There are several ways to check 9Mobile data balance. In case you are wondering, 9Mobile is the new name for Etisalat network, the fourth largest telecoms company in Nigeria.
The recent name change was as a result of the pull out of the core investor from the company. The new management of the company had to change the name because Etisalat is the business name of the former core investor.
That said, the change in name did not really affect the operations of the company. Not many people even noticed the big change that occurred except for the ‘9Mobile.’
Subscribers to the network continued to enjoy the same quality of service.
Though 9Mobile is the fourth largest GSM company in Nigeria, it is acknowledged that they are the best when it comes to delivery of data services.
Subscribers attest to the fact the network is comparatively faster than other GSM networks.
There are several Internet data bundles/packages on the network. Depending on which package one subscribes to, one might need a different code to check the 9Mobile data balance.
Most of these data bundles are already known to 9Mobile subscribers. However before talking about how to check 9Mobile data balance, a little bit about the new data plan known as Blazeon.
