MTN’s roaming deal offers relief to 9mobile’s 3 million users
- 9mobile's nearly 3 million subscribers will now roam on MTN's network.
- The 3-year deal aims to improve coverage and service quality for users.
- 9mobile's subscriber base has dropped from 23.5 million in 2015 to less than 3 million by April 2025.
The partnership between 9mobile and MTN represents a critical juncture for 9mobile, which has been struggling with subscriber loss. While the collaboration may enhance service quality and coverage, it also highlights the challenges faced by smaller players in a competitive market dominated by larger entities like MTN. Future discussions should focus on the sustainability of such partnerships and their impact on consumer choice.
