Staying active on WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, and YouTube should never drain your wallet. At Yas Tanzania, formerly Tigo, we have built a tiered range of affordable data bundles that power every social app on the fastest 3G, 4G, and 5G network in the country. This guide breaks down exactly which Yas bundle fits your social media habits, how much each costs, how long it lasts, and how to subscribe in seconds — so you always pay the right price for the way you actually scroll, stream, and chat.
Social media is the single biggest reason most Tanzanians buy data. The trick to spending less is matching the bundle to your real usage instead of repeatedly topping up small amounts. Our mobile data plans are structured into Daily, Weekly, and Monthly tiers, so light chatters and heavy streamers alike get value. Every bundle works across all apps — there is no need to juggle separate WhatsApp-only or Instagram-only packs — which keeps things simple and cheaper in the long run.
All bundles are activated with a single shortcode: dial *147*00# and follow the menu. Payment can be drawn straight from your airtime or your Mixx by Yas wallet, making top-ups instant whether you are at home or on the move.
Daily bundles are ideal for occasional users, travellers, and anyone who wants to stay connected without committing to a longer plan. They are valid for 24 hours and run on our full 3G/4G/5G network everywhere in Tanzania.
| Daily Bundle | Price | Data | Validity |
| Data Pack 246 MB | 500 TZS | 246 MB | 24 hours |
| Data Pack 492 MB | 1,000 TZS | 492 MB | 24 hours |
The 246 MB pack at 500 TZS comfortably covers a day of WhatsApp messaging, voice notes, and light social browsing. If you also dip into Instagram Reels or TikTok, the 492 MB pack at 1,000 TZS gives you the extra headroom for short video bursts without buffering.
Weekly bundles hit the sweet spot for steady, everyday social users. Valid for seven days, they remove the friction of subscribing every morning and lower your effective daily cost.
| Weekly Bundle | Price | Data | Validity |
| Data Pack 985 MB | 2,000 TZS | 985 MB | 7 days |
| Data Pack 1 GB | 2,100 TZS | 1 GB | 7 days |
| Data Pack 1.4 GB | 3,000 TZS | 1.4 GB | 7 days |
For a week of chatting, posting, and moderate scrolling, the 985 MB or 1 GB packs are the most economical, working out to under 300 TZS a day. Frequent Reels, Status, and Stories viewers should step up to the 1.4 GB pack at 3,000 TZS, which absorbs the heavier appetite of video-first feeds across the week.
Monthly bundles deliver the lowest cost per megabyte and are built for power users who live on social media or rely on it for work. Each is valid for 30 days on our 3G/4G/5G network nationwide.
| Monthly Bundle | Price | Data | Validity |
| Data Pack 4.8 GB | 10,000 TZS | 4.8 GB | 30 days |
| Data Pack 9.6 GB | 20,000 TZS | 9.6 GB | 30 days |
| Data Pack 16.8 GB | 35,000 TZS | 16.8 GB | 30 days |
The 4.8 GB pack suits a consistent monthly social routine of messaging, browsing, and occasional video. The 9.6 GB pack is our recommendation for daily TikTok and Instagram users, while the 16.8 GB pack at 35,000 TZS is the best value for content creators, heavy streamers, and anyone running multiple platforms all month.
Activating any bundle takes under a minute:
You can check your remaining balance at any time and manage subscriptions through the same menu. If you ever need help selecting or troubleshooting a bundle, our customer support team is ready to assist.
A few simple habits make even the cheapest bundle last longer. Enable data-saver mode inside WhatsApp, Instagram, and TikTok to reduce auto-play and media auto-download. Disable autoplay for videos on Facebook and X so feeds only load what you choose to watch. Download playlists and content over Wi-Fi where available, and lower video streaming quality to 480p when you are on a tighter bundle. These small adjustments can comfortably double the social mileage you get from each pack.
It is also worth noting that all SIMs in Tanzania must be properly registered to stay active, in line with rules set by the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority. Keeping your line fully registered ensures your bundles activate without interruption.
Affordable social media on Yas comes down to one principle: choose the tier that matches how you really use your apps. Light chatters thrive on Daily and Weekly packs from as little as 500 TZS, steady scrollers get the best balance from the 1 GB and 1.4 GB weekly options, and heavy streamers and creators save the most with the 9.6 GB and 16.8 GB monthly bundles. Whichever you pick, you are running on the best and fastest network in Tanzania — just dial *147*00#, confirm, and stay connected to everything that matters.
Bundle prices, data allowances, and validity periods are subject to change. Always confirm current offers by dialling *147*00#.
