What time does MTN night express start?
MTN night express starts at 12:01 am and ends at 04:59 am. That gives people a total of 5 hours in which to use MTN night express data. To clarify things, the bundle starts at midnight and ends in the early morning hours. Those are times when most people will be asleep. Not many will be awake at those hours, hence MTN can afford to offer data at affordable rates.
How does this compare with other networks?
The great thing is that all mobile networks in RSA give their customers night data in one form or the other. On Vodacom, the package is called night owl. The table below compares MTN night data with other night data offerings from other networks in the country.
| Network + Package | Starts | Ends | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| MTN Night Express | 12:01 am | 04:59 am | 5 hrs |
| Vodacom Night Owl | 12 am | 5 am | 5 hrs |
| Telkom Night Surfer | 12 am | 7 am | 7 hrs |
| Cell C Nite Bundle | 1am | 7am | 6 hrs |
As you can see, the most benevolent is Telkom. You get 7 hours of use. CellC follows at 6 hours. MTN and Vodacom are the same at 5 hours of use. In terms of start times, all networks have 12am as the start times, save for CellC, whose start time is at 1am.
Who is the MTN Night Express for?
Those are the MTN night express data times. But who is this for? Well, night data is for everyone that is concerned with how much data costs in South Africa. The majority of people in the country fall into this category.
Mobile data can be a bit expensive, and people are looking to make savings. You may be a student needing to make downloads. In that case, you will need night data to make them. Many student’s have a lot of assignments to do and having extra data means they can do research without having to look for extra money for data.
You may also be into music videos and such. To download those things, you need to have MTN night data. But to be frank, it’s probably better to get Telkom, Rain or some other ISP. It’s not really viable to make your downloads using mobile data.
It’s important to point out that you need to balance how you use night data. What you don’t want to do is to end up spending all your night time awake. That’s a recipe for disaster. Everyone needs to sleep. That’s why we noted that there are better options in terms of data to these MTN night bundles.

I have got a couple of accounts that I connected as data share beneficiaries and I told them only to use the night express data not the anytime data, but to my surprise they tell me they are unable to connect at night during the ie during the stipulated duration of 00:00 to 05:00.Is it possible that the night express data is not applicable to data share, or I need to do certain settings to make it possible. Reply to my email and thanks in advance
Hi. We reached out to MTN and the following is what they told us; “Hi there Network Busy, thank you for reaching out to us. Please note that when you have a number enabled for data share, all types of data will be available to the number including night data. All that needs to be done is to add the recipients’ numbers on their datashare profile in order to enable the recipients to have access to the data share. This can be done on the MTN app under more options on the below tabs to access the datashare profile.”
