM
registration can be done. Tell them
you want the 30 GB promo SIM.
The price may differ in your area
but I obtained mine for ₦2,500.
You’d be given a new SIM card
and the SIM registration will be
done on the spot. Insert your new
SIM card in your phone and hold
on a second to get a series of
messages.
You’d also receive a configuration
message with two installation
options; “full install” and “custom
install”. Select “full install” and in
the next window input “0000” as
your PIN. You should get a success
message.
Now, switch off your phone and
switch it on to start browsing
instantly.
How to Activate
Your SIM
Wait, you’re not done yet.
Remember you just registered your
SIM, so load ₦100 recharge card to
activate your SIM.
Dial *223# to check your data
balance. See what I had.
Bonus Airtime
You just got 30 GB for ₦2,500 but
do you know there’s something
more?
After recharging ₦100, check your
balance by dialing *123#.
 |
| Voila! You get 6 times the amount you recharged divided into 3 segments. |
If You Missed the
Configuration
Message
Just in case you can’t access the
configuration message for
whatever reason, calm down, I’ve
got you covered.,
To get the configuration message,
text “internet” to 232 and it’ll be
sent to you in few seconds.
Remember to switch off your
phone and switch it on again after
installation to enjoy internet
service.
You have to install the
configuration before you can
browse.
