Asphalt · Posted on: January 09, 2021, 11:34:40 AM

Call or tariff plans are packages under which all telecom subscribers are domiciled, and the purpose of it is to offer a uniform outgoing call rate for subscribers of a particular package, while a differing rate is presented for other groups in such a way that each calling package is unique from each other. Additionally, there are package-distinctive discounts and bonuses to serve the diverse needs of differing personalities. All these add up to make tariff plans an important aspect in telecommunication.

Tariff packages aside dictating the rates by which local calls are made, occasionally defines international calling rates. This is possible due to the provision of IDD packs on some tariff plans. Meanwhile, some other discreet characteristics attached to tariff plans includes plan-based data offers, attached call and data clauses, et cetera.

It is the telecom service provider with the most reach among the popular four operators viz: Globacom; Airtel; MTN; 9mobile.

MTN BetaTalk

The BetaTalk tariff plan is one which gives to subscribers an encouraging 250% bonus on all recharge from N1 and above. This package was a popular one years back, but has been stripped of some benefits it did usually pack.

Local calls are charged at a rate of 36.00k/sec from the main account for the first minute call of the day and subsequent calls charged from the account. Calls charged from the bonus account are at a rate of 64k/sec, while data rate charged from the same account is at N15.36 per MB. The airtime bonus valids for only seven days.

To migrate to MTN BetaTalk, simply dial *123*2*1# or text BT to 131.

MTN XtraSpecial

The MTN XtraSpecial tariff package is one which offers a flat rate of 15.36k/sec for calls to all networks in Nigeria and select international locations.

This tariff package has no airtime bonus to offer subscribers, neither has it any data bonus. Probably the cheap call rates which it packs stands in such stead.

The select international destinations which are covered under the reduced 15k/s call charge includes:

1. Canada
2. China
3. Denmark
4. Norway
5. India
6. Ireland
7. Malaysia
8. Romania
9. Singapore
10. South Korea
11. United Kingdom
12. United States

XtraSpecial subscribers also stand to enjoy some special data bundles which are:

» 6GB monthly data bundle at N2000
» 1.5GB 14-day data bundle at N750
» 10MB Data Bonus on First recharge of the month
» 3.75GB monthly data bundle at N1500

Subscribers opting for the XtraSpecial tariff plan need to choose between the postpaid and prepaid package.
As a prepaid subscriber, opting for a postpaid service from MTN demands you visit one of MTN's service centres with a valid international passport, driver’s license or national ID card; and one Passport Photograph.

Prepaid subscribers need to dial *408*1#, *123*2*4#, or send 408 to 131 to migrate to the plan.

MTN XtraValue

The XtraValue package offers subscribers the benefit of obtaining both airtime and data under one subscription. Subscribers to this package wouldn't need to get a separate top-up for calls and another for data subscription as both functions are well served on the subscribed pack.

The XtraValue bundles is usually valid through a comfortable 30 days period but falls short in the rate which calls are tariffed. Calls made through the XtraValue package is at a rate of N27 per sec.

XtraValue bundles are divided into two: the XtraTalk which gives more of airtime than data, and the XtraData which gives much of data than calling credit. To subscribe to XtraTalk bundles, dial *131*2*1#, while subscription to XtraData bundles is through *131*2*2#.

A successful subscription leads to an automatic migration to the XtraValue plan.

MTN Pulse

The Pulse tariff plan is obviously MTN's tariff package for data servings. This is the only MTN tariff plan from which any subscriber could subscribe to the popular midnight data plans, as well as some dedicated special plans. The special plans include:

» Data bonus of 10MB on first recharge of the month.
» 750MB 3-days data plan at ₦300
» 1.5GB Weekly data plan at ₦500
» 350MB IG & TikTok plan for ₦100
» 1GB IG & TikTok for ₦200
» 250MB Pulse Nightlife bundle for N25
» 500MB Pulse Nightlife bundle for N50.

A discreet clause is however placed on the plan's call rate. A subscriber could access the plan's much promoted calling flat rate of 11.26k/sec only after spending ₦15.36K daily. The initial ₦15.36K used for first calls of the day are levied at a rate of 25.6k/sec.

Yet again, this change have left much to be desired of the once popular Pulse package.

Subscription to the pulse package is by simply texting 406 to 131, or by dialing *406*1# or *123*2*2#.

MTN Trutalk

The MTN Trutalk is a call-centric package which allows for calls made to all networks at a rate of 11.26k/s. There's a clause though.

A rental fee of ₦7.17 is deducted upon initiating the first call of the day. And if the airtime balance is lesser than the required access fee necessary to initiate a call or you've been gifted a bonus airtime, calls are charged at a rate of 15.36kobo per second.

To opt into MTN Trutalk tariff plan, text ‘TT’ to 131 or dial *123*2*6#.

MTN mPulse

The mPulse plan is a package for kids of aged nine to fifteen. This tariff plan allows the kids an affordable access to the mPulse website which is loaded with resources of learning.

Among others, the benefits you get from the tariff package includes special discounted data bundles for mPulse website and a special birthday reward of N200 airtime.

National calls are at 15.36k/secs, while SMS are made at a rate of ₦4/message.

To subscribe to the plan, dial *344*1# or send ‘mPulse’ to 131.

Choosing a tariff plan that aligns to your needs makes for increased productivity. For instance, a student who makes more research on the internet would need to be subscribed to the Pulse package to enjoy the full data benefits of the MTN network. Conversely, one whose tasks revolves round making lengthy duration of calls would need to be subscribed to the BetaTalk or TruTalk package for a better and rewarding experience.
