Airtel Unlimited
The company has started in India. Its full title is Bharti Airtel Limited, and today it is pretty popular in many countries in Asia and Africa being also one of the top 10 biggest network operators on the planet (it has over 400 million subscribers).

Airtel Data Plan Prepaid (Unlimited)
Some countries where Airtel offers its mobile services get different unlimited data plans as prepaid options. Most plans offered in Nigeria are limited in data, voice calls, and text messages. Still, once you visit the official Airtel website and search through, you will find the plan called BB Unlimited.
What is BB Unlimited about? Firstly, this is a prepaid package. Secondly, it is designed for BlackBerry users. Thirdly, it can be activated using the quick USSD number or via a short SMS code.
Here are the three packages with unlimited data allowance within BB Unlimited plans:
- Daily unlimited option – 100 Naira per day, you can activate it using *440*16#
- Weekly unlimited package – 525 Naira per 7 days, you can activate it via *440*17#
- Monthly unlimited plan – 1500 Naira per 30 days, you can activate it through *440*18#
All the unused data will not be rolled over to the next data period. It will expire by midnight of its valid date, so you will have to recharge your account to extend the unlimited Airtel package.
Users who prefer using monthly plan can renew it automatically. All other BlackBerry Airtel unlimited plans can be only renewed manually.
