Unlimited plans: Vodacom vs MTN vs Cell C vs Telkom Mobile

MTN South Africa has introduced its new MTN Sky products, offering consumers unlimited voice calls and unlimited SMS to all networks, as well as capped and uncapped data options.

MTN Sky is available to pre-paid and contract customers.

An MTN Sky contract offers subscribers unlimited calls, unlimited SMS and uncapped data for R1,699 per month on a 24-month contract.

The MTN Sky pre-paid product offers customers unlimited calls, unlimited SMS, and capped or uncapped data. The pre-paid MTN Sky range is available on the following bundles:

• MTN Sky Ultimate (Uncapped) at R1799 – includes unlimited calls, unlimited SMS, and uncapped data valid for 30 days.
