Airtel Kenya Data Plans 2026: Daily, Weekly and Monthly Bundle Prices

Updated 30 October 2026

Quick answer: Airtel Kenya’s main data plans are the Amazing Data Bundles, which run from KSh 10 for 70MB a day to KSh 2,000 for 55GB a month, and the all-in-one Smarta bundles (data, minutes and SMS) from KSh 300 a week. You buy any of them by dialling *544# or in the My Airtel app, and you check your balance on *544*3#. Browsing without a bundle costs KSh 0.4 per MB from your airtime.

All prices below come from Airtel Kenya’s own product pages and terms and conditions, read on 25 October 2026. The current Amazing portfolio took effect at midnight on 22 July 2026, when Airtel cut some daily and weekly allocations and raised its monthly ones. Airtel can change bundles at any time, so confirm the price on *544# before you pay.

Airtel Amazing Data Bundles 2026

Airtel says the Amazing bundles are open to all its prepaid customers. Bundles marked with WhatsApp include free WhatsApp, capped at 50MB a day.

Daily bundles

Weekly bundles (7 days)

Monthly bundles (30 days)

Hourly bundles

Airtel also lists one-hour bundles at KSh 15: 250MB between 4pm and 10:59pm, or 1,024MB (1GB) between 11pm and 3:59pm.

Which Airtel Data Bundle Is Best Value?

Working from Airtel’s published prices, the cost per gigabyte falls sharply as the bundle gets bigger:

• KSh 2,000 for 55GB works out to about KSh 36 per GB over a month.
• KSh 1,000 for 25GB is KSh 40 per GB.
• KSh 500 for 12GB over a week is about KSh 42 per GB, but you have only seven days to use it.
• KSh 99 for 2.4GB is about KSh 41 per GB, but expires after 24 hours.
• KSh 10 for 70MB is about KSh 146 per GB, the most expensive way to buy data.

If you browse daily but lightly, the KSh 500 monthly bundle (8GB) usually beats buying several small daily bundles. Heavy users who stream or work online get the lowest unit price from the KSh 2,000 monthly bundle.

Airtel Smarta Bundles: Data, Minutes and SMS

Smarta packs combine data with calls and texts. Airtel’s Smarta page lists:

Smarta can be bought on *544#, *334# or the My Airtel app, paid with airtime or mobile money. Data, all-net minutes and SMS are given upfront; weekly on-net minutes reset at midnight each day. If you buy the same Smarta bundle within 24 hours of expiry, unused data, minutes and SMS roll over.

UnlimiNET Daily Bundles

UnlimiNET packs add free WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter up to 100MB a day:

• UnlimiNET 20: KSh 20 for 100MB, 10 minutes and 20 SMS, valid one day.
• UnlimiNET 50: KSh 50 for 200MB, 25 minutes and 100 SMS, valid one day.
• UnlimiNET 100: KSh 100 for 400MB, 60 minutes and 500 SMS, valid one day.

Kopa Data: Borrow a Bundle and Pay Later

If you run out of data and airtime, Kopa Internet on *544# lets you borrow a bundle and repay it on your next top-up, with a 10% service fee:

Free Data: GB kwa GB for New Smartphone Users

New Airtel prepaid customers who join with a smartphone, and existing customers who upgrade from a feature phone, get 1GB free each week for six months under GB kwa GB. Each 1GB lasts three days and renews when you top up KSh 50 or more within seven days (smaller top-ups that add up to KSh 50 count). Check whether you qualify on *544*8#.

How to Buy, Gift and Check Airtel Data

1. Buy: dial *544#, choose the bundle type and the bundle, then pick one-time or auto-renew. You can also buy in the My Airtel app.
2. Gift: Airtel says Amazing bundles can be bought for another Airtel number through *544# or the app.
3. Check balance: dial *544*3# or open the My Airtel app.
4. Extend: buying an Amazing weekly or monthly bundle before expiry extends the other and rolls over unused data. Daily bundles extend only when you buy the same daily bundle.
