MyMTN Home Uncapped

[Karim786]

Recently MTN launched MyMTN Home Uncapped. I've read a post stating that the sim only deal is month to month, however when I go onto their site, the sim only deal also shows that it's a 24 month contract. I need confirmation ASAP because I'm tired of RAIN!

As we already had a ZTE MC801A 5G router in the office, we decided a month-to-month SIM-only offer would be our best option.


Unfortunately, this offer was not available online (like contracts), and we had to visit an MTN store to get the SIM.

MTN’s new uncapped data package rocks — once you get it working

We tested MTN’s new R499 uncapped mobile data package and it was great — once we got it working.

Wow thanks, I guess I have to apply in store for the month to month deal.

And a CAT6 router.

Thanks, I have a Huawei B525. Think it's one of the recommended routers.

Anybody check if routing is all going through JHB or does it route depending on your location?

Routing would go through whichever RNC is closest, depends on your area.

With his Fixed LTE Package, do you have to put Up Antenna's ?

It's not necessary, but antennas do help in most situations unless the tower is really close.

Correct as most external antennas does not support mimo 4x4 which really improve speeds!

Sim only? Or can you do month to month and then return the router when you cancel?

SIM only

I have tried to get the uncapped deal.. Sim only at mtn store and was told even though its month to month its still handled like a contract and you still have to go through credit checks.. I asked why is it then so easy to get connected on rain with month to month data plans.. Their response was they not Rain.. So why do they want to take on Rain when Mtn is making it very hard to acess the month to month pakages and handling it like contracts.. It just doesn't make sense to me

Seems like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, they really should update their website in that case. It kinda defeats the purpose of using month to month, it is rather daft in that case, considering that you pay them a month in advance, if you don't pay they don't provision you nor can they charge you for it.

Compare this (per the article) ....

it comes with a 400GB fair use policy that throttles the speed down to 2Mbps.

..... to Axxess.

Axxess have the same FUP, are month - month without all the fuss (in theory, anyway).

They charge R50 more but it's up to 100 Mbps.
