The best official plan at each price, picked by data per naira. Validity is the trade-off: the daily plans give the most data, the monthly ones last.

MTN 1GB for ₦200: the Smart Bundle
MTN’s ₦200 1GB plan is real, but it is not on the *312# menu. It is the 1GB Smart Bundle, valid 24 hours, sold only inside the MyMTN NG app: open the app, tap Data, then Daily, and pick 1GB Smart Bundle. Dialling *312# with ₦200 gets you 230MB instead. There is no SMS code for it and no “₦200 for 1GB” weekly or monthly version. Anyone selling a ₦200 1GB code that lasts 7 days is selling something else.

Daily plans expire 24 hours after activation.

MTN Social Bundles: WhatsApp, Facebook, TikTok
Social bundles only open the apps you paid for; every other site is charged to your main data. Text the keyword to 312. They auto-renew while you have airtime: text the NO or STOP keyword in the last column to 312 to cancel. Check the balance with *323*4#. Allowances are fair-use caps, not open-ended.
| Bundle | Price | Activate | Stop renewal |
| WhatsApp daily (25MB) | ₦25 | WAD | STOPWAD |
| Facebook daily (25MB) | ₦25 | FBD | STOPFBD |
| TikTok daily | ₦50 | TBD | NOTBD |
| Ayoba weekly (40MB) | ₦50 | ABW | NOABW |
| TikTok weekly | ₦400 | TBW | NOTBW |

“All social” covers WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Ayoba, 2Go, WeChat, Vskit and Eskimi; the weekly one adds Snapchat. There is no MTN YouTube-only bundle: YouTube data comes as an add-on inside the weekly and monthly plans above.
MTN WiFi Plans: Router and MiFi Bundles
Home WiFi runs on a separate broadband price list. Buy on the router SIM with *312*500# or *461*1#, or in the MyMTN NG app. The three monthly plans add 5GB that only works on YouTube, Teams and Zoom. Check a router balance with *461*4#.
| Data | Price | Validity | Per GB |
