MTN's reduced mobile Internet bundle rates are now permanent! The company announced this as one of its efforts to provide customers with an affordable means to experience the digital world.

"The Internet bundle rate reduction has proven to be extremely successful with customers, addressing their need to be connected at all times, with the rise of Internet data consumption requirements. We at first extended the data offerings promotion to our customers, but have now decided to make it permanent to provide our customers a bold, new digital world," says Brian Gouldie, Chief Marketing Officer at MTN SA.

MTN is providing customers with added value through affordable Internet rates for customers' various Internet usage needs, be it 20MB or 2GB.

These low subscription rates are now here to stay:

a. 20BM @R10, was R10 for 10MB

b. 100MB @R29, was R49 for 75MB

c. 300MB @R79, was R149

d. 500MB @99, was R189

e. 1GB @R149, was R289

f. 2GB @R249, was R389

"Making these Internet bundles permanent at very affordable rates ensures that we not only continue to deliver a world-class Internet experience to our customers and assist in bridging the digital divide, but also address the important issue of bridging the digital divide," says Gouldie.

MTN gives extra data during tough times

And since it's the holiday season, MTN is also giving customers extra free data on every Internet bundle purchased. MTN subscribers will, for example, receive a 1GB extra for buying a 2GB Internet bundle. This limited Summer Internet Bundle Giveback promotion is already available and runs until 31 January 2014.

"This is one of the more reasons to switch the lanes and join MTN's world-class network. The Summer Internet Bundle Giveback will make it easy for customers to share great summer vacation moments, take and send photos, share favourite videos or other files with family and friends," concludes Gouldie.

To load an MTN bundle, customers can simply dial *141*2# or download the myMTNza App from their app store. In addition to the promotion, customers can continue to take advantage of MTN's existing big data sale, which offers reduced prices and additional value.
