This is not a cheat but an official subscription that has been available to all Airtel subscribers for more than 2years now. This is a very old plan, but we are posting about it to create awareness to those that might have forgotten about it and to those who are oblivious to its existence.
Airtel is offering 1gigabyte of data to all its customers to browse, download and surf the internet for as low as 200 Naira and this plan is Valid for 10days.
This is an incredible offer but as usual, all good offers have a negative side to them called terms and conditions. For this plan, the only downside is that it can only be used on a 2G network, so phones, modems and internet dongles using 3G or 4G / LTE would not be able to use this data.

To buy the data, have a minimum of 200 Naira worth of airtime on your Airtel Sim.
Dial *482*1# and you will be given 1gigabyte for 10days.
As stated clearly above, this plan is built for 2g networks but I will be showing You how to use this to browse and download on your smartphones.
Note: This Might be slow depending on your network's 2G coverage but in our next article, I will be sharing a trick on how to speed it up.
