Much like Vodacom before it, MTN is also introducing revised subscription rates for its contract and data plans and reviewing its prepaid data bundle prices. 

The reduction in mobile termination rates, coupled with the increased costs of network investment, has necessitated a review of pricing, according to MTN. The cellular provider also mentions a “substantial” invest in generators and back-up batteries to power its base stations during power outages. All these cumulative costs have compelled the operator to review its pricing as its last resort.

In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act and MTN’s Subscriber Agreement terms and conditions, MTN will give its subscribers 20 working days’ notice prior to effecting the price changes for contract customers.

Below are the revised rates.
