MTN vs AirtelTigo vs Telecel: Which Data Is Cheapest in Ghana?
A straight comparison of MTN, AirtelTigo (AT) and Telecel data in Ghana — price per gigabyte, coverage and which network to pick for what.
Updated 10 September 2026
Everyone has an opinion on which network gives the best data. The honest answer depends on the bundle size you buy and where you use it. Here is the comparison without the noise.
Compare price per gigabyte, not price
A GHS 10 bundle is not cheap if it only gives you 1 GB. Divide the price by the gigabytes and compare that number instead. The live tables below do the work for you.

| 1 GB | unlimited | GH₵6.10 |

MTN has the widest coverage in Ghana, including most rural areas, and the fastest network in most cities. You usually pay a small premium for that reach.

|---|---|---|
| 1 GB | Unlimited | GH₵6.20 |
| 2 GB | unlimited | GH₵11.00 |
| 3 GB | unlimited | GH₵16.00 |
| 4 GB | unlimited | GH₵21.00 |

| 15 GB | unlimited | GH₵72.00 |
| 20 GB | unlimited | GH₵90.00 |
| 25 GB | unlimited | GH₵110.00 |
AT is often the best value per gigabyte on mid-size bundles. Coverage is strong in the cities and along the main corridors, weaker in remote areas.
Telecel (formerly Vodafone) data prices
| Bundle | Validity | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 10 GB | unlimited | GH₵43.00 |
| 15 GB | unlimited | GH₵61.00 |
| 20 GB | unlimited | GH₵81.00 |
| 25 GB | unlimited | GH₵102.00 |
| 30 GB | unlimited | GH₵120.00 |
| 35 GB | Unlimited | GH₵138.00 |
| 40 GB | unlimited | GH₵156.00 |
| 45 GB | unlimited | GH₵174.00 |
| 50 GB | Unlimited | GH₵192.00 |
| 100 GB | unlimited | GH₵420.00 |
Telecel is the choice for many home and office users, and the SIMs, numbers and short codes did not change when Vodafone rebranded.
Which should you choose?
- Travelling around the country or living outside a city: MTN, for coverage.
- Heavy browsing in a city on a budget: AirtelTigo, for the price per gigabyte.
- Steady home or office use: Telecel.
- Reselling to customers: all three, because your customers are already spread across the networks.
The cheapest option overall
Whichever network you pick, buying at reseller rates is cheaper than buying at retail. Compare the current prices for all three networks before your next purchase.
