Special MTN Data Offer for Boston Students

Terms and Conditions

Please note that data requests will only be sent to MTN every Friday. Due to volumes, requests for data must be completed by Thursday close of business (5pm) each week. Failing to submit the online form by this deadline will result in your request moving to the following week.

Students may purchase data as many times as they would like, and each bundle will be valid for 30 days from the date the bundle is activated on your number.

PLEASE NOTE: You need only request data via this portal on your first/initial application in each new year. MTN removes all students from the USSD system during January of each year, therefore students must do a ‘first application’ in each new year. Once you have successfully received your first data request, you will purchase future bundles in the year via the MTN USSD Portal. See instructions below.
