Africa’s leading telecoms company MTN has slashed its prepaid data prices in South Africa reducing the cost of 10GB of data (including another 10GB for use at certain times of the night) to R149. The new MTN BozzaGigs LTE tariff plan also offers 10GB (5GB plus 5GB night-time data) for R99 and comes a week after Vodacom cut headline prepaid data prices, with 1GB of data falling to R85 from R99 previously.
The new MTN deals have a validity period of 30 days. Prepaid customers will have to move to the BozzaGigs LTE plan before they can take advantage of the prices.
