So, stick around and enjoy this all-important piece.

What’s The MTN Video Data Bundle About?

Unlike the everyday data bundle which you buy on your phone for the purpose of browsing, texting, WhatsApping, checking Social Media and watching Youtube videos, the Video Data Bundle is more specific.

The Video Data Bundle is specifically made for people who enjoy streaming videos on Youtube, Kwese Iflix and DST App.

The bundle works only on the three platforms listed above and strictly on their mobile applications too.

What You Can’t Use The Video Bundle For

There is a tall list of things you cannot possibly use the MTN Video Data Bundle for. Some other MTN Data Packages can help with this but not the Video Bundle.

Some of these things are listed below:

  1. You cannot watch Youtube videos with this bundle when using a web browser. It practically works on the Youtube Mobile application only. If for any reason, you’re still able to access the Youtube platform with a web browser when on this bundle, then be informed that you’re probably using a residual or bonus bundle somewhere else. And once that bundle finishes, you won’t have access to the Youtube platform anymore.
  2. Also, you cannot watch Netflix with this bundle. Yes, I know this sounds shocking. But even though Netflix is a video streaming platform, MTN Ghana didn’t consider them when coining the ‘Video Data Bundle’ term. It’s simply just about Youtube, Iflix and My DSTV App.
  3. You cannot download a movie or watch any other movie on any other video platform with this data bundle.
  4. Never can you browse social media with this data bundle. If you don’t have any normal data package or social media package, just forget it. The Video data bundle won’t cater for your social media charges.
  5. Finally, anything that has to do with using your web browser cannot be catered for by the video bundle. Even if you have 500GB worth of Video Data bundle, your browser won’t work until you have the normal data package.
