To understand the MTN UP2U data bundle, we spoke to MTN support.
We discovered that what many call MTN UP2U is officially known as MTN Group Share, a specialised service for businesses and organisations.
Here’s everything else the MTN Ghana support team shared with us.
How does MTN’s UP2U bundle work?
The MTN UP2U Bundle enables companies to purchase bulk voice minutes, SMS, and data bundles and distribute them among their employees or members.
This is done through a shared pool or allocating specific resources to individual users. Here’s how it works:
- Organisations purchase the UP2U bundle in large quantities at discounted rates.
- The purchased resources are stored in a shared pool, accessible to all assigned employees, or allocated to individual employees.
- An administrator within the company manages resource allocation, adds or removes users, and tracks usage.
- Organisations receive a monthly reload of their chosen bundles.
How to register for MTN’s UP2U (Group Share) bundle?
According to MTN, organisations interested in registering for the MTN Group Share bundle can do so via these methods:
- Visit an MTN office to register and discuss the organisation’s specific needs.
- Email MTN Business Support at mtnbusiness.gh@mtn.com or WhatsApp/ call 0244308111.
- Reach out to their MTN Business Account Manager to assist with the setup process.
MTN will guide you through the process, including signing agreements, discussing the bundle size that suits your organisation, and setting up your portal access.
One the setup is complete, your organisation or administrator will receive login credentials to the UP2U portal, where they can manage your resources independently.
Note: The MTN GroupShare service is currently on hold due to feature enhancements. Thus, MTN is temporarily not onboarding new customers to this service.
