MTN XtraValue tariff plan code and benefits
MTN XtraValue Tariff Plan offers special voice call credit and data bonuses to all MTN subscribers who choose the XtraValue as their tariff plan. I am going to share the code you can use to subscribe to MTN XtraValue tariff and as well as the benefit you get when you migrate to this tariff plan.
MTN has more than 10 different tariff plan designed for different purposes and suitable for different subscribers base on their desires and needs. MTN XtraValue Tariff Plan is a plan that provides you with airtime for National SMS & calls, International calls to certain chosen destinations, and data for browsing. The XtraValue gives you two choices such as:
- XtraTalk (this bundle gives you more airtime than data)
- XtraData (this bundle gives you more data than airtime)
XtraTalk: This option gives you more airtime for National SMS & calls, International calls and more, this option is mainly for those who needs more airtime credit than data. Choosing XtraTalk over XtraData means that you more interested in getting more airtime credit for calls and SMS than the data MB for browsing.
XtraData: As the name already explains, this option is designed to offer you much more data for browsing , downloading and uploading files online. If you value data more than airtime then his option is what you need. Hoever, you should be aware that getting more data means lesser airtime and more airtiem means lesser data offer. That’s how MTN XtraValue Tariff Plan works.
