MTN South Africa has revamped its internet offering by introducing several new packages including free access to social media site, Twitter, across prepaid, contract and hybrid.

“The solutions that MTN is bringing to the market today enable customers of any type and
budget to make the most out of their feature-phone, smartphone or tablet. The focus is on getting the most out of the connected experience, and not worrying about bits and bytes,” said Brian Gouldie, CMO of MTN South Africa.

The revamped offerings include MTN Internet Explore (at a cost of R10), MTN Chat (R15), MTN Social Networking (R19), MTN Smartphone Lite (R29) and MTN Smartphone Plus (R39).

“The services are designed to enable world-class chat, social and browsing experiences at
an affordable price,” said Gouldie.

All services include free access to Twitter (until 31 July 2014), and free access to the Wikipedia online encyclopaedia via the Opera Mini browser.

The new services provide MTN PayAsYouGo subscribers with a calendar month of validity, while TopUp, MyMTNChoice and Contract customers will receive access for one billing cycle, MTN said.
