MTN has announced a new free airtime incentive for its prepaid and Top Up customers from now, up until Monday, 30 June 2014. The deal will afford all MTN customers who use a minimum of R6 per day on either their voice calls or web browsing, with the reward of an additional R60 on-net airtime within the next seven days.

The free airtime can be used on local MTN-to-MTN calls, as well as for web browsing. Interested MTN Prepaid and Top Up customers will need to opt-in for this promotion by dialling *130*500#. Once completed, this usage reward will be given only once a day and will be valid for that day only.

It is however important to note the depletion of set R60 worth of airtime is solely dependent on an MTN customer's price plan, and will affect the rate of consumption between customers on different plans. Furthermore, the offer does extend to SMS and MMS messages between service prodiders.   

According to MTN South Africa's chief marketing officer, Larry Annetts, the service provider believes that "this is another exciting way we are giving back to our customers". Adding "As a result, through this promotion, (MTN) are giving back the equivalent of 1000 percent airtime to the customer".
