They have flexible mobile internet and data plans that appeals to various classes in our society.

The major drawback with Airtel Nigeria is their data burn rate, which is one of the highest in Nigeria. E.g. you can purchase a 10GB data plan and your data account might show that you have 10MB, but in reality, you would be getting 5MB worth of data. Which means you may not be able to download files above 5MB.
