Since Freebasics was introduced in the country, Nigerians have been taking advantage of it to browse the web for free.
However, in the past, you can only access the service on Airtel and 9Mobile networks. Now the MTN has taken a bold step to join the bandwagon. This is really good news which has been long overdue since MTN network has the widest coverage in the country.
So now you can use your MTN SIM and start browsing through various websites such as Facebook, Supersport, Wikipedia, BBC News etc without having to pay for data or airtime.
To start browsing with Freebasics, visit
https://freebasics.com or type the address url on your browser (preferably Opera Mini) and you are good to go.
Note that there are limits on using the FreeBasics service. It only allows access to selected sites that support it and sites such as Facebook will not allow the viewing or downloading of photos and videos without data.
Freebasics was first initiated by Facebook/Internet.org to help many people in selected countries (including Nigeria) to have free access to the internet.
With MTN now part of Freebasics, Glo is now left as the only major mobile network that has yet to join the service. Glo should have been in the service right from the beginning since they are the self-proclaimed 'Grandmaster of Data Plan' and they love gifting out data to woo customers to the network. Hopefully, MTN move may change them in the future.
