Things To Note

It is quite important that you have sufficient airtime balance on your phone before you dial the subscription code.

The data plans are valid for a week ie seven (7) days but this does not mean that you can’t exhaust the data plans before expiry. This is based on your usage.

The data plans can be auto renewed. This means, at expiry if you have sufficient airtime on your line, it can automatically take the amount and then credit you with data.

If you wish to browse with your airtime after exhausting your data bundle, please dial *131*200#. You will be able to browse at the rate of N10.24/MB. You may dial *606# and choose Xtrabyte to borrow data.

The subscribed data can be used anytime but the bonus data can only be used between 1am and 7am.

You can rollover unused data as long as you activate the same data plan before its expiry. This means any data you have left can be carried over if you do another subscription before that one expires. The new one will then be added to the old one and the expiry date of the new subscription applies.
