MTN Ghana has announced the postponement of its intended implementation of new data prices scheduled for today, Monday, November 14, 2022.

The telecommunications giant explained that the delay in the implementation is to allow for broader stakeholder alignment and as such, the current data tariff plans will continue until further notice.

On November 11, 2022, MTN Ghana announced a 15% upward review of its mobile data prices for both Pay Monthly and Pay-As-You-Go customers.

Rising cost of operations

Explaining the reason for the upward review of the Data Bundle prices, the Chief Commercial Officer for MTN, Mr. Noel Kojo-Ganson, said the review was necessitated by the recent economic shifts leading to increasing cost of operations.

“These economic shifts have impacted us directly and for us to ensure we have the right balance; we have had to consider price increases in various segments of our business”.
