Back to the best MTN call tariff plans in the Nigerian marker today, let’s first clear the air on something.
MTN clearly has two major plans; prepaid and postpaid. For the most part, we use prepaid. However, there are a certain organisations and personnel who use the postpaid plan. But if you happen to buy and register your SIM at an MTN outlet, and you are required to recharge before being able to make calls, you are on the prepaid plan.

If you do not want to spend much money on calls and sorts, I would advise you carefully go through the tariff plans I will be stating and possibly explaining here. The aim is to give you a better insight at the subject matter and also aid you in choosing the best prepaid plan suitable for you.
MTN XtraSpecial
The MTN xtra special call tariff plan typically has no daily access fee in the chart. Tariffs here are pretty much on the affordable side.
Calls are charged at 15K/sec which equals N9/minute. These rates are not limited to just MTN numbers, they apply to other networks in the country. Meaning, if you choose to call a glo or airtel number, you will be charged the same flat rate of 15kobo per second.
Another benefit with the xtraspecial tariff plan is that you get to call some selected international destinations at the same rate. There is also an added benefit of 7 days free subscription to EPL video service. To be a clear, this is for MTN postpaid customers.
Summary of MTN Xtra Special Tariff Plan and Eligible Destinations

| MTN-to-MTN | 15k/sec |
| MTN-to-Other Network | 15k/sec |
| MTN-to-18 Selected International destinations | 15k/sec |

MTN Xtra Pro
Yes, there is a xtra tag in this same as the one above. However, the xtra pro plan is quite new and offers the cheapest MTN tariff plan.
On the MTN Xtra pro plan, you are charged 11k/sec and N6.60/minute. This same tariff applies to calls to other networks within the country.
As fascinating as this plan is, there is a daily access fee of N5. The daily access fee is only charged upon your first initiation of a call in the day. In a case whereby you do not have up to N5 as your account balance, you will be charged 20k/s which equals N12/min.

MTN Beta Talk
MTN beta talk has been in existence for a while. I’ve even talked about the tariff plan a few times on this blog.
Basically, on the mtn beta talk plan, you get 250% bonus on every recharge of N100 and above. And for recharges below N100, you get 150% bonus. You also get 10MB free data on a 7 day period.
Call tariffs on this plan are quite on the high side and that’s courtesy of the bonus that comes with every recharge. National calls are charged at 40kobo per second which equals NGN24 per minute.
This quite expensive call rate still applies even after exhausting the bonus airtime given. I personally will only recommend this plan if your use your mtn sim for basically internet subscription.
Imagine you recharged NGN1000 to subscribe to a data plan. Upon N1000 recharge, you will receive N2500 as bonus. You can thereafter, utilize the bonus airtime for calls while you subscribe with the N1000 you recharged. That’s more like getting your money back.
How does MTN BetaTalk call rate work?
- National calls will be charged at the rate of N25.20/minute (42k/sec) from the customer’s main account and N27/minute (45k/sec) from the bonus account.
- All National calls, SMS and Data will be charged from the customer’s main account as soon as the bonus airtime is exhausted or expires.
- International calls, International SMS and Data while roaming will be charged from the customer’s main account only at the prevailing international rate.
- NB: (National Calls & National SMS means calls & SMS to all networks in Nigeria i.e. On-net and Off-net calls and SMS)

MTN TruTalk+ is another MTN tariff plan that has been in existence for quite a long time. This plan commands call rates of 11kobo per second and calls to international numbers at 20k/second.
There is also a daily access fee here. A daily access fee of N5 which is same as the MTN Xtra pro plan.
The daily access fee is only charged if you initial a call in a day. In a case whereby you didn’t any call in a day, you will not be charged.

MTN Pulse
MTN pulse has been pushed more often than the rest. This is because the pulse plan is aimed at the youths and the young at heart. The plan has been in existence for a while as MTN iPulse but it was ditched and later relaunched as the now MTN Pulse.
Calls on the MTN Pulse tariff plan are charged at 11kobo per second after spending 40kobo per second on the first one minute.
What this means is, the first one minute of the day on the plan will be charged at 40kobo per second. Subsequent calls during the day will be charged at 11kobo per second.
Other than the call tariff plans, there is the night browsing plan. With N25, you get to surf the internet between 12:00am and 4:00am. Of course, with a data limit. Although officially stated to be 500MB, in reality, its way lesser than that.
