Cheap Airtel Social Bundles and How to Subscribe to it
The rise in social media usage has led telecom companies such as Airtel to come up with a special package termed as Airtel Social Bundles.
Social media platforms have transformed into one of the most important sources for the latest news, trending topics, and entertainment, and have also become a gold mine for marketers and content creators.
Social media apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, TikTok, and others take up a large portion of our daily phone usage.
In line with this, Airtel social plan is suitable to Airtel users that frequently engage on social media platforms. With these offerings, Airtel users are able to communicate, get updates, and have fun without worrying about the costs of data use.
Lets delve deeper…
Definition of Airtel Social Bundles
Like the name suggests, the Airtel Social Bundles are tailor-made data packages that cover a single social media account, excluding all other web development tools.
These are also known as Airtel social media bundles. The Airtel Networks Limited further divides these bundles by specific social media sites, meaning some are only valid for Facebook or Instagram usage. For example, a Facebook only plan deletes the ability to use WhatsApp unless another data plan is purchased for those accounts.
Based on the user’s consumption of data, the flex plan bundles have different validity periods. Let us examine some instances that illustrate this and detail the process to activate your preferred Airtel social bundle.
How to Activate Airtel Social Bundles
So let us start with…
Facebook only plans
Airtel’s Facebook based data plans are available only for loan and cannot be directly bought. However, users can purchase bundled plans that have Facebook as part of the social offerings.
Here is a guide to help users borrow Facebook only plans from Airtel. **Note:** Users have to be in free mode to be able to borrow Airtel Facebook plans.
How to Borrow Facebook only plans
- Open Facebook on your phone
- Click “Buy Now”
- Choose the bundle you want to borrow and press confirm.
Also when you don’t have Facebook data, bundle subscription offers pop up on the screen. Simply click ‘yes’ and follow the prompts.
These directions will assist you in borrowing Airtel Facebook plans easily, however, you should be sure to follow the repayment terms of the borrowed plan.
Airtel WhatsApp Plans
In it’s efforts to sustain the tagline that “there is a plan for everyone”, Airtel has introduced specialized WhatsApp Data Plans which are divided into WhatsApp Only and WhatsApp Plus bundles. WhatsApp plus bundles provide a more comprehensive approach compared to WhatsApp Only bundles, with each tier designed to meet specific user needs.
WhatsApp Only Data Plan
The WhatsApp Only plan allows users to focus purely on WhatsApp related activities. The data allocated is solely meant for WhatsApp usage, meaning no other application on your phone can use this data pool. Users on this plan do not have to worry about being cut off mid-conversation due to data constraints, being able to utilize the app hassle free.
WhatsApp Plus Bundles
What’s more, similar to the Whatsapp only bundles, these plans are structured to offer data benefits together with additional calling plans. Aside from providing extra ‘talk time’, which is marketed as Xtra talk time, these bundles offer the most bang for your buck.
What’s even better is that users on the WhatsApp plus bundles are provided with data for WhatsApp as well as additional talk time which makes the plan very appealing.

Bundles for Opera Mini
Airtel ventures towards helping their users by giving away a monthly reward of 1.5GB free data to be used on Opera Mini or the Opera News platform. This ‘gift’ comes with its restrictions, however, as users have a 50MB daily cap on data. So while it definitely is a nice “gift” in the form of free data, those who wish to browse more, would not find this free data generous.
Airtel helps when it comes to the restrictive browsing by providing an option for users to subscribe to Opera Bundles. While these bundles come with more base freedom, users must understand that there are some restrictions as well: streaming videos or downloading content using these bundles is not allowed.
The reasoning behind this limitation is to ensure that the data provided is primarily used while browsing in the Opera Mini environment. Thus it serves the purpose of network users managing resources while still ensuring a good experience for the user.
How to Buy Opera Plans on Airtel
| Price | Data Vol | Valid period (Days) | Sub Codes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₦20 | 25MB | 1 | *312*253# |

| ₦100 | 300MB | 30 | unknown, use alternative |

TikTok has taken only a short span of time to become the most used and talked about media platform where users can post and watch thousands of videos and music streams.
TikTok is super popular due to how easy it is to engage with its short form videos. Many new content creators gravitate towards TikTok as compared to other social media platforms because it helps them showcase their skills to a wider audience.

How Social Bundles work
If the main objective is saving mobile data, choosing the social bundles from Airtel emerges as a better option. Here’s the reason:
As we explained in our post about saving mobile data, we talked about restricting running applications in the background. Since phone apps, by design, are meant to be used more and more, they tend to consume endless data even if they are not in active use…
This is where Airtel social bundles are useful since they are operational on specific social media channels only. This means that other apps on your phone will not have the chance to use up your data.
Nonetheless, it is important to add that subscribing to Airtel social bundles is more advantageous if you are an active user of social media apps. The Airtel social plans will fit in your usage.
