Following a major backlash from contract customers in August, MTN has made an announcement regarding its contract data prices, reining in the quiet hikes it implemented last month.<\/p>\n

Besides the price adjustments, data bundles on\u00a0My MTNChoice include\u00a0Night Express data, which is used up between midnight and 06:00.<\/p>\n

My MTNChoice also offers subscribers the ability to\u00a0manage their\u00a0monthly bill by setting spend limits, receiving real-time balance inquiries, and\u00a0letting customers recharge whenever they\u00a0need.<\/p>\n

Users can also set it up so that MTN sends them\u00a0an\u00a0SMS notification when they are close to reaching their\u00a0selected out-of-bundle spend value.<\/p>\n

The table below summarises the various price changes MTNChoice subscribers have seen over the last few weeks:<\/p>\n
