9mobile data plans 2021 are data bundles from the 9mobile telecom operator revised for the year 2021. These plans are affordable and are organized into categories depending on the need of each subscriber.

9mobile is the 4th largest Telecom operator in the country with about 12,808,582 number of subscribers translating to about 6.41 percentage of the total subscriber base in the country. The telco after years of consistent subscriber's losses have recently witnessed slight gain in the numbers. Relabelled as ‘9mobile’ from ‘Etisalat,’ the company underwent a change in management and ownership following incapability to repay loans it got for service upgrades.


9mobile tariff plans are cheap call plans which was discussed in an earlier article under the telecom section of this forum. These plans as well as the one for data are relatively exorbitant than those from the three other major telcoms. Nevertheless, 9mobile plans are always unique and worthy of trial.

There are daily, weekly, monthly and some catalog of special bundles available on the network. Noted also should be that the data offerings from the telco including other products was affected by change in ownership. The bundles which earlier had with them accompanied some bonuses now have little to none of such perks. Nevertheless, these plans still shoulder-up with ones from contemporaries like the favourite MTN data plans , the Glo data plans from the indigenous operator, and the Airtel data plans.

9mobile Daily And Weekly Data Plans

These are data plans which are valid for some few days or weeks. These type of data plans are mostly activated as an emergency bundle, serving the times which a subscriber is out of a regular monthly plan.

The daily and weekly bundles compared to others from contemporaries are of less value.

Data Plan Price	Data Volume	Validity
N50	25MB	1 day
N200	250MB	7 days
N200	650MB	1 day
N300	1GB + social	1 day
N500	1GB + social	1 day
N500	2GB + social	3 days
N1,500	7GB + social	7 days

From the table above, the three last bundles offers contemporary data of 1GB and limited social media access. As stated before, you stand to obtain a slightly better deal than this from other major telecom operators in the industry. Example is with the N50 naira daily data bundle. This bundle gives a 40MB data volume on the MTN and Globacom network providers, with the later even offering staggering bonuses for new subscribers.

9mobile Monthly Data Plans

Monthly plans are bundles that are valid for thirty days, and it is due to this virtue that the bundles are the most popular. Subscribers of 9mobile monthly data plans have the benefit of getting a budget which has included the expenditures for the plans.

Aside that, these plans are more valuable than the daily data plans and offers a convenient validity period of thirty days.

Data Plan Price	Data Volume	Validity
N500	500MB	30 days
N1,000	1.5GB	30 days
N1,200	2GB	30 days
N1,500	3GB	30 days
N2,000	4.5GB	30 days
N4,000	11GB	30 days
N5,000	15GB	30 days
N10,000	40GB	30 days
N15,000	75GB	30 days

From the above, one could easily see that the value of data offered increases with increase in data price.

9mobile Night/Weekend Data Plans

Night plans are also available. These plans give data bundles which could only be utilised during the night and the early hours of the morning.
