MTN killed the 5 GB & 10 GB hourly giants, all MoMo promos and every terabyte yearly plan. Our cheat‑sheet pairs each ghost bundle with a 2025 replacement—400 MB hourly, 2.5 GB daily, 480 GB/quarter and more—plus the exact codes that still deliver data today.

Since February 2025 MTN has been wiping entire categories of data bundles—hourly “mega” packs, MoMo‑only promos, and the once‑legendary multi‑terabyte yearly plans. Dial a code such as *312*127#* today and you’ll get “Invalid selection.” Click an old website link and you’re rerouted to an error page. Confused customers are flooding Twitter, hunting for whatever replaces their 10 GB/hour or 1 TB/year lifeline.

This article does four things:

1. Lists every bundle MTN has removed (or never re‑enabled).
2. Maps each to an official 2025 replacement, drawn from MTN’s current public price sheet (see image).
3. Gives working SMS/USSD codes and rough cost‑per‑MB for the new option.
4. Offers data‑saving tips so the higher 2025 tariffs hurt a little less.

If you were relying on any of the 14 “ghost bundles” below, skip the trial‑and‑error and pick the alternative that fits your usage pattern.

Why Did MTN Kill the Old Plans?

1. Extreme cost‑per‑MB – The 10 GB hourly pack once averaged < ₦0 .05/MB. Diesel and FX realities made that unsustainable.
2. Regulatory price bands – NCC’s 2025 tariff review raised the floor price on data.
3. Push to app & MoMo – MTN now hides its most aggressive promos behind digital channels, slashing USSD freebies.
4. Simplified catalogue – Fewer SKUs mean less confusion (and fewer loopholes) for pricing arbitrage.

How to Choose a Replacement Quickly

If you used to…	Now do this…	Why
Burst‑download 10–15 GB in an hour	Buy 2.5 GB Daily × 6 for ₦4 500 and schedule tasks over 6 days	Still the cheapest ₦/MB in small bursts (₦0 .29).
Top‑up 1 GB every day via MoMo	Use 1 GB + 1.5 min Daily @ ₦500	Only direct 1 GB day pack left.
Run on 750 MB Weekly	Switch to 1 GB Weekly + 5 min @ ₦800	33 % more data, small price bump.
Rely on yearly 1–4 TB plans	Adopt the 480 GB / 3‑Month cycle (₦90 k) or 250 GB Monthly (₦55 k)	Lowest surviving ₦/MB for big users.

Data‑Saving Hacks Under the New Prices

1. Restrict HD streaming – force 480 p on YouTube/Netflix.
2. Schedule OS & game updates on Night YouTube (11 p.m.–6 a.m.) in monthly bundles.
3. Turn on Chrome Lite & Instagram Data Saver.
4. Block background sync for TikTok, Facebook, cloud‑photo backups when on mobile.
5. Monitor with 1314# every evening.

What About Future Bundles?

Internal chatter hints MTN may trial a 720 GB / 6‑Month “Always‑On” pack later in 2025 at ≈ ₦0 .18/MB, but nothing is live. Bookmark the MyMTN app and SmartSMSSolutions; they post new SKUs before USSD menus update.

Conclusion – Surviving MTN’s 2025 Bundlediet

Your favourite 5 GB or 15 GB “steal” is gone. The cheapest hourly pack shrank 92 %. Yearly terabyte plans? History. The silver lining: with updated codes you can still secure respectable ₦/MB rates—just in shorter cycles and via digital channels. Review the table above, pick the replacement that matches your rhythm (hourly burst, daily drip, or quarterly whale) and activate through a method that actually works in 2025.
