Hiya South Africa!

Opera and MTN are giving away 50MB of free browsing every day to all South African prepaid customers using the MTN network in the country. No charges apply to you.

At Opera, we are all about making internet access available for everyone. The web is a wonderful place with almost infinite content and opportunities to learn. Every image you see on Instagram, every friend you add on Facebook, and every video you watch on YouTube comes from the web. 

Opera wants you to keep enjoying all this content wherever you are. We want you to visit your favorite websites, read the latest trends, and access your social media without worrying about buying data or running out of it. Therefore, we have partnered with MTN in South Africa to bring you free data everyday so you can browse the internet. 

This is how you get started with free 50MB 

If you are a prepaid MTN customer, and you have the Opera Mini browser installed on your smartphone, you can claim 50MB of free browsing starting today. All you need to do is send the word “Free” via SMS to 41142. No charges apply to you.

After sending the SMS you will receive a confirmation message from MTN, which is your cue to start browsing for free. All you need to do is open or download the Opera Mini browser and start enjoying fast and free internet at your fingertips. 

The free daily data bundle covers browsing only within Opera Mini. The data package does not include newsfeed reading, video streaming or downloading files from the internet. You will be charged out of your normal data bundle for this. However, the free browsing and search applies when visiting any website or speed dials you want.

Smooth browsing experience with the best browser!

Opera Mini is a small, fast and powerful browser. It comes with unique features such as data compression, a download manager with offline file sharing capabilities, and a built-in ad-blocker. 

In the newest version of the Opera Mini browser, we’ve revamped the user interface (UI) of the browser to make it look beautiful, light, and clean. We did this by improving the aesthetics of the browser with the goal of making your everyday browsing sessions more enjoyable. We’ve introduced fully redesigned features, new iconography, new colors, and new themes that make Opera Mini look better than ever!

Save up to 90% of your mobile data 

As you probably know by now, Opera Mini has always looked after your MB’s when browsing. Opera Mini is capable of saving your mobile data thanks to its unique data compression, a.k.a. data savings mode. 

When you enable the data savings mode in the browser settings, you can save up to 90% of your mobile data. This happens because the data compression in the browser is capable of preprocessing and reducing the amount of data from a website before it reaches your phone.

By saving data, Opera Mini gives you a faster and longer online experience, allowing you to spend more time browsing your favorite stuff without fearing running out of MBs wherever you go. 

Now you have all the information to browse for free with Opera and MTN. Tell us which features you enjoy the most from Opera Mini? We are always happy to hear your comments 🙂
