MTN Data Sim Review | Unlimited Data Access | Pros And Cons Of MTN Data Sims

Unlimited data SIM only deals are an excellent option for those who find themselves powering through data on the move. 

If you already know you want an unlimited data SIM then this will be easy for you to know what is all about and learn about data SIMs after reading this post.

MTN Network is the first network in Nigerian to come about data Sim. For the sake of this post I will be using DS to represent data Sim.

What is a data SIM?


A data SIM card provides mobile data internet connection on a SIM card compatible device such as smartphones, tablets and pocket Wi-Fis. Using a data SIM card is a good option to connect to the internet when Wi-Fi is not available.

You should also know the different between your normal mobile Sim card and a data Sim.

What is the difference between mobile SIM and data SIM card?
A mobile SIM allows users to make standard phone calls, send SMS , and connect to the internet via mobile data, while a data SIM card provides only mobile data. While you cannot make standard voice calls and SMS from a phone number using a data only SIM card, internet-based messaging (like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger) and internet calling (Skype and Viber) are practical alternatives.

Do I actually need unlimited data?

Realistically, most people won’t actually need unlimited data. If you’re the kind of person who’s using 20GB of data as an absolute max then this is going to be slightly overkill.

If you’re constantly exceeding your data caps or find yourself out of data every month, it could well be the perfect investment for you.

Which network offer unlimited data and which is best?

For now MTN Network offers DS Sim. But you can’t get it officially from any MTN office.

How Can I get an unlimited data only SIM?

Unfortunately, unlimited DS SIMs aren’t exactly common place. We don’t sell data Sim too, this is just a review from those that have used it, but if you get in touch with anybody selling you should have known the prons and cons before purchasing it.
