What are the requirements for a turbo net SIM cards and how much does it cost
There are no requirements to get an MTN turbonet SIM card. The price also varies depending on where you’re buying it from.
Please I bought one fibre network from someone buy I don’t know how to install it can you help me out
MTN’s fibre broadband isn’t portable. You can move it when you relocate. So, if someone gave you theirs and you don’t live close by, you’ll have to get a new one.
Either way, we recommend contacting MTN for further details. If it’s possible to install it, they’re the only ones who can do it for you.
