If you’re looking for a prepaid mobile plan that offers affordable calling rates, exclusive data bundles, and some cool bonuses, then MTN Pulse might be the perfect option for you.
In this post, we’ll go over everything you need to know about Pulse tariff plan, including how to migrate, its benefits, and how to maximize your use of Pulse Points and special bundles.
What MTN Pulse is, it Call rate and Charges
MTN Pulse is a prepaid mobile tariff package that provides MTN customers with a variety of benefits, including discounted call rates, exclusive data bundles, and other thrilling rewards. The Pulse plan is intended to provide users with greater value by allowing them to talk more, and browse more,—all at affordable rates.
This plan is a great way to get more out of your prepaid account, with perks like special data bundles, Pulse Points, and exclusive offers tailored to help you stay connected and enjoy the best value.
The pulse tariff plan is available to all MTN prepaid customers. Whether you’re already an MTN customer or thinking of switching, you can easily migrate to this tariff plan and start enjoying all the benefits it offers.
When you opt in to the tariff plan, you get a flat rate of 13 kobo per second for calls to all local networks in Nigeria. Note, this rate is only applicable only after the first 90 seconds call of the day, which will be charged at 30 kobo per second.
This simply means that your accumulated spend must reach ₦27 for each day call. Once you hit the threshold, the rate drops to 13 kobo per second for the rest of that same day calls. The discounted call rate will reset the following day.
If you switch from MTN Pulse to another prepaid plan after making your first 90 seconds of calls, your calls will be charged according to the new tariff plan’s rates
Also, keep in mind that the discounted call rate on this tariff plan is only valid for MTN-to-MTN calls and calls to other local networks. International calls will be charged at usual international call rates.
