Airtel smart connect is the default tariff plan for all Airtel new subscribers. It is obvious that when a customer purchases a new sim card, they expect to receive a welcome bonus. Giving bonuses to subscribers is a great strategy telco companies from around the world uses to attract new subscribers. And Airtel, one of the leading network service provider in the country is doing the same with massive reward offerings!
Since its acquisition in 2010, Airtel has risen through the ranks. The following are your expectations when purchasing a new Airtel Sim Card.
- Bonus offer eight times (8x).
- Double Data offer, which means that every data bundle purchase on the network will be doubled.

Airtel default tariff Plan Benefits
When a subscriber purchases, register, and activate a new airtel sim card, the subscriber will be automatically added to the smartCONNECT tariff plan by default, which offers 8 times airtime benefits, a 100% data bonus on purchased data plans and so much more! Mentioned above.
The bonuses are enticing enough to get anyone started in the Airtel network. But before you swiftly go get the SIM, let us briefly discuss how these Airtel deals function for a better understanding!
8x airtime recharge benefit
The term “8x” simply means that any amount recharged on your line will be multiplied by eight (8). For example, if you recharge N100, you would notice that you now have N800 on your account for calls, SMS, and data services.
Airtel Smart Connect (8x) offer is into three parts: 200% of the bonus can only be used to call Airtel network users, the other 200% can be used to call all available networks in Nigeria, and the remaining 300% can be used to surf the internet. I.e pay as you go (PAYU)
Have you noticed anything?
Let’s go back, 200% for airtel to airtel calls plus another 200% to call all local networks plus 300% for pay as you go equals 700%. In the real term, if you recharge N100, this equates to N700.
However, you will see an increase of (8x) in your account, which is the 700% in your bonus account plus the amount you recharged. This makes it a (8x) deal.
The table below previews the bonuses rewarded to SMARTCONNECT subscribers!
| Recharged | Bonus (Airtel to Airtel) | Bonus (Airtel to other Networks) | Data (N) | Total | Data (MB) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N100 | N200 | N200 | N300 | N800 | 39MB |
| N200 | N400 | N400 | N600 | N1600 | 78MB |
| N300 | N600 | N600 | N900 | N2400 | 117MB |
| N400 | N800 | N800 | N1200 | N3200 | 156MB |
