MTN has introduced a new range of simplified Yellow Plans, bundling anytime data and all-networks minutes with prices starting from as low as R99 per month.
According to Bertus van der Vyver, General Manager of MTN South Africa, these packages are part of MTN’s strategy to radically simplify its contract offers. “After listening to what our customers wanted from their voice and data packages, MTN developed Yellow Plans which we believe are the most user-friendly mobile contracts offered in South Africa,” Van der Vyver said. “Swept away are the complex add-ons and the splits between voice-centric and data-centric offers, further complicated with all-net and on-net minutes or specific time-bound data.”
MTN’s decision to simplify its plans for smartphone users was influenced by the positive customer response to its simplified Home Internet and Mobile Internet portfolios. This new approach aims to offer clear, straightforward options that cater to user needs without the confusion of complicated add-ons.
The Yellow Plans cater to a range of needs and budgets, from the most affordable option to more comprehensive packages:
- Essential Plan: 750MB of anytime data and 25 all-network minutes for R99 per month.
- Core Plan: 1GB of anytime data and 50 all-network minutes for R149 per month.
- Plus Plan: 1.5GB of anytime data and 100 all-network minutes for R199 per month.
- Prime Plan: 2GB of anytime data and 200 all-network minutes for R249 per month.
- Deluxe Plan: 6GB of anytime data and 250 all-network minutes for R399 per month.
These plans are available on a month-to-month basis, or on 24-month and 36-month contracts. Customers can choose between SIM-only or device bundle options. Additionally, the plans support data-sharing with up to five MTN numbers, adding flexibility and value.
Below is a summary of MTN’s five new Yellow Plans:
