Mobile data plans, USSD codes and network guides across Africa

Choose Nigeria, Ghana or Kenya for sourced operator guides, balance-checking routes and purchase methods. Nigeria now has the first verified public bundle-price table, with rankings still held back until tax treatment is normalised.

Launch status

Verified bundle prices are the next gate

32 verified factual bundle prices are live today. Ranking pages still stay out of Google-facing launch lists until tax, product class and source coverage are normalised.

Anytime data

The unrestricted allowance used for any future standard price-per-GB calculation.

Validity

A 7-day bundle is not ranked as though it were the same as a 30-day bundle.

Bonus data

Night, social, video and app-only allowances stay separately labelled.

Renewal

Auto-renewal and one-off purchase conditions are made visible.

Eligibility

App-only, SIM-specific and targeted offers are not treated as universal.

Source date

Every live comparison needs an official source and a recent verification date.

Popular tasks

Start with a practical mobile-data answer

Afri Data Cost currently prioritises tasks that can be checked against official operator and regulator sources. Price comparisons return once enough current bundle records are verified.

Recently verified

Market information checked at the source
