Through the partnership, both new and existing AirtelTigo customers will automatically receive free 50MB data every day to access latest local and global news anytime.

Opera Mini and Opera News App works on all Android mobile phones and AirtelTigo customers are encouraged to download Opera Mini and Opera News App from the Google Play store to enjoy the free data and browsing.

Both mobile applications incorporate the unique data compression technology of Opera, capable of pre-processing and reducing the amount of data from a website before it reaches the users’ phones, saving up to 90 percent of mobile data. The free daily data cover browsing only on Opera News and Opera Mini and does not include video streaming or downloading files from the internet.
