MTN Uganda has decided to make changes in data bundles for its subscribers. The chief executive officer (CEO) Wim Vanhelleputte on Tuesday announced the ‘freedom data bundles” saying they never expire in 24 hours as had been the case in the past.
Vanhelleputte announced the launch of the unlimited bundles during the inaugural annual information and technology (ICT) Expo at Nakawa where President Yoweri Museveni was chief guest.
“I take this opportunity to announce the long awaited MTN Freedom bundles. You can now get data bundles that never expire. Simply dial *150*7# to enjoy the freedom,” he said, adding that it has been the concern of subscribers in Uganda as well as Nigeria and Ghana where they have sister companies.
He said MTN subscribers would surf the internet till their data bundles are used up. At first all bundles would expires after 24 hours even if one had not used it from the time of subscribing.
The bundles have been welcomed by many MTN subscribers saying, it is the best Christmas present this year. “2020 blessings have been bestowed on us this early courtesy of MTN” One Muya Chris wrote on twitter.
The outgoing ICT minister Frank Tumwebaze, thanked MTN for the initiative, saying that it would boost ICT uptake in the country.
