Here’s how to do night sub on MTN (Nigeria) using the common current method:

Basic requirement

  • You must be on MTN Pulse , because the standard night plan is tied to that tariff.
  • You need a little airtime (e.g. ₦30–₦100).

Method 1: Main MTN night plan via *406#

  1. Dial *406# on your MTN line.
  1. If you’re not on MTN Pulse , choose the option to migrate to Pulse (usually “MTN Pulse”). Migration is typically free or very cheap.
  1. After you’re on Pulse, dial *406# again.
  1. Select the option for Night Browsing / Nightlife Bundle / Night Plan (often option 2 or 3, wording may differ).
  1. Choose your preferred bundle, for example:
 * 250 MB around **₦30** (11 pm/12 am – 4 or 6 am)
 * 500 MB around **₦50** (11 pm/12 am – 4 or 6 am)
 * Some lines also show bigger night bundles like 1 GB+ at higher prices.
  1. Choose payment with airtime , then confirm (usually “1” to confirm).

Your night bundle will then be active and only usable during the specified night hours (commonly 11 pm or 12 am to 6 am , depending on MTN’s current settings).

Method 2: SMS “Night” to 131

On many MTN lines you can also do:

  1. Send Night to 131 by SMS.
  1. MTN will reply with available Night Plan options.
  1. Reply with the number of your preferred bundle and confirm.

This is handy if you don’t like using USSD menus.

Method 3: Using the MyMTN app

  1. Install and open the MyMTN app on your phone.
  1. Log in with your MTN number.
  1. Go to Bundles / Plans.
  1. Look for Night Plan / Nightlife / Midnight bundles.
  1. Pick the night bundle you want and pay with airtime or other available options.

Extra tips (so it doesn’t “waste”)

  • Use it only during the valid hours (e.g. 11 pm/12 am – 4 or 6 am) or it won’t browse.
  • Turn off auto‑updates, cloud backup, and background downloads , so your small night bundle doesn’t vanish in minutes.
  • If a code fails or the menu looks different, MTN may have updated things; check the *406# menu first or look in the MyMTN app, as those are kept most up to date.
