Everything About MTN WhatsApp, International and Voice Bundles

MTN South Africa offers a wide range of data deals and bundles that all users should absolutely take advantage of. All MTN bundles are worth familiarizing oneself with, but their WhatsApp, International, and Voice Bundles are some of the most important because almost everyone makes calls, and also the social media platform, WhatsApp, has become increasingly popular with several young people (including the elderly) using it for their daily communication with friends and family.

Every network user would always complain about what their network provider is not doing and how they don’t feel satisfied. But it is rare to see them leave to find ‘greener pastures’ elsewhere, maybe because they are other things they enjoy from the service provider that they know they may not find with other network providers. That been said, there is another side to this. It is also possible the users fall short of familiarizing themselves with all the packages and services provided by their network providers and therefore shortchange themselves in terms of enjoying all the services available.

So, if you want to know all there is about MTN WhatsApp, international and voice bundles, you are at the right place; keep reading.

Everything You Need To Know About MTN WhatsApp Bundles

MTN WhatsApp bundles are data deals that users can use only to chat with friends, download short videos, voice notes, and view their contact status updates on WhatsApp. These bundles cannot be used to surf the internet or on any other social media platforms. This is because MTN has also provided bundles for social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Tik Tok.

Although each WhatsApp bundle has an expected duration, what you do with it will determine how long it would last – whether it will reach its earmarked expiry date or whether it will be exhausted before then. For instance, chatting does not consume as much data as downloading a file or viewing people’s status updates.

So, if you purchase a one-week WhatsApp data bundle, and you mostly use it to download files and view status, it is certain that your bundle will not last up to its validity (one week). Also, MTN WhatsApp bundles can be used to make calls with friends on the platform.

MTN WhatsApp Bundles

Now you know what to expect from MTN WhatsApp bundles, here are the different bundles you can choose from.

If you always use WhatsApp, you should go for the 1GB plan, which has a validity period of 20 days. It may be more expensive, but it has the highest data offer and will save you the stress of buying a data deal too often.

Going for cheaper data deals may seem economical at first, but you will realize that you are spending more going for the cheaper options over a long period of time. The daily and weekly plan is best if you do not frequently use the social media platform but need it for a while.

However, you should develop an affinity for WhatsApp as an MTN user because the telecommunication giant has several self-services that could be carried out through and with the chatting app, such as buying recharge cards and checking your airtime and data balances, among other things.
