₦2 000 on MTN now buys 2.7 GB for a month—or, if you play it right, 5 GB over two days or 3.73 GB for a full week at far lower ₦/MB. Our guide ranks each combo, gives instant USSD/SMS codes and shares savvy tricks to squeeze every megabyte from your budget.

₦2 000 sits in a lean middle ground: too big for the small “emergency” bundles, too small for MTN’s new heavy hitters like the 6 GB weekly (₦2 500) or 7 GB monthly (₦3 500). After the February 2025 tariff reshuffle, the network officially offers only one single‑tap bundle at exactly ₦2 000—a 2.7 GB monthly pack with a tiny voice bonus. Everything else requires mixing and matching cheaper daily or weekly bundles.

This guide reverse‑engineers every path to spend no more than ₦2 000 while extracting the most gigabytes, the longest validity, or the most flexible bonus mix. Fast USSD codes, SmartSMSSolutions shortcuts, and data‑saving tactics are sprinkled throughout so you can pull the trigger in under 30 seconds.

Snapshot – How Far ₦2 000 Can Stretch in 2025

*Cost‑per‑MB uses 1 GB = 1 024 MB and counts only core allowances (YouTube night ignored unless noted).

Key take‑away: If raw ₦/MB is everything, two 2.5 GB day passes demolish every other option (5 GB for ₦1 500 → ₦0 .29/MB). If you refuse frequent renewals, the official 2.7 GB monthly is your only single‑purchase choice.
