Our verdict

MTN Sudan sells its own network's data plans directly, with billing on prepaid and contract and prices from SDG 2,000. It suits people in SD who want a large monthly data bundle or a small daily top-up rather than a handset deal, and who will manage their own allowance instead of paying for unlimited data.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Sold by the network that runs the service rather than a reseller, so the price comes from the operator: network.
  • Sim only service is available, so you can keep your own handset and pay for data alone.
  • Billing is listed as prepaid and contract, letting you top up as you go or pay a monthly bill.
  • A daily data bundle is the cheapest entry overall, which suits light, occasional browsing.

Cons

  • The reference plan prices set out a monthly data bundle and a daily data bundle, both metered by volume, so heavy users pay for each unit they go over.
  • The entry price, SDG 2,000, buys a small daily data bundle rather than the monthly allowance, so regular heavy use costs more.
  • Plans run in a single market, SD, so the price and bundles do not carry over anywhere else.

Who it suits

  • People in SD who want data from the operator itself, since MTN Sudan is a network seller, network.
  • Light users who browse in short bursts and prefer a small daily bundle over a monthly commitment.
  • Buyers comparing billing mixes: MTN Sudan lists prepaid and contract, so prepaid and contract can sit on the same shortlist as yesss! at contract, rolling and prepaid.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Shoppers who want rolling billing alongside contract billing, which yesss! lists as contract, rolling and prepaid.
  • People hunting for a very low entry price in another currency, where GETESA starts at XAF 300.
