MTN EasyTalk
With MTN EasyTalk a customer gets a chance to own and have an MTN number without actually owning a Mobile handset.
Instead you get an MTN EasyTalk SIM card which is used in specific MTN EasyTalk call boxes; these being public fixed GSM terminals.
The MTN EasyTalk call box offers, above making and receiving voice calls, all the basic value added services that MTN offers, enabling:
- Sending and receiving SMS
- Retrieving Voicemail
- Maintaining an Phonebook
- Sending and receiving Me2U
- Checking Airtime Balance
- Sending and receiving VoiceSMS and more
When your Airtime runs out, simply load Airtime like any other MTN mobile phone user; by buying a regular MTN recharge voucher.
How to
Simply insert the MTN EasyTalk SIM Card into the card slot on the phone, it will run through a short validation process; thereafter proceed to make or receive calls or use the available service features:
