In response to its growing customer needs, MTN has introduced competitive laptop deals that will be available throughout its extensive footprint of branded stores throughout the country.

These deals will enable consumers to do business with ease, using MTN's world-class seamless network.

Customers can get a comprehensive package, such as an Acer Aspire D255 Netbook with 75MB for R189 per month, a F@stlink E367 modem, a laptop bag and a free SIM and connection.

Another all-inclusive deal is a R429 package that includes a Dell Vostro Notebook loaded with Microsoft Office Home and Student software, 500MB Internet bundle, a F@stlink E367 modem, a laptop bag and free SIM and connection.

Says Serame Taukobong, MTN South Chief Marketing Officer: “These offers re-affirm MTN's commitment to giving its customer value. Internet penetration in South Africa remains relatively low, although the uptake has been increasing steadily with the surge of feature and smartphones. We are certain that the value we are giving our customers will increase Internet usage, and provide our customers with enhanced experience as they open a window into the world and navigate seamlessly on MTN's world-class network.”

Having invested expertise over the past years on its network, MTN is confident that it has built the infrastructure that will seamlessly host the data traffic.

Eleanor Mitrovich, GM, Branded Channels: MTN South Africa, says the attractive laptop deals will offer small and medium-sized businesses with the opportunity to become more efficient, thereby improving productivity and growing their business.

“Families will also benefit immensely by taking advantage of these deals, from a father doing online banking, to a mother logging on to the Internet to assist children researching school projects,” says Mitrovich.

She concludes: “Armed with experience and technical knowledge, MTN employees working at our extensive network of branded stores are ready to service our customers and provide them with a world-class experience. These offers only represent a range of attractive offers MTN has in store, which are only an MTN store away.”
