Does MTN’s free call packages expire?

The expiration date for MTN’s free call packages depends on which offer you choose. The Akwaaba offer (Magic Number) lasts six months from the activation date. After this period, all standard call charges apply.

However, the Free After One (Nkomode) offer does not expire. It is valid as long as you remain subscribed to the package, making it a convenient and long-term option if you frequently make calls.
