MTN SME Data vs Corporate Gifting: What's the Difference?

Confused by the different labels on Nigerian data portals? Here is an authoritative guide on MTN SME, Corporate Gifting (CG), and Direct Gifting data.

1. MTN SME Data

MTN SME (Small and Medium Enterprise) data is allocated through MTN's dedicated small business sharing service. It is designed for businesses to distribute data among staff members. Because it is purchased in terabyte wholesale bulks, it offers the lowest price per gigabyte in Nigeria and comes with 30-day validity.

2. MTN Corporate Gifting (CG)

Corporate Gifting is an enterprise cloud allocation channel where corporate organizations gift data to remote staff or clients. It has higher server availability during peak hours when SME servers occasionally undergo telco maintenance.
