MTN 4G Data Plans Unveiled. Here is All You Need to Know
MTN 4G data plans have been much anticipated from Nigeria’s largest telecoms operator and now, the wait is finally over. MTN in fulfillment of its promise to make 4G services accessible to all Nigerians has unveiled its 4G packages to be rolled out on Visafone network.
This is coming after MTN Nigeria 4G LTE internet technology service for smartphone users went through a test drive through its subsidiary, Visaphon.
With a 4G-enabled device and an MTN 4G SIM card, any subscriber can enjoy MTN 4G service in every regional capital and in many towns across the country where MTN 4G network is available.
Unlike other providers of 4G services – ntel, Smile, and Spectranet, MTN’s 4G services will become accessible nationwide although the higher prices when compared to the network’s current mobile data plans, may make adoption to be slow.
Rubiztech gathered that the major requirement to access the service is the possession of a 4G-enabled device. When this is done, a user can then dial *444# to choose a preferred 4G plan.
There are 3 broad packages – Prepaid plans, Blackberry plans, and data bundles.
A cross section of Nigerians that are aware of the service offering said the packages are too expensive. Furthermore, they said it would be stressful to obtain 4G SIM cards and purchase 4G smartphones especially when the service is not comparatively cheaper to use. They also claim that NTel has cheaper plans for users of 4G devices.
