From 900 % bonuses on 9Konfam to negotiable 25 k/sec corporate deals on Classic Postpaid, here’s the one guide that compares every 9mobile voice tariff after the March 2025 price review—tables, FAQs and airtime‑buying hacks inside.
Nigeria’s telecom operators, including 9mobile, implemented a regulatory‑approved 50 % tariff adjustment at the end of March 2025 —the first nationwide hike in more than a decade. Average voice calls across the industry now hover between ₦13–₦16 per minute—up from ₦9–₦11 just months earlier.
With inflation biting and disposable income shrinking, every kobo counts. Understanding each 9mobile voice plan—what it costs, what bonuses remain, and which bundles replaced older offers—is no longer optional; it’s financial self‑defence.
This comprehensive guide covers all current 9mobile voice‑centric packages :
- Prepaid: 9Konfam, MoreLife Complete
- Business Prepaid Bundles: MoreBusiness 2.0, MoreBusiness Combopak
- Postpaid: Classic Postpaid
- Hybrid: MoreLife Complete Hybrid
You’ll see how each evolved after the March 2025 price revision, side‑by‑side cost tables, migration codes, and step‑by‑step airtime top‑up via SmartSMSSolutions. By the end, you’ll know exactly which plan fits your lifestyle or business—and how to switch in under a minute.
Tariff Landscape In 2025: Why Prices Jumped
The NCC’s 50 % Adjustment
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) authorised a blanket 50 % upward review covering voice, SMS and data to cushion rising operating costs—power, security and forex shocks were eroding margins. Operators implemented the new ceilings in phases, concluding by 31 March 2025.
Consumer Impact
- Voice tariffs: Floor price rose from ₦6.40 /min to ₦9.60 /min; ceiling from ₦50 /min to ₦75 /min.
- SMS: Adjusted from ₦4 to ₦6.
- Data: Average 1 GB now ₦431 (vs ₦288).
9mobile tweaked each plan—some perks were trimmed, others (like bonus structures) stayed intact to stay competitive.

How Each Plan Works In 2025
1. 9Konfam (Prepaid Bonanza)
Ideal for: New SIM users who recharge often and want fat bonuses.
- What Changed After March 2025?
- Core voice rate (main account) nudged up from 28 k/sec to 31 k/sec to reflect the industry floor.
- Bonus call rate remains 83 k/sec, effectively ₦49.8/min, because bonus credit is heavily subsidised.
- SMS in main account rose to ₦6 (from ₦4).
- Why It Still Rocks
- 900 % value on every recharge ₦100+. More weight now shifts to data (700 %) versus voice (100 %).
- Double Data first reload each month for 6 months continues unchanged.
- ₦1,000 one‑off activation bonus remains.
- Watch‑outs
- All bonus voice/data expire in 7 days.
- After 180 days, you’re auto‑migrated to the default Prepaid plan—no more super‑size bonuses.
Quick Math (₦200 recharge)
Component |
Credit |
Effective Value |
Main Account |
₦200 |
Calls @ 31 k/sec = 645 sec |
Bonus Voice |
₦200 |
Calls @ 83 k/sec = 241 sec |
Bonus Data |
₦1,400 |
PAYG data @ N70/MB = 20 MB |
Total: about 886 sec (14.8 min) + 20 MB for ₦200—still attractive despite tariff lift.
2. MoreLife Complete (Flat‑Rate Prepaid)
Ideal for: Call‑heavy users needing predictable per‑second billing.
- Current Structure
- 16 k/sec nationwide, on‑net or off‑net.
- ₦7.50 daily access fee (charged on first call, resets 23:59).
- SMS ₦6, PAYG data 0.05 k/kB (₦51/MB).
- 2025 Adjustment
- Voice rate unchanged (already above new floor).
- SMS increased to ₦6 aligned with NCC directive.
- Access fee unchanged; value erodes slightly due to general price inflation.
Is It Still Cheap?
Break‑even vs default 9mobile Prepaid (42 k/sec) reached in 18 seconds of daily calls. Anything over that and you’re saving.

Perks
- Free incoming calls while roaming on selected networks if you recharge ₦5k+ monthly.

New In 2025
- 100 % data bonus if you repurchase within 30 days still applies, cushioning the tariff hike.
- Rates inside bundle are far below the post‑hike ceiling, making Combopak the sweet spot for voice‑and‑data SMEs.
5. Classic Postpaid (Corporate Workhorse)
Ideal for: Enterprises needing credit terms, VIP features & negotiable bulk rates.
- Standard Local Rate: 25 k/sec (negotiable for high‑volume accounts).
- International: 15 k/sec to top 5 destinations + 1 preferred country.
- SMS ₦4 domestic, ₦25 international (will rise to ₦6 & ₦30 respectively once 2025 contractual addenda renew).
- 90‑Day Credit Policy keeps cash flow flexible.
- VIP white/black lists and Closed User Groups (CUG) improve internal collaboration.
2025 Tweaks
Corporates can now renegotiate floor price annually; most renewed at 25–30 k/sec after the NCC hike, still cheaper than default prepaid.
6. MoreLife Complete Hybrid (Best Of Both Worlds)
Ideal for: Execs who want postpaid convenience with prepaid control.
- 22 k/sec flat (VAT exclusive) from either main or credit‑limit wallet.
- No Access Fee—big win over MoreLife Complete.
- Seamless switch between prepaid and credit limit via 9mobile app.
- PAYG data 0.05 k/kB; MMS ₦100.
2025 Note
Because hybrid accounts carry both wallets, credit‑limit usage mirrors postpaid (can be negotiated). Prepaid side reflects the new NCC floor plus VAT.
