MTN SA has announced an aggressive reduction on its Internet price plans and bundle rates on the MTN network.
“The digital age continues to create real opportunities for consumers to connect, interact and simplify their lives directly from their handheld devices,” says Serame Taukobong, chief marketing officer at MTN SA.
“Having invested heavily on our infrastructure to provide a network that can efficiently meet the demands of the digital consumer, we have significantly reduced our Internet price plans and bundle rates to enable our customers to experience world-class Internet connectivity.
“A customer can now pay R79 for the MTN 1Gb package which, has been reduced from R289 (with a device) per month. A SIM-only contract without a device is even more affordable at R69 per month or 5 cents per megabyte for those customers looking to upgrade with their own device,” he adds.
With the new prepaid Internet bundle rates, MTN customers will enjoy the following benefits:
* Prepaid customers will receive 10Mb free when they purchase a 10Mb Internet bundle for R10;
* Customers will enjoy a further 25Mb of Internet connectivity free of charge when they purchase a 75Mb Internet bundle for R29, reduced by R20 from the previous R49 rate;
* The 300Mb Internet bundle has been reduced by R70 and will now cost MTN customers R79 to load;
* The 500Mb Internet bundle has also been cut by R70 and now costs R119 to purchase;
* MTN’s 1Gb Internet bundle has been reduced by R140 and will now sell for R149; and
* The 2Gb Internet bundle has been cut by R144 and can now be bought for R245.
MTN’s contract customers will also benefit from the operator’s reduction of Internet connectivity price plans. As of 1 March:
* MTN customers will pay R49 for 500Mb on a monthly basis;
* The 1Gb price plan has been reduced from R99 to R79 per month;
* The 1Gb TopUp plan will cost R99, reduced from R129 every month;
* The 2Gb plan has been cut from R139 to R119 each month; and
* The 2Gb TopUp plan is no longer R189 and sells for R149 monthly.
“Our intention is to deliver a world-class Internet experience as well as quality services and products that meet the needs of our customers. Our contract customers are looking for a differentiated quality experience through lifestyle and value-based products and services,” says Taukobong.
