For high-data prepaid usage, customers can purchase a 30GB monthly bundle for R499 once off and get an allocation of 1GB data every day for 30 days. This amounts to a total of 30GB over 30 days, priced at only R16 per day. Customers who opt for the R699 package will get 2GB every day for 30 days.
“Our aim with EverydayGigs is to keep our customers connected at all times,” says Jacqui O’Sullivan, Executive Head for Corporate Affairs, MTN SA.. “Customers won’t need to worry if they deplete all their data in one day as they will just get more the next day – giving all our customers a sense of security with a guarantee that they will be connected again tomorrow without the worry of finding money to purchase another bundle.”
