Airtel tariff plans are one of the cheapest in the country. You can send a call through to your far-away friend at a rate as low as 11k/s. This rate of billing per time, however, is plan specific. Some other tariff plans have their different call rate, bringing to bear the question: which tariff plan is the best for a call.

All Airtel's tariff plan effective from the beginning of this year are invented to serve several purposes; some are better for data subscription, while others are just made for calls. Others are just in-between data and calls, as always for some selected type of subscribers.

It is worthy to note that the telecom network, like any other network in Nigeria, most often abstain from revealing the billing of a particular plan, except the package's billing rate is the selling factor. For these seemingly lucrative plans, the billing rate is surreptitiously sheltered, while it's highs are promoted. An initially unconcerned subscriber after being led to subscribe to the plan would regret sooner when he/she initiates a call.

The numerously listed benefits and bonuses are frankly used to lure unsuspecting persons, while the billing rate balances it all up for them. This ploy is regrettably used by all telecom networks in Nigeria, leaving one with the only choice of learning about the billing rate of every tariff plan, before subscription.
