It is worth it to note that this plan was launched for prediction purpose only for the Airtel Smart Trybe subscribers who enjoy their internet at less expensive data prices during off peak hours.

The Airtel Night Plan comes into effect between 12:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. and costs a modest sum of only 25 NGN for a 250 MB allocation. This is because the Airtel Night Plan is the most affordable data plan service existing in Nigeria, where users can surf the internet freely without much strain in their pockets. In order for users to enjoy the benefits of the Airtel Night Plan, they are required to ensure that they subscribe to the Airtel Smart Trybe. If you are not a member already, you can join this plan very easily by dialling *412# and then pressing “1” on the dialogue box that opens in order to accept the offer.

Having been accepted into the plan, the following steps can be used to facilitate the purchase of the Airtel Night Plan as one of the advantages you will get upon joining the plan;

1. Ensure that your Airtel SIM card has at least a balance of 25 NGN so that you can subscribe.
