Nigeria mobile data guide

Consumer mobile operators with active subscriptions in the NCC subscriber/operator table.

Local prices use Nigerian naira (NGN)

Start with the right task

Afri Data Cost keeps operator facts, practical instructions and bundle comparisons separate. This prevents a support code from being mistaken for a price claim and makes the evidence easier to check.

Providers in the latest checked regulator snapshot

This directory reflects the scope and reporting period described by the named regulator source. It is not a claim about every telecom licence, coverage area or service type in Nigeria.

Freshness and scope

Market snapshot (April 2026) checked: 4 August 2026

Operator access methods are reviewed on a shorter cycle than general guides. Bundle prices use the strictest threshold and remain absent from rankings when current evidence is incomplete.

  • The regulator table lags the access date: April 2026 was the latest period available on 2026-08-04.
  • Mafab, ntel, Smile and other licensed or fixed-wireless providers are outside this four-operator active-subscriber scope; this does not assert that they are inactive in every service category.
  • T2's official migration from 9mobile is incomplete across support content, which still contains some 9mobile and Ig9ite labels.
  • Some operator pages retain alternate or legacy subcodes, so public access instructions must keep their verification date visible.
