With the new MTN Pulse, you get 10MB of data every week after a total recharge of N100. Any subsequent recharges within the week won’t qualify you for another 10MB of free data until the week runs out. In this regard, I think it’s better than that of Etisalat where you are stuck with the EDGE network which seems to be unreliable especially in Lagos. You can also enjoy the free megabytes of data on your smaller 3G or EDGE phones by way of running your phone’s java apps like 2go messenger, Ebuddy, Opera Mini, and other java apps.
The package also comes with MTN PULSE CHAT which is actually not clear to me because the SMS sent are still charged at the same rate of N5 as with the normal MTN to MTN SMS charge.
