MTN XtraValue : Benefits, tariff billings, migration and bundles

The MTN XtraValue presents an avenue for subscribers to get a joint airtime and data value in one subscription.

Ordinarily, most subscriptions on the network are either uniquely for only data or solely for airtime reboosts. These purchases being unable to satisfy subscribers who fall within the midpoint bracket – those in need of both airtime and data, a third set of bundle became necessary.

This third but needed category of mobile subscription caters simultaneously for both the data and calling needs of a network user. It erodes the inconvenience associated with purchase of multiple airtime for data subscription and for calls.

MTN Nigeria has made this combination pack more relishing, as there are two subdivision of ‘a more of data’ pack, and ‘more of call time’ pack. This means that as a talking ace, I could place several yet numerous calls to family members and friends, get offered a data allocation for me to slide intermittently into the internet, all while still within my set budget.

Conversely, as an unrelenting internet user, I could access priority contents from the world wide web, catch up with friends on social media, and get a call time allocation necessary to offset any calling undermine.

The MTN XtraTalk bundle is one which gives you more airtime than data, while the XtraData bundle gives you more data than airtime.

End Note

The MTN XtraValue packages are one of the best telecom deals anyone could get in the country. On a personal note, it feels distressing and seemingly uneffective subscribing to a data plan in addition to a separate purchase of an airtime talktime. It’s even more irritating, when known that you could easily avoid this inconvenience.

As a consistent XtraValue subscriber, i’ve had only one case of distress with them: it wasn’t about the data value; not about their claimed airtime value when paired with actual count; but with a dishonest auto renewal experience. Normally, after exhausting my one-off 30 days bundle, i usually manual-renew the bundle; and the validity of the plan offsetted a further 30 days from the date of resubscription.

In a particular resubscription act, the bundle’s validity wasn’t offsetted but retained the duration of the earlier bundle. Expectedly, upon contacting their online representatives (this till date is their fastest query response means), the bundle’s duration wasn’t offsetted. They only had an unambitious, feckless consolation plea for the ‘inconvenience’ they admitted to have brought; and such wasn’t repeated anylonger till date.

MTN Nigeria is the widest telecom network in the country, and their XtraValue bundle is one of their best unreserved value-packed offers. All Prepaid and Postpaid subscribers are eligible to subscribe to this package.
