MTN Mobile Electricity

There are things successful and productive people use, and the MTN Mobile Electricity is definitely one of them. This is mostly applicable in Nigeria where there is no steady or epileptic power supply.

The MTN Mobile Electricity is currently made to serve small families or for private use due to its limits. I hope to answer most if not all the questions you have in mind to ask about this new product/service.

How much is the MTN Mobile Electricity?

There is a one time commitment fee of N 26, 000 upon joining this service, this is its launch price with limited stock. But that is not all, this is because you are to pay for its full price within a 5 years plan, making it a lease purchase. Within this period you have full warranty from MTN to repair or replace any damaged part not caused directly by you or a third party.

Yes, to enjoy its electricity you will have to credit your system for a full month.

Assuming after three months of you not paying the service will be blocked. And the system must be returned to the point of purchase.

How true is the statement from MTN “24/7 Electricity for all”?

Well, as one who just bought and is using the service, it’s not truly 24/7 electricity. You have to depend on the level the sunlight charged it for the day in other to use it well at night. Even though you can plug some like phones during the day and it will be charging your phone while it charges the inverters battery. But if you start adding your fan or TV or laptop it will start using the battery and once your battery is below 5% you can’t use it till the next day when the sun charges it up. So for maximum use, once its morning you leave it to be charged by the day’s sun light. Once it’s fully charged towards evening you are now ready to use your electricity for the night with your TV and laptop on, then your phones charging for hours.

My view

So it’s not really 24/7 Electricity but it gives you control over light and its way cheaper than fuelling a generator, no noise, no fumes, no maintenance. Remember it’s for mostly private use or a small family use, and good for small business that uses an appliance within 60Watts. And talking about the 60Watts, it’s not all TV’s it can carry. It has to be one with low Watts, and the only one I have seen is the one used at the MTN store I bought mine “polystar”, this TV uses only 35Watts from the overall 60Watts. You have to know your watts once using this service cause if you load an appliance that’s way bigger, it will indicate system overload and it’s subject to damaging the system. So what are you waiting for, go buy and join me as we enjoy this wonderful Mobile Electricity.
