MTN pay as you go also called PayG is a service that lets MTN subscribers browse with their airtime without needing to subscribe to a data plan.

The rate for browsing with your credit on MTN is N3/MB. This means that for every MB that you use, you get billed N3.

Like I said earlier, using MTN Pay as you go can be expensive especially when downloading. So naturally, most people would want to know how to opt-out.
