MTN, and Disney+, the streaming service from The Walt Disney Company, have joined forces to launch a Mobile Plan for Disney+ in South Africa.  

MTN offers a 500 MB streaming bundle to its customers who sign up for a Disney+ Mobile Plan at a cost of R49 per month, paying via their airtime or adding it to their bill. Add R10 more and you receive the Disney+ Mobile Pass that includes 2 GB of streaming data for R59 per month, which would be the more sensible plan in terms of data. Plans are in development for further Disney+ offers for MTN customers.  

The Disney+ Mobile Plan with MTN will offer viewers the same access to Disney+’s catalogue of content from the likes of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, as well as general entertainment from Star. Using mobile phones and tablets, subscribers will have access to features such as SD data-saver streaming, as well as including the feature for parents to set kids profiles to access age-appropriate content. Streaming is, however, limited to one device. 

Jason Probert, MTN SA General Manager for Digital Services said: “We are proud to enter into this agreement with Disney+ as we collaborate to offer South Africans world class entertainment on the go. By streaming Disney+ on South Africa's top mobile network, we will offer our customers the ultimate experience in enjoying their favourite series and movies, both old and new. Offering Disney+ Mobile presents great opportunities for the future, and we look forward to pursuing many additional features for our customers.” 

Entertainment on offer includes newly released films and series, such as Marvel Studios’ “Secret Invasion” starring Samuel L. Jackson, the box office hit “Avatar: The Way of Water”, the Disney+ Original anthology series “Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire”, as well as the hit original comedy series “Only Murders in the Building”, with “The Kardashians”, “The Simpsons” and back seasons of “Grey’s Anatomy”, “9-1-1” and “Black-ish”.
