I subscribed to the 50 GB package
But with a little use it turned out to be quite the trick
I have used 750 MB, this is what my phone shows in the usage history
But in their application it shows that I have consumed 1.5 GB
For your information, I tried two other applications and did not suffer from this problem at all
So I tried this application because the package price was good

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Nigeria?

MTN Nigeria: A subsidiary of the South African multinational MTN Group, MTN Nigeria is one of the largest mobile operators in the country, offering extensive voice and data services.
Airtel Nigeria: Part of the Indian telecommunications company Bharti Airtel, Airtel Nigeria provides a wide range of mobile services, including voice and data, with significant market presence.
Glo Mobile (Globacom Limited): A Nigerian multinational telecommunications company, Glo Mobile offers comprehensive mobile services and is known for its competitive data plans.
9mobile (formerly Etisalat Nigeria): A Nigerian telecommunications company, 9mobile provides mobile voice and data services, focusing on innovative solutions for its customers.

In addition to these major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), Nigeria has recently seen the emergence of Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). MVNOs offer mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. For example, Vitel Wireless has become the country's first MVNO to be issued a mobile number series by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC). However, it's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on MNO infrastructure, not MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Nigeria?

Travel eSIM plans for Nigeria that include a phone number and SMS capabilities are available from two providers listed in our data: GlobaleSIM and Roamify. All of the plans use the dialing code +1, which is the code for the United States. Therefore, the phone numbers you receive are not local Nigerian numbers but foreign numbers that work when calling and receiving calls or messages within Nigeria.

Both providers offer plans where inbound voice calls are supported and inbound SMS can be received. Roamify plans add outbound SMS capability, while GlobaleSIM plans provide only inbound SMS. Prices begin around $5.00 USD for a 1 GB, 7‑day package from GlobaleSIM and climb to medium‑tier forecasted prices near $35.00 USD for a 10 GB, 30‑day plan from Roamify. Validity periods vary from a single week to a full year, with the longest Roamify offering a 365‑day plan.
