Night Data Not Working on MTN South Sudan? Fixes
What the night data offer is
A night bundle is a data pack that you use during the quiet hours of the night, when the network carries less traffic. MTN South Sudan calls its version the Midnight Bundle. Because it is limited to night hours, it is usually better value per gigabyte than a normal daytime bundle, as long as you can stay awake or schedule your downloads.
The code to remember
| Service | Code |
|---|---|
| Midnight bundles | *100*1*6# |
| Social media bundles | *100*1*5# |
| Monthly bundles | *100*1*4# |
| Share data | *100*18# |
Dial the midnight code from your MTN line and follow the list. The menu shows the sizes that are on sale and the price of each. Pick the one that suits your plan and confirm the purchase.
Night bundle time window
Night bundles work only inside a set time window that runs through the night and ends in the early morning, around five o clock. Data used outside that window is not taken from the night pack. Check the exact start and end time on the menu before you buy, because the window can be updated.
Night data usually has a short life. Plan what you will download before you buy, so the pack does not expire unused.
