Massive MTN price hikes
MTN is making changes to its contract tariffs and package structures from 1 August 2016.
“MTN has revised its current pricing and package structures to ensure that it remains relevant and competitive,” it said.
The revisions are significant hikes in tariffs and massive decreases in value across many of MTN’s contract packages.
This is the second time in as many years that MTN will implement sweeping changes to its contract packages.
Last year it hiked the monthly fees for subscribers mid-contract, which MTN said is not what is happening this year.
“Importantly, your subscription will remain unchanged,” said MTN.
From 1 August, this is how the packages of MTN contract subscribers will change.
