DataCost records operator sources row by row. A reachable source does not automatically verify every price, so rows without a checked date remain marked for confirmation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between once-off and recurring MTN data?
A once-off bundle expires without renewing. A recurring bundle can renew automatically when the next cycle starts, so check the purchase type before confirming.
How should I compare MTN monthly bundles?
Compare usable anytime data, validity, renewal behavior and listed Rand per GB together. Do not count restricted night data as ordinary daytime data.
Why might my MTN price differ from this page?
Operator menus can vary by SIM, tariff plan, app profile, campaign and checkout channel. The source status beside each row shows whether DataCost recorded a checked date.
