Connect to the world through MTN

Whether you use the Internet to surf for business or school projects, cars or travel bookings, or send and receive emails, download videos and music or stay in contact with friends and family trough Instant Messaging, MTN can offer you a data connection that is ideally suited to your needs. Now MTN offers the Mobile USB Modem so it doesn’t matter whether you have a laptop or desktop computer, you can connect to the Internet and send SMS messages through an MTN data connection.

By using MTN Data, customers are guaranteed high data transmission speeds through a network of 3.5G, 3G and GPRS technologies. Through the seamless integration of these technologies, you will always be connected at the fastest available speed depending on the network capabilities in your area.
MTN offers variety of price plans for data connection in order to suit your needs in the best possible way

For the casual uses of the internet MTN offers a usage based plan where you will be charged only € 0.008/ £0.005 per 2kb (€ 4.12 / £2.42 per MB).

The high data users can select the MTN Mobile Broadband 5GB, which is a flat rate data bundle that allows you to browse and download information and emails freely up to 5GB without worrying about varying costs. You can use either 3.5G, 3G and GPRS , depending on your device and the coverage available. The cost is a single flat rate monthly fee, irrespective of your monthly service plan.

You can select the MTN Mobile Broadband 5GB bundle on a month by month basis (by completing a modification form at an MTN shop) or can commit to a longer period of 12/24 months and benefit from a discounted price of the Mobile USB Modem – see below for more details:

How does it work?

WAP over GPRS This stands for General Packet Radio Service. It keeps you permanently connected to the Internet but only charges you when your phone is sending or receiving data, which means that thinking and reading time is free. It's also fast - GPRS works at similar speeds to a dial-up modem on your home PC.
HTTP over GPRS Handsets with an inbuilt internet browser can also use a GPRS connection to browse the internet.
