Subscribers can conveniently pay with their airtime from their MTN mobile phone. Check table below for Price and Subscription types.

Pros:
Subscribers can use plug their existing AC appliances that is not more than 60W (LED TVs, Fans, Laptops, Phone chargers, etc.)
Convenient to pay your bills, tagging the subscription to the subscriber’s phone number for payment through airtime.
