Explaining the reason for the upward review of the Data Bundle prices, the Chief Commercial Officer for MTN, Noel Kojo-Ganson said the review was necessitated by the recent economic shifts leading to increasing cost of operations. These economic shifts have impacted us directly and for us to ensure we have the right balance, we have had to consider price increases in various segments of our business.”   

Mr. Kojo-Ganson added, “MTN recognises that we are in very tough times and would like to assure our Customers that we will continue to offer them the convenience and flexibility in the purchase of data bundles at their desired price points via the MTN Flexi and Non-Expiry Bundles.  Also, customers will continue to enjoy the 50% bonus incentive on MyMTN App & MoMo (valid for 7 days) for 4G customers".
