MTN Hourly Data Plans Codes (10GB for ₦1,000, 5GB for ₦500, 2GB for ₦200)
MTN Nigeria offers subscribers special time-based data bundles that are affordable and suitable for heavy internet usage within a short period. These plans provide large volumes of data at cheaper rates compared to regular daily or weekly plans.
If you need more data for less money and you have heavy downloads or streaming to complete within a short time, then the MTN Hourly Data Plan is a perfect option for you.
MTN Hourly Data Plans (Updated List)
Below are the available MTN hourly data bundles:
- 2GB for ₦200 – Valid for 60 minutes (1 Hour)
- 5GB for ₦500 – Valid for 60 minutes (1 Hour)
- 10GB for ₦1,000 – Valid for 60 minutes (1 Hour)
As you can see, MTN gives you a large amount of data at a very low price. However, these bundles are strictly valid for 1 hour only. Once the 60 minutes expires, any unused data will be forfeited.
Important Question: Can you really finish 10GB in just 60 minutes? The answer depends on how you use it.
What You Can Do With MTN Hourly Data Plan
Since it is almost impossible to exhaust 10GB with normal browsing within one hour, here are the best ways to maximize this plan:
1. Download Large Files
This is the best use of the hourly plan. You can download:
- HD movies
- Large mobile or PC games
- Software updates
- Windows or macOS updates
2. Watch Online Movies
If you enjoy Netflix, YouTube, or other streaming platforms, subscribing to 2GB for ₦200 or 5GB for ₦500 is enough to stream HD content for an hour.
3. Use Data-Heavy Apps Like TikTok
From observation, TikTok consumes a significant amount of data due to high-quality video streaming. If you plan to scroll or upload videos, the hourly bundle can be very useful.
