Lonestar Cell MTN announces low-cost voice and data bundle

Lonestar Cell MTN says it has begun offering an affordable telecommunications bundle to help customers stay connected to what matters the most.

The company noted that the bundle, which was developed under the auspices of the Liberia Telecommunications Authority (LTA) will provide some relief to customers and help them stay productive as they work from home and stay in touch with friends and family.

It further states that the bundle is part of Lonestar Cell MTN’s Y’ello Hope package, which is exclusively available via MTN Mobile Money and can be purchased by dialing *156*19#. The bundle, which costs 200 LRD, provides customers with a daily allocation of 80MB of data, 8 minutes to call Lonestar Cell MTN numbers, 2 minutes to call customers on other networks and 100 SMS for 7 days. This daily allocation is provided to subscribers automatically each day for the 7-day validity period.

Commenting on the offer, Lonestar Cell MTN’s Chief Marketing Officer, Yaw AnkomaAgyapong, said, “During these times, as we practice social distancing, we want to ensure that our customers can still maintain vital connections to the people and things that matter the most. We are pleased to bring this bundle to market, in conjunction with the LTA, and hope it helps ease the burden on our subscribers. And, of course, there is the added feature of making this a MoMo-exclusive, which means our customers can stay safe and protected while they purchase this bundle from the comfort of their homes using Mobile Money without risking their health.”

MTN Mobile Money enables safe, fast, and convenient transactions on *156# and signing up for it is free. To sign up, customers just need to visit any Lonestar Cell MTN service center or registered MoMo agent with a valid identification card and fill out an application form.
