Campusers using MTN Uganda should brace themselves because the telecom company has launched new data and voice bundles at very low prices; more similar to those to rival telecom companies. Some promotions even have the same names as their competitors. These include MTN Voice, MTN social and MTN Night shift.
MTN Voice
Call this MTN Uganda’s version of pakalast, it enables users buy 15 minutes Daily or 150 minutes Weekly and 1000 minutes worth of MTN to MTN calls for 1,000/-, 7,000/- and 30,000/- respectively. The monthly bundle is still less than Airtel’s corporate package that has 1,400 minutes. You might call this a copy but some customers are a bit happy. Did they really have to take that long.
You can activate this bundle buy dialing *160*2# Select the Voice bundles choose your package.
MTN Shift
Campusers who love downloading series and heavy files will love this new bundle. This data bundle is MTN’s version of Airtel’s Night Pack which is an after midnight internet pack with 1 GB of internet. This bundle will cost you 2,500/- and probably you sleep. The speeds were however quite impressive compared to Airtel’s night pack. Dial *150*1* # to activate.
MTN Social
This one killed anyone who is a fan of the Samsung and Apple court woes. MTN copy pasted the internet social media bundles from Airtel and launched them on their network. You can buy a bundle of unlimited access to either WhatsApp, Twitter or Facebook at 200/- for the service you desire. Or you can buy the whole bundle for 500/- to enjoy unlimited access to WhatsApp, Twitter and Facebook for 500/- a day.
MTN seems to be revamping their promotions because they have also introduced “free” sms bundles. Much as there are quite a number technical issues at the moment, we will enjoy when they are done.
