MTN launches new month-to-month packages with 20GB for R1 per month offer
MTN has launched Pi, a new suite of mobile and Home Internet month-to-month products that customers can manage from a dedicated app.
The mobile network operator is offering a special three-month launch promotion where new customers can get up to 20GB of data per month for R1.
Customers signing up for its new MTN Pi home broadband products can also get unthrottled speeds for the first three months on cheaper packages.
The product suite is aimed at households, allowing the family administrator to manage mobile services and the Home Internet package from a single location.
The MTN Pi app lets administrators manage up to 10 mobile numbers under one account, including individual data allowances.
To sign up for the mobile service, customers create an account on the MTN Pi website or app, choose a plan, set up their profile, add a payment method, and undergo a RICA process.
Customers can keep their existing number or get a new one. MTN Pi’s mobile service uses eSIM, whereas the Home Internet packages require a physical SIM.
Mobile package prices range from R99 for 5GB to R399 for 80GB. Subscribers can add a voice minute bundle ranging from R79 for 300 minutes to R199 for 2,000 minutes.
MTN Pi’s mobile services are reminiscent of the operator’s MyMTN Choice packages, which are also data-focused products that allow customers to bolt on voice and SMS bundles.
For its home broadband packages, MTN Pi offers products ranging from R399 per month for 200GB at a maximum speed of 25Mbps, to R699 for 1TB at best-effort 5G speeds.
MTN said that Pi customers will receive family discounts, with up to 20% off when you add multiple mobile or Home Internet lines for their families.
The Home Internet package is not locked to a specific location. For example, subscribers can take their router if they go on holiday and use their connection anywhere MTN has coverage.
In addition to specials on Pi packages, MTN is offering promotional prices on selected 5G routers, including the ZTE G5TS 5G Router from R499 and the Huawei 5G CPE from R999.
MTN Pi offers an alternative to the mobile operator’s SuperFlex suite of month-to-month products that offer customers unlimited calling and SMS with a monthly data allocation.
“Pi combines the agility of a digital-first service with the scale and reliability of MTN’s network,” said Ernst Fonternel, Chief Consumer Officer: Postpaid and Home, at MTN South Africa.
“It allows customers to enjoy a simple, flexible connectivity experience while benefiting from the coverage and performance of one of the country’s most trusted networks.”
