MTN Wakanet Mifi Data Bundles
The new Wakanet data bundles come in 5 affordable packages, starting at 10,000 UGX with 3GB of non-expiring data bundles, and the most expensive package goes for 85,000 UGX for 45GB of data.
How to Activate the Free 15GB Wakanet MiFi Bundles
The activation of the free 15GB of non-expiring data is automatic, and the moment you fully register your sim card and get the MiFi, you should be able to use the free data bundles. Keep in mind, that the default WiFi network name and password are written on the MiFi device.
To top up your MiFi with internet bundles, customers can simply go to the MyMTN app or dial 16564# to purchase affordable data that does not expire.
WakaNet MiFi vs the Competition
When it comes to portable wifi gadgets options in Uganda. Airtel had dominated the market with the Airtel 4G Pocket MiFi which when compared to the Wakanet MiFi struggles to gain a competitive advantage. MTN dominates Airtel when it comes to price points and the data offers. Both devices pack the same specs in terms of the maximum number of users(10 devices) that can be connected to the WiFi hotspot at once.
The decision to choose the best option usually boils down to how well each ISP performs within your area. But if you are a cost-sensitive customer and are always looking for a good deal, MTN Wakanet seems like a good option as it packs everything you need at a cheaper fee.
