Mobile telecommunication service provider, MTN Nigeria, has slashed the roaming rates for its data bundle with the introduction of the ‘Roam like Home with MTN One World’.
The development, the firm said on Wednesday, was part of its efforts to ensure Internet accessibility at the most affordable rate for Nigerians while roaming.
The MTN One World rates will enable prepaid and post-paid subscribers, who travel out of the country, to have access to the Internet on their mobile phones and send text messages at the standard home rate of five kobo per kilobyte and N4 per SMS, as if they are in Nigeria, according to the firm said.
The service, it added, was available in all the 19 countries where MTN was operating.
The Chief Marketing Officer, MTN Nigeria, Mr. Larry Annetts, explained that the key strategic focus for the new tariff plan was to ensure data communication at the most affordable rate on the go.
He said, “We are always committed to delivering a new world of digital experience to our customers and the thrust of this initiative is to ensure friendly roaming tariff rates, where our customers who travel to any of our 19 operating countries can still feel at home, browsing at a standard home rate of five kobo per kilobyte.”
