MTN Nigeria offers cheap data services to it's various categories of users. There are the light browsers who just goes online to do some little checking; most of the time just fiddling with social media. These set of users need light data at a transparent cost.
There are also the heavy data users who deal with downloads and other heavy data usages. They need a fair amount of data for these purposes.
All of these set of customers are really important to the telcos. Nigeria's largest telecom company, MTN Nigeria had always tried to breach this gap by providing fair data at a fair price to all levels of customers.
Trying to keep pace with
Glo's extra cheap data bundles, MTN did effect some improvements on it's own bundles; they are alway in competition to stay top, keeping Glo at bay.
MTN is a South Africa-based multinational mobile telecommunications company which first entered the Nigerian market in 2001. Its head office is in Johannesburg.
The firm has recently been at loggerheads with the Nigerian government and the CBN. It was fined for improper registration of users and recently queried over the way they scooped their profits back to South Africa.
Despite all these turmoils, we've been enjoying the MTN network for it's speed, accessibility and efficiency. To put up a fair review, using MTN to browse is very efficient and fair. It's data plans are tabulated below:
