MTN Pulse Nigeria: Everything You Need to Know About MTN Pulse

Let’s learn together everything you need to know about the MTN Pulse tariff plan for Nigeria MTN Subscribers.

Without an iota of doubt, MTN Pulse is the best MTN prepaid tariff plan that offers a flat rate of 11 k/sec after the first 60 seconds. This tariff plan has been around for some time now and it’s trendy. Besides the low call rate offer, you can also enjoy data benefits, services and products when using this plan.

This plan has distinguished itself from every other plan due to its perfect balance of calls and data. I may say that MTN has really done a great job on Pulse. MTN Pulse is somehow designed for those of you who love cheap call rates and data bonuses like me.

I realize it is the biggest marketplace for MTN because most MTN subscribers are in Nigeria even though the network is present in other countries.

Before making further claims and hyping the tariff so much, I’ll list out all of the benefits associated with it. Whether to switch or not from your current plan will be left for you to make.
