Airtel Tanzania Free Internet at Midnight

Airtel Tanzania has yet again introduced its free midnight internet service, as they continue promoting their network with great speed and gaining customer trust with giving away free internet at midnight.

If you are an Airtel subscriber you should be enjoying free internet now at full speed as Airtel Tanzania has even upgraded their network to 3.75G!Which is the latest generation of 3G technology.

When Airtel Tanzania launched this service way back! It was limited to 400mb bandwidth but now they indeed only provide you with 200mb of bandwidth, so you should be able to surf for lite use only! But still is a great deal, as its completely free at midnight.

We expect more competition and response from fellow mobile operators here in Tanzania to introduce more services too, so expect more soon.
