Let’s get it. MTN Nigeria is amongst the largest Telecommunication Companies in Nigeria and their network service is everywhere you go.
From time to time they offer awesome airtime and data bonus to both new and existing customers just like the mtn 1GB for N200 welcome back bonus for Runaway customers.
Of course, they give airtime bonuses, either on recharge, based on the tariff plan you are in when you retrieve your lost sim, or on surprise ?.
I can remember some months ago when I lost my SIM and I had to retrieve it because of business.
Now, I went to MTN, bought a new sim card, and the changes were made. I got my number back and a few contacts I backed up.
That’s not all, I went home and after a few minutes of recovering my lost SIM, I got an N900 free airtime bonus from MTN Nigeria.

About The “MTN Browse With Airtime” Plan
It is called MTN PAYG which means Pay As You Go which allows you to browse with your airtime.
Yes, the service was launched by MTN to enable users to browse at the rate of 3naira per megabyte (N3/MB).
It can’t activate itself. Even though you exhaust your active data bundle, and you have airtime, all data connections will be disconnected.
You will have to opt into PAYG to power all browsers and access the internet with your airtime.
It’s funny when most people rejoice in the free browsing on their phone without realizing that PAYG is activated and they browse with the money in their account balance.
