During the month of love and in commemoration of Saint Valentine's Day, MTN South Africa is offering all its customers a reason to celebrate being connected to the Ayoba network.

MTN is running a MyValentine's MMS promotion from 12 February to 16 February 2011, which offers all MTN customers a discount of 50% on MMS rates. In plain terms, this means MTN customers will be able to send as many MMSes as they like for only 45c per MMS during the promotional period.

“MTN loves its customers so much that we are giving them a 50% discount on MMS rates from 12 to 16 February. We encourage all our customers with MMS capable phones to share their love using this medium, whether they want to share a photo or a video with someone special this Valentine's,” says Mapula Bodibe, General Manager: Consumer Marketing at MTN South Africa.

This promotion is only applicable to standard MMS rates and for MMS sent to local cellphone numbers. All MTN customers, whether on PayAsYouGo, TopUp or contract, will benefit from this promotion. Bulk MMS users, premium-rated MMS and international MMS are excluded from this promotion.
