Read further to have a better understanding about data on 9mobile.
Standard Data plans on 9mobile are grouped into different categories.
- Daily / Weekly Plans
- Monthly Plans
- Mega Plans
Some of the daily/weekly plans come with additional social plans that you can use for browsing social media platforms.
If you get the 100mb + social plan for N100 for instance, your usage of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter will not count against your 100MB data allocation.

If you buy it up to 2 times in a week, you will get back 14GB bonus data valid for the entire weekend.
