How to buy data on mtn
Without data, one can still access the internet and browse the web. With MTN Pay as You Go, you can browse using your available airtime at a rate of 5 kobo per kilobyte. Considering that for 1 MB of data, which is approximately 1024 kilobytes, you would have used above N50 for browsing. It is considered cheaper to surf the web using a data plan, and MTN offers a whole different package of data plans to choose from. So here, we will be looking at the code you can use to buy any data plan on MTN, how you can buy data on MTN online and how you can also buy data on MTN from your bank account.
Data on MTN are grouped into 9 different categories based on the duration. There are;
- Daily plans
- 2-day plans
- 3-day plans
- Weekly plans
- Monthly plans
- 2-month plans
- 3-month plans
- 6-month plans
- Yearly plans.
And it does not end there. MTN also offers night plans and weekend plans for more flexibility and more data volume.
Each of the data packages can be done one-off or can be set to auto-renew upon exhaustion. That way, there will be non-stop browsing so long as the amount for the plan is available.
MTN is not just popular but also fast for browsing. With their available 4G LTE network band, one can get up to 25Mbps speed on a good day with the right device.
