Prepaid customers on MTN’s network have six Pay-As-You-Go price plans from which to choose, with each offering different benefits and rates.<\/p>\n

MyBroadband compared MTN’s prepaid price plans to determine which are best for data-centric and voice-centric customers.<\/p>\n

Bonus Bonanza is the default prepaid tariff plan, with the mobile operator automatically putting new prepaid SIM customers on this option.<\/p>\n

It, together with the Super Data plan, offers the lowest data rate of the mobile operator’s six plans, at R0.25 per megabyte. Voice calls and SMSs on the Bonus Bonanza plan are charged at R1.50 per minute and R0.25 per SMS.<\/p>\n

The low data rate offered with the Bonus Bonanza and Super Data plans will likely make these the most attractive plans to data-centric customers.<\/p>\n

The Super Data plan’s rates for voice minutes and SMSs are R1.99 per minute and R0.50 per message.<\/p>\n

Bonus Bonanza also provides bonus airtime equal to the customer’s recharge amount, provided they spend at least R5 on airtime. Bonus airtime is valid for 24 hours.<\/p>\n

However, the bonus airtime carries higher voice, data, and SMS rates at R2.50 per minute, R1.00 per megabyte, and R0.50 per SMS.<\/p>\n

MTN also offers a Bundle Bonanza plan, which carries voice, data, and SMS rates of R1.20 per minute, R0.49 per megabyte, and R0.50 per SMS.<\/p>\n

It offers bonus social data and night minutes for recharges of R10 and above.<\/p>\n

MTN says its Pay Per Second plan is ideal for those who want control of their spending with a fixed rate. Calls are charged at R0.99 per minute.<\/p>\n

The plan’s data rate is R0.29 per megabyte, while SMSes are charged at R0.50 per message. MTN’s prepaid price plan rates are compared in the table below.<\/p>\n
