MTN Pulse and Chill Promo

With the Promotions, customers get the chance to win amazing prizes by building points. Points are accumulated on usage (calling, texting and browsing).

Customers are ranked and prizes are given to the highest point builders. The more you text, talk and browse, the more points you get. The MTN Pulse and Chill Promo is run periodically, so watch out for it.

Community

This feature lets you find, follow and message friends on the app. You get to post text statuses, videos, and pictures just like you do on Facebook.

Also quite like Facebook, you can like, share and comment on your friend's updates. At the moment, the community is small.

If you want a platform where you can find most of your school friends, this is not the place for you. However, if you want a relatively smaller platform, then you will like MTN Pulse's Community.

MTN Play Music

You also get to listen to samples of latest music by Ghanaian and other foreign artistes, but they are just samples (30 seconds long). To listen to the full songs, you have to download the MTN Music Plus app.
