If you love bulk data at a favorable price than the usual data bundles by major telcos in Uganda, then Africell’s Don’t be cheated and MTN’s Gaga Wednesdays have been on the run for some exciting offers in the middle of every single week. MTN’s Gaga Wednesday bundles in particular have been able to run for more than the stipulated hours, of course with a little hack of purchasing any data bundle and only expire with that new purchased bundle expiring but that is no more. The bundles are now valid for 3 days after purchase.
Given the pricey data bundles these days, using Gaga Wednesday bundles is one way of saving some extra shillings as they fluctuate between 4GB,3GB or 2GB offered on the MyMTN app every Wednesday, but still less than they would cost if we go by the conventional data pricing.
However, as users were busy complaining about the changes in packages offered every week, the Yello telco has now made the bundles valid for 3 days in the same fashion as Airtel’s 1GB for 3days package.
Y'ello our esteemed customers, please be informed that moving forward, Gaga bundles will be valid for only 3 days, up to 6AM on Saturdays.
You won't be able to extend the bundles using daily bundles or any other offer. This only applies to new Gaga bundles bought starting today. pic.twitter.com/mWSmFkncY6
