MTN Nigeria Re-Package VTU Service

MTN Nigeria has launched an enhanced version of its Virtual Top Up (VTU) service known as MTN VTU Plus. The new service was an improvement on its predecessor, VTU, and would allow subscribers buy airtime, purchase MTN data services, logical PINs and renew Blackberry subscription directly from any VTU terminal or vendor nationwide.

Speaking during a press briefing to announce the re-launch of the product in Lagos last week, MTN’s Sales and Distribution Executive, Omatsola Barrow, said the new service is a unique innovation that allows MTN’s trade partners and vendors to sell up to 48 different MTN products and services to their customers.

“Not only is MTN VTU Plus convenient for our customers, our trade partners can also enjoy the benefits of making a single payment for stock while selling 48 different products and services to their retailers and customers. Aside from the ease of payment, VTU Plus also completely eliminates the cost of inventory and storage, theft of stock and increases the speed of product distribution with effective tracking and monitoring,” said Barrow.

Noting that MTN feels elated by the innovative prowess through the platform, which is the first in the global telecommunication industry, he explained that the service is a determined efforts of MTN Nigeria tailored towards adding value to the lives of the subscribers.

“This innovation entails that customers can seamlessly top up their credit from any part of the world hence they are in contact with their vendors,” he added.

Shedding more light on the benefits of the service, the General Manager, Business Development, Richard Iweanoge, noted that MTN VTU Plus also enabled MTN customers to remotely top up airtime on their mobile phones from any location.

“Customers could also enjoy multiple services without the inconvenience of using scratch cards and punching in the USSD code *555*PIN# or *888*PIN#. This service brings a new level of convenience to our esteemed customers. There is no need to scratch physical recharge cards. Customers can directly recharge for voice calls, or buy and activate data bundles directly into their devices (Smartphones, iPads/Tabs, MiFi, Dongles, etc.) or renew their BlackBerry subscription. We are sure that this service will be a huge hit with our customers,” he said.

“We have pledged to continue to enrich the lives of our customers by providing them with a robust bouquet of innovative products and services. MTN VTU Plus is yet another way in which we are fulfilling this promise. We will continue to seek for new ways of adding value to the lives of our customers,” said MTN’s Corporate Services Executive, Akinwale Goodluck.
