Smile Data Plans FAQ
Is Smile Nigeria still operational in 2026?
Yes. Smile Communications Nigeria still runs 4G LTE service in nine cities and continues to publish updated bundle prices on smile.com.ng.
How does the 130GB Bigga plan work?
You get 130GB valid for 30 days. After you finish that, Smile gives you 3GB free every day until day 30 ends.
What happens to leftover data when my plan expires?
You lose unused data once validity ends, unless you renew during the grace window. Buy the same or a higher-value plan inside the grace period and your unused data rolls over.
Does Smile have unlimited internet?
Yes. Freedom BestEffort gives you 1TB at up to 21Mbps for 30 days. Freedom 3Mbps and Freedom 6Mbps give you smaller FUPs at lower speeds.
What does the Smile MiFi cost?
The MiFi Starter Pack costs ₦16,000 and includes the MiFi device, a SIM, and 5GB welcome data.
Can I use my own phone on the Smile network?
Only if your phone supports Smile's LTE bands (Band 20/Band 3). Most modern Samsung, iPhone, Tecno, Infinix, and Xiaomi phones sold in Nigeria work. Check with the Smile shop before you buy a SIM.
How do I make calls with SmileVoice?
Download the MySmile app, sign in with your SmileNumber, and dial from inside the app. Calls run on data, so you need an active bundle.
What ID do I need to buy a Smile SIM?
Bring your National Identification Number (NIN), one valid government ID, and one passport photo. KYC is required by NCC rules.
How does Smile compare with MTN, Airtel, and Glo for home use?
Smile beats most competitors on consistent 4G LTE speed inside its coverage zones, but its footprint is small. If you live outside the nine covered cities, MTN FibreX, Airtel SmartHome, or Glo Jumbo Home work better.
