Airtel scrapped its 60-minute bundles in 2025. We reveal the best Night-Only, Weekly, and Everyday-ON substitutes—ranked by cost per MB and activation ease—so you can download, stream, or game on the cheap. Buy instantly via SmartSMSSolutions.
Need a burst of data for downloads, game updates, or HD streaming but discovered Airtel’s hourly packs are missing? You’re not alone. The 2025 catalogue no longer lists the 2 GB/₦200, 5 GB/₦500, or 10 GB/₦1 000 one-hour options. Happily, several current bundles deliver comparable value—sometimes at an even lower cost per MB—if you know where to look.

Why These Plans Replace Hourly Bundles
- Night-Only 250 MB (₦50) – Cheapest way to pull down a file or two during off-peak hours.
- Weekly 1 GB (₦800) – Good for a one-off conference call or cloud backup when you need exactly a gig.
- Weekly 1.5 GB + Bonuses (₦1 000) – Beats the old 5 GB/₦500 hourly plan on cost per MB once you factor in free YouTube Night data.
- Everyday-ON 1.33 GB (₦7 500) – Delivers a controlled daily burst for power users who don’t want to burn through an entire bucket in one hour.
Who Benefits Most?
- Downloaders & streamers – Schedule large files or 4K videos during the 00:00–05:00 window.
- Gamers – Use the ₦1 000 weekly pack to install or patch titles without killing your regular data.
- Remote workers & students – Everyday-ON guarantees a fixed daily allowance for video meetings and coursework.
