MTN Pulse: What you need to know

Get more updates: 
It is a well known fact that MTN Nigeria has the largest subscriber base in the telco industry in the country. It's also an open secret that they are not the fastest to jump on the customer satisfaction ship. That is why it's always news to see them come up with 'new' offerings.




The latest covering the media airwaves is the MTN Pulse. So here is what it is and what its not:


1. First it's a tariff plan. And to the best of my understanding it will work alongside with the Xtra cool / Funlink flavour they have always offered the young at heart (and pocket).

2. It has Chat offering. The nature of this aspect of the service is not quite clear to me if they are going forward to going backwards. 5 Naira per SMS? How many chats can you send with that kind of billing?

Below is a table grabbed from their website that explains every thing that would be taking up cost when you subscribe to this tariff plan.

  4. I'm not sure you add contacts, that's why you see MTN - MTN rate. I could be wrong - try calling customer care at MTN.

  13. Hello Anonymous, I'm not sure of any site used separately for chatting but If you are already on MTN Pulse plan, you can register for MTN Pulse Chat service to connect and chat with others who are also on the MTN Pulse plan. You will enjoy a special rate of N5/SMS.

    To register for MTN Pulse Chat, simply text CHAT to 33117 at N5 for Pulse customers and you will receive details on how to complete your registration.
