MTN has introduced an application that allows users to check their airtime balance, buy Internet bundles and recharge with airtime.
The operator announced MTNza KeyPad for tablets yesterday. The app, says MTN, also allows users to purchase other MTN Internet services.
Mapula Bodibe, GM of consumer segments at MTN SA, says up to now, tablets have been unable to use USSD codes. "This made it a tedious and lengthy process for our customers to check their balances, recharge with airtime and purchase Internet bundles because it required them to insert their tablet SIM cards into a mobile phone to do this."
According to MTN, the MTNza KeyPad app is free of charge and does not carry any further data charges for usage, but any other billable USSD services will be charged for as per normal transactions.
The app is available for download via iOS and Android play stores. Data charges may apply to download.
