This Promo Allows Users To Get 2X Of Their Purchased Data.

This Feature Was First Launched By Mtn, and I think it is Good Because It Makes Browsing More Enjoyable and Longer-Lasting.

One Major Benefit Is That The Data Doesn’t Zap, Unlike The Normal Data Plans, Which Are Costly And Easily Consumed.

This Bonus Is Available For All Sims in Nigeria. You can read them below:

This offer works on any device, i.e., Android, Java, Desktops/PC, IOS, Tablets, etc.

How To Activate 100% Double Data On MTN

Usually, This Offer Is Given Automatically To Users By MTN, But If You Haven’t Received The Message, You Can Send These:

  • DOUBLE To 131
  • PROMO To 131
  • FREE  To 131

These Messages should be sent, i.e., Double >> Promo >> FREE differently

After sending these messages, you will receive three messages from MTN.

* First message: “Your request has been received.”

* Second message: “You have sent an invalid command.”

* Third message: “Dear Customer, enjoy Data offers on MTN Deal Zone, Dial*131*1#” After receiving the third message, you can now purchase your data plan by dialing *131*1# and enjoy your double bonus.

How To Check The Double Data Allocated On MTN

If you’re using *131*4# to check your MTN data balance, you won’t find the double bonus plan there.

Hence, you should send 2 to 131. Look closely, and you should find the additional data as a bonus. The bonus will expire on the same day as the regular subscription.

What that means is that if you subscribed to a 5GB monthly plan that’s set to expire on the 31st of January, the bonus will also expire on the 31st of January. So, no need to rush.

There you have it. That’s basically how to get a double data bundle on MTN.

NOTE: The third message is what determines if your SIM is eligible or not for the double data. Once you receive the third message, you can start with small data plans such as the 50mb for N100 and check the balance, if the bonus is there, you can proceed to other bigger plans. If it wasn’t given, kindly stay clear.

NOTE: The double data bonus applies only to data plans purchased through *131*1# or by sending a command or USSD to 131.

How to use Mtn Data Bonus

The MTN double data bonus can be used to stream, download, and surf the net just like the standard data bundles. There are no restrictions on how you can use it.
