Subscribers can also rent new movies from R15 a film on MTN FrontRow Premiere. Some of the latest releases include How to Train Your Dragon 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy.

MTN is currently offering a launch special at R179 a month for an “all you can watch” service, or R399 a month with 10GB of streaming data.

The promotional rates will apply for three months, after which it reverts to the standard rate of R199 a month for access without a data bundle and R499 for the option that includes the 10GB data bundle.
