This price increase doesn’t apply to Fiber Broadband and Fixed Wireless Access, that is, 4G router and turbonet customers.
Explaining the reason for the upward review of the Data Bundle prices, the Chief Commercial Officer for MTN, Mr. Noel Kojo-Ganson said, “the review was necessitated by the recent economic shifts leading to increasing cost of operations. These economic shifts have impacted us directly and for us to ensure we have the right balance, we have had to consider price increases in various segments of our business”.
Mr. Kojo-Ganson added, “MTN recognizes that we are in very tough times would like to assure our customers that we will continue to offer them the convenience and flexibility in the purchase of data bundles at their desired price point via the MTN Flexi and Non-expiry bundles. Also, customers will continue to enjoy the 50% bonus incentive on MyMTN app and MOMO which is valid for 7 days for 4G customers”.
MTN remains committed to investing USD1 billion by 2025 to customers to expand its network and improve experience for customers. In line with their ambition strategy, their purpose is to lead digital solutions for Africa’s progress. For more information on the revised prices for the data bundle offers, visit www.mtn.com.gh
