Rise and Fall of MTN Zone Tariff Plan
MTN Zone tariff plan undoubtedly at some point
in time rose to stardom and became one of the most cherished tariff plans by
many across all the major GSM networks providers in the country if not even the
most loved.
And you
might want to start asking why so many people embraced the MTN Zone tariff plan
more than other plans across MTN network and even when compared to other tariff
plans of other competing networks.
Now, the
reason might not be far-fetched as it is the wish of everybody that owns a
mobile phone connected to a network to make calls and send SMS at the best or
cheapest price rate ever both when calling on-net and off-net networks, and
that was exactly what MTN Zone started offering to the teaming
population of hungry GSM network users right from the time the plan was
introduced by MTN.
MTN Zone
Tariff Plan was the plan that allowed MTN subscribers to make very cheap calls
both to MTN networks and off-net networks at unbeatable rate that is often
determined by the cellular network available in your present location.
And with
that, most MTN Zone subscribers were able to enjoy cheap call rates at
different point in time and at different locations across the country; which
ranges from making calls at very low rate of 4K/sec and sometimes it rises up a bit to 8K/sec, 12K/sec, 16k/sec
and hardly does it get to 20K/sec
and 24K/sec and SMS are still
charged at the harmonized flat rate of N4
to all networks.
And that is
how it has been for quite a long time since it was introduced and really
competed favourably with other on-net and off-net tariff plans until this
present time.
For any MTN
prepaid subscribers that want to migrate to MTN Zone, he/she was to dial *135*1# and start enjoying all the
benefits that come with MTN Zone tariff plan.
Yes, today the
tide is gradually changing or we can conclude that is has changed completely
and the sun no longer rise and set from east to west but the reversal is now
the case at the mention of MTN Zone.
Presently, different
complaints about the one most cherished tariff plans kept on pouring on daily
bases, ranging from that the MTN Zone tariff plan now no longer drops below 12K/sec to that most time now it is
pegged at 24K/sec in most locations
and all these are contrary to the MTN
Zone Tariff plan rate that they are familiar with in the past.
Many folks out there are now getting fed up
with MTN Zone tariff plans and are now 100% ready and willing to port unlike
before when they often find it difficult to try out other plans apart from Zone.
Sometimes I
tend to wonder and ask myself if all these are happening to consolidated the
saying that “the only constant thing in life is change”
Now MTN Zone
tariff plan I know will be finally nailed to the coffin in no time as all the
major 4 GSM networks providers have recently introduced what arguably could be
termed as the cheapest call tariff plans
ever since they all started operating in the country.
And the
these new tariff plans are all similar in their call rates charges and for MTN
it can be seen in the new MTN True Talk Plus, while for Airtel it is the new Airtel Smart Talk and for Glo it is in the new Glo Gbam Plus and finally Etisalat has
their new Etisialat Easylife 4.0 Limited Edition.
And since
low priced call rate plans are the major determinant of the direction consumers
tends to shift towards, we can now affirmatively tell you that MTN Zone tariff
plan will after now no longer see the light of the day.
