MTN Unlimited N5,000

This action should activate the plan on your MTN line automatically.

MTN Unlimited N30,000

For this plan, you can subscribe by recharging your line with N30,000. Alternatively, visit the MyMTN app then follow the instructions on the app to subscribe. The final method is to pay from your bank account using your ATM card or your bank app.
