How They Outsell Awuf4U
- Awuf4U’s 5× airtime billed at 40 k/s, so effective rate ≈ 8 k/s.
- BetaTalk’s 2.5× bonus at 42 k/s ⇒ effective 12 k/s —higher, but no ₦100 minimum and bundles stack freely.
- Betamix gives voice and data; a Mini costs ₦50 vs the ₦100 Awuf4U threshold.
Real-World Numbers—Who Saves More?

Monthly Pattern |
Old Awuf4U* |
4× ₦500 = ₦2 500 |
BetaTalk (₦500) |
Betamix Max ×5 (₦500) |
|
35 mins voice + 200 MB |
Bonus airtime = ₦2 000 at 40 k/s → ₦800 used + main ₦500 |
2.5× bonus (₦1 250) @ 42 k/s → ₦735 used + main ₦500 |
5 × (100 MB+2 min) & main airtime → ₦500 data + ₦180 voice |
