Commenting on the tariff adjustment, the Corporate Services Executive of MTN Ghana, Samuel Koranteng said, “as a responsible corporate citizen, MTN has since the amendment of the of the law taken several steps to ensure customers enjoy the best of value propositions and an enhanced experience on the network.”

He added that the adjustment will enable MTN customers to enjoy more talk time and browsing time for the same price of voucher or bundle they buy.

Sam Koranteng explained that the 5% bonus on every recharge can be used for all types of calls, SMS to all networks and also browse on the internet, adding however that the bonus on recharge is valid for a period of 7 days and is available until the 31st of December 2020.

The statement said, further to the enhanced voice and data values as well as the 5% bonus on recharge, customers will continue to enjoy the existing 100% Bonus on Recharge (BOR) done on the Electronic Voucher Device (EVD) and Mobile Money with validity period of 7 days.
