MTN adds data bundles for video-sharing app Tik-Tok

SA Telecom group MTN announced that it launched new data bundle packages for the popular video-sharing app Tik-Tok.

The TikTok data bundles will range from R5 for a daily bundle of 100MB,  Weekly bundle worth R20 for 500MB to R50 for a monthly bundle of 1GB.

This launch follows MTN SA CEO Godfrey Motsa promising customers last year that MTN would cater for the growing number of TikTok users in South Africa.

MTN said that while no official figures are available to measure the app’s popularity in South Africa, videos categorised using the hashtag #tiktoksouthafrica have in excess of 400 million views.

“We have heard our customers and hope that the launch of these bundles will enable them to make the most of what is arguably the fastest growing social platform amongst the youth,” said Jacqui ‘O Sullivan, Corporate Affairs Executive at MTN SA in a statement.

“We are committed to providing products and solutions that resonate with our customers, and the introduction of our TikTok bundles is another such offering.”
