Data Zone bundle sales have been halted, according to Scancom PLC (MTN Ghana).On April 5, 2023, this came into effect.

The business says that this is because the package offer was reviewed in accordance with the Significant Market Power (SMP) directives that were applied to MTN Ghana in June 2020.

According to a public notice, the package offer is not to be the cheapest in the industry.

"We are currently engaging and collaborating with the Regulator, as we seek alignment on a revised Data Zone Bundle to be reinstated as soon as possible," the notice added.

Members of the general public will be notified "in due course of further developments".

Following the suspension and the delayed clarification, MTN subscribers took to social media to register their displeasure over the bundles suspension.

@MTNGhana @Citi973 MTN GHANA didn't see it fit to tell us what has happened to our ZONE DATA BUNDLE. They have behaved with impunity and that's gross disrespect to the general public. They rather direct you to use *141# or *138# as if we don't know those exist.— mr._syoa (@bennie_gh) April 11, 2023

MTN Ghana says it deeply regrets the delay in its communication on the matter.

Data Zone Bundle is an innovation by MTN Ghana which previously gave customers a 1-day validity bundle at discounted rates at the point of purchase. Subscription was through the short code 135.
