Telefon & Communication
How to save money, during your visit to Ghana or Africa, and before you travel... Use your local phone only within your country. Free text messages are valid only within your home country! Don`t call foreign countries, in Africa, South America. You will be charged "amazing" rates! Most providers offer you low cost calls to US and Hongkong, but check upfront! |
Do not make any phone calls in Ghana or Africa, as the majority of the telecom companies charge even up to £2 per minute, for making a call, counted per minute..not per second. ($3 US)
Charges, for receiving a phone call; up to £1 Pound, per minute. ($1.50 US
Charges, for receiving a phone call; up to £1 Pound, per minute. ($1.50 US
Don`t ever use the mobile internet, when out of your country! Make sure, that your data is tuned off! Charges of £5 per MB is not unusual! To compare 1 MB; about the same, as a good picture, taken with a 10 Mega Pixel camera. Picture messages are charged with up to £2.50 per message! ($4 US) Good to know: Receiving a TEXT MESSAGE is usually FREE of charge, wherever you are!
Sending a message, not! (Up to £0.60 Pence, per message sent, out of Ghana / Africa!) Leaving relatives at home, and don`t want drain you or their bank account...? |

Source: MyJoyOnline / June 2014
MTN Ghana has introduced Roam Like Home, a new roaming tariff that allows subscribers to enjoy local rates on Voice, Data and SMS while travelling in any of the remaining 21 countries in which MTN operates.
”Roam Like Home” is the latest in the portfolio of tariff offered by MTN Ghana to deliver more value to subscribers. The service requires MTN Ghana subscribers to select the MTN network while roaming.
The countries include: Nigeria, Benin, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Guinea Bissau, Guinea Republic, Liberia, Republic of Congo (Congo-Brazzaville), Afghanistan, Iran, Cyprus Rwanda, Botswana, South Africa, Sudan, South Sudan, Swaziland, Syria, Uganda, Yemen and Zambia.
Commenting on the new roaming offer, the Acting Chief Marketing Officer of MTN Ghana, Noel Ganson, said, “the ‘Roam Like Home’ offer is a bonus tariff introduced to enable our valued subscribers stay connected longer with their friends, family and business associate while traveling outside Ghana”.
He further explained that, an MTN Ghana subscriber, who is charged locally per minute for on-net calls in Ghana will pay the same rate when roaming in South Africa, Nigeria or any of the 21 countries.
"The good news is that customers no longer have to go through the struggle of purchasing new SIM cards from the countries they visit in order to enjoy reduced tariffs, just maintain your MTN Ghana number and enjoy local rates in a foreign land,” he added.
MTN continues to deliver value to subscribers, through digitized innovation and creativity. This is in line with the company’s mission,” to make the lives of our customers a whole lot brighter.”
MTN also recently introduced a Global Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) service to facilitate business between Ghana’s rapidly expanding market and the rest of the world.
