We are starting this guide with MTN, which has quite a number of network users. With the MTN night plan, you can buy up to 2GB of night data at just N200. Isn’t this awesome? You can also use the MTN midnight bundle on any device of your choice including iPhones, Android smartphones, modems, Mifis, tablets, and others.

How to Activate and Use MTN Night Data Plans

STEP 1: Migrate to MTN Pulse Tariff Plan (Skip this step if you’re already on MTN Pulse Plan)

The only way you can enjoy the generous MTN midnight data is by being on the MTN Pulse tariff plan. To migrate to MTN Pulse, all you have to do is dial *123# and then choose tariff migration to MTN Pulse Plan.

STEP 2: Activate your preferred MTN Pulse Nightlife Bundle

After ensuring that you have N25 or N50 airtime on your mtn number, there are two methods to activate mtn night data plans: MTN night subscription codes and SMS

A.) Subscription Codes for Activating the MTN Pulse Nightlife Bundle

2. Dial *406*31#* for the 250MB at N25 bundle and *406*32#* for the 500MB at N50 bundle.

Personally, I think this method is simpler. All you have to do is send NT2 to 131 for the 500MB/N50 night bundle or send NT1 to 131 for the 250MB/N25 mtn midnight bundle.

MTN Night Plan Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How do I get up to 2GB mtn midnight bundle at N200?

You can subscribe to either the 250MB or 500MB multiple times throughout the night until you have reached your daily/nightly limit of 2GB per night.

E.g: i.) You can activate 250MB up to 8 times only every night (250MB x 8 = 2gb)

ii.) You can activate 500MB up to 4 times only every night (500MB x 4 = 2GB)

2. Can I rollover my unused MTN midnight data balance?

No, MTN does not allow you to roll over your unused MTN Nightlife balance to the next day/night. To put this in simpler terms, if you don’t finish your mtn midnight bundle before 6 am, the balance will be cleared or wiped away. And even if you subscribe for a new data plan at 11 pm the next night, you will only get the amount of data you subscribed for that night.

3. What are the MTN night data times? That is, at what times can I use my MTN midnight plan?

The mtn night plan is valid from 11 pm to 6 am.
