MTN Nigeria has launched new tariff plans: MTN Family and Friends Xpanded, MTN FunLink Reloaded and MTN Super Saver plan. To me, they are still expensive considering what other Networks in the country are offering now. In this post, I will brief you about the new plans.
UPDATE: MTN Nigeria has updated the plans.

===========================================================
MTN Family and Friends Xpanded
MTN Family and Friends Xpanded is a prepaid plan that allows you register up to 10 Family and Friends numbers and enjoy rates as low as 17 kobo per second on calls to your 8 MTN registered numbers and 20 kobo per second on calls to 2 other networks that you register as your Family and Friends ( one number on other network and one US or Canada number).
Enjoy 50 kobo per second for calls to MTN numbers and other networks not in your MTN Family and Friends list.
Make Happy Hour calls from 12.30am - 04.30am at 10 kobo per second to any MTN number. NO MORE FREE CALL...huh???...hmnnnn....
To join the MTN Family and Friends Xpanded plan, simply send a text with 407 to 131 or dial *407# from your phone.
MTN FunLink Reloaded
MTN FunLink Reloaded is a prepaid plan that allows you make calls to MTN numbers for as low as 17 kobo per second while you enjoy freebies such as 40 free SMS to MTN numbers and 3 MB of data every day. A daily access fee charge of N25 is charged on this plan. Read carefully at the breakdown below:
MTN 2MTN calls
MTN2Other calls
To join the MTN FunLink Reloaded plan, simply send a text with 406 to 131 or dial *406# from your phone.
MTN Super Saver plan
If you are on the MTN Super Saver plan, your MTN2MTN calls will be charged at 58 kobo per second for the first 1 minute. Calls extending beyond 1 minute to 4 minutes will be charged at 20 kobo per second while calls from 5 minutes and above will be charged at 17 kobo per second.
On the other hand, your MTN2Other calls will be charged at 58 kobo per second for the first 1 minute. Calls extending beyond 1 minute to 4 minutes will be charged at 30 kobo per second while calls from 5 minutes and above will be charged at 25 kobo per second.
You will also enjoy calls at 20 kobo per second to UK landline, China, US and Canada.
No access fees and no hidden charges on this plan and you can make Happy Hour calls from 12.30am - 04.30am at 10 kobo per second to any MTN number. NO Free Call on this plan too.
What are common to these plans?
SMS MTN – MTN: 5 Naira per SMS sent
SMS MTN – Other Networks in Nigeria: 10 Naira per SMS sent
SMS International: 15 Naira per SMS sent
MMS: 60 Naira per MMS sent
DATA: 5 Kobo per Kilobyte
Will I be charged if I change Plans?
Well, First change in 30 days: FREE but Next change within 30 days: NGN100.00
Conclusion
Looking carefully at the plans, you will see they are somehow complicated and still expensive. What is 3Mb when Etisalat is giving 15Mb??? Globacom even makes you call all networks at a flat rate of 25k/sec with NO HIDDEN CHARGES. Aitel also has very good plans and freebies. So, why cant MTN too do something close?
I just hope they will change soonest....

I really like the way you highlighted the new plans. Just too expensive plans. As for me am only using MTN to receive calls. Nothing more. if they like, let them change, if they like, they should continue. all less concerned. thx for this post.
ReplyDeleteThanx 4 breaking it all down. like u noted, it's complicated and still xpensive. One of my frends used my line to subscribe to family and frends xtended and now i'm angry with him.
ReplyDeleteMTN new tariff plans is the most confusing thing I have come across this month! A close analysis might even revealed that they increased their tariffs. This is sheer higgledy-piggledy.
