Earlier this year MTN acquired Visafone for an undisclosed amount, from then on; it was obvious that it won’t take long before we saw Africa’s largest telecommunication network launching a 4G service here in Nigeria. MTN is acting as expected and the company has announced through there Twitter page that they will be launching a 4G service come July. As good as this news is, it’s not as good as MTN’s accompanying Tweet that stated that they have slashed their data prices across the different Data plans the ‘Yellow! Company offers. This is a very welcome news and I believe you share the same opinion.
Here are the new data prices
| Plan | Old Plan | Old Price | New Price | Activation Code |
| 50MB | 50MB | N200 | N100 | text 104 to 131 |
| 750MB | 750MB | N2000 | N500 | text 103 to 131 |
| 1.3GB | 260MB | N1000 | N1000 | text 106 to 131 |
| 3.75GB | 750MB | N2000 | N2000 | text 110 to 131 |
MTN’s upcoming 4G network launch forebodes a future where data will be cheaper than it is, as a result of the competition in the space already heating up; we have Smile, Spectranet, Swift, Ntel, Glo and the rest offering 4G service already.
Let us hope, MTN will serve up affordable data and quality service together. Before now, we’ve seen network providers that slash their data prices, consequently quality of service is reduced. Furthermore, we may see other network providers respond to MTN’s price slash with a price slash as well; perhaps Etisalat this time around.
Still expensive and run fast
I gree use MTN?
Yeah it Mtn . But stop using it
Yes it is expensive and i think their selling point is the speed they have
But why did you stop using it, i know they can be a thief
that is not a significant decrease na, seriously MTN
But why did you stop using it, i know they can be a thief
Is just too expensive jare
I think this is a.nice development from.Mtn
I think this will draw some other customers
I think everybody needs to get an Mtn SIM from now
other telecommunications companies include airtel and etisalat
GLO is a very poor telecommunications company
I think we can all agree that Mtn is the best here
