MTN promises to end the angst customers feel when their data expires unused at the end of the month.
The operator has launched Data Share, which allows MTN customers to link up and share data with up to 20 MTN numbers without incurring any connection or SIM linking fee.
MTN says the offer allows the main MTN account-holder to add and link SIM-enabled devices such as dongles, tablets and modems, and MTN numbers of their extended family and friends free of charge.
The main account-holder can then share data with these MTN numbers to make sure any unused data does not go to waste.
Chief marketing officer of MTN SA Larry Annetts says the offer has been launched because the operator realised many customers do not consume all of the data that MTN provides in their packages.
"Data Share gives customers who generally use data modestly an opportunity to share unused data with additional MTN numbers and members of their extended families who are on the MTN network, who can use it for a variety of applications, including downloading, online gaming and streaming," says Annetts.
He adds the increasing uptake of SIM-enabled devices such as tablets, dongles and modems has resulted in customers being weighed down by the administration hassle of managing numerous accounts.
Data Share aims to remove this constraint by giving customers the flexibility to share across multiple devices, says MTN.
MTN Data Share is available to Prepaid, TopUp, Postpaid and My MTNChoice customers.
