Airtel Nigeria USSD Code
Airtel Nigeria has changed hands more times than any other network here: launched in 2001 as Econet (Nigeria's first commercial GSM service), it passed through Vodacom, Vee Networks/Vmobile, and Celtel before Zain rebranded it in 2008, then India's Bharti Airtel bought Zain's African operations in 2010 for $10.7 billion, one of India's largest-ever overseas acquisitions.
