Late last year, the Nigeriam Communications Commission (NCC) mandated all Telecom companies, including MTN, Airtel, Glo and 9Mobile to enforce data rollover policy starting June 26th. The industry regulators further sent out a reminder early this month, and it seems the directive is gradually taking effect.
NCC took to its Twitter page to announce the enforcement of the new data rollover policy, where all service providers including Airtel, 9mobile, Glo and MTN will enable you to use your expired or remaining data bundle in the subsequent month.
According to NCC Twitter handle: Issuance of Direction to Service provider on Data rollover which now enable consumers to roll over unused data for 1-7days depending on your data plan.This takes effect from 26th June,2018.- NCC.gov.ng @NgComCommission
Jun 21,2018.
With regard to NCC's order, a new law is now in place to allow you carry-over your remaining data after it expires or when you purchase a new bundle of the same category within the grace period highlighted below. Meanwhile, this is only applicable to main data bundles, not bonus or promo data.
MTN, which has the highest number of data subscribers has promptly arranged how its data rollover will be done:
It's worth noting that during the grace period, your remaining data will continue working. This is a commendable move by MTN, and we're waiting for other service provider to published how their new data rollover will be administered. If not, NCC will hammer them with heavy fine.
