What is MTN Airtime Data?
MTN airtime data is a service offered by the South African mobile network provider, MTN. It allows users to purchase and use mobile data directly from their pre-paid accounts, without having to purchase additional subscriptions or bundles. This makes it convenient for customers who do not want to pay for extra services like roaming fees or subscription plans.
How Does MTN Airtime Data Work?
When you buy an airtime recharge voucher from your local store or via online banking, it will be credited into your account as both talk time and data balance. Once that’s done, you can access the internet using the same balance in your account which was earlier used for talking on phone calls. This means that when someone uses up his/her talk time balance they are still able to connect to the internet; however this comes at a cost because every megabyte of data consumed will be deducted from their airtime balance instead of being added as part of their free monthly bundle allowance.
Why Do People Want To Stop Using MTN Airtime For Data?
The main reason people prefer not to use MTN airtime for data is due to its expensive costs per megabyte compared with other options such as bundled plans and prepaid packages available in South Africa today. Bundled packages offer more value per megabyte than buying separate recharge vouchers for voice and data usage combined together in one package – making them much cheaper overall in comparison with buying individual vouchers separately each month. Furthermore, if you exhaust all your allocated monthly bundle allowance then there’s no need worry about paying extra money out every time you exceed it – unlike what would happen if you were paying separately for each type of service (voice +internet).
How Can You Stop Mtn From Using Your Airtime For Data?
If you wish to stop using mtns airtime for accessing Internet then follow these simple steps:
1) Go into “Settings” menu within your device’s settings app (the exact location may vary depending on whether its Android or iOS).
2) Select “Mobile Networks” option under Wireless & Network Settings section and turn off “Data Enabled” toggle switch located at bottom right corner next to Cellular Network Preference option .
By doing so ,you have successfully disabled connection between cellular networks (which includes mtn )and any kind of internet services like web browsing etc .It should now only allow voice calling but no access over Internet until enabled again through same above steps .This way user can easily control how much he wants his celluar operator(in our case Mtn)to deduct money out from its prepaid account while surfing web .
Conclusion
In conclusion ,if someone wants more efficient way of managing expense related with Mobile operators then disabling ‘data enabled’ toggle switch could be better choice than blindly relying upon subscribing costly bundles /monthly packs offered by companies such as Mtn which might end up costing huge amount overtime specially when user exceeds his allocated MB quota further leading him/her towards hefty bills later down road !
