Disney+ launches mobile plan for South Africa on MTN

Disney+ has partnered with MTN to launch a mobile plan for the streaming service in South Africa for R49 per month.

The mobile plan includes access to the House of Mouse's full catalogue in South Africa, including its Disney properties, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and general entertainment from Star.


MTN subscribers who pay for Disney+ with airtime, or add it to their bills, will get 500MB of free streaming data per month.

MTN will also offer its customers a Disney+ mobile entertainment pass with 2GB of streaming data for R59 per month.

"Plans are in development for further Disney+ offers for MTN customers," the companies stated.

"Disney+ joining forces with MTN gives South African subscribers another way to access our vast selection of blockbuster films, iconic series and brand-new Disney+ Original titles at home or on the move," said Walt Disney Company senior vice president and general manager Christine Service.

MTN South Africa's general manager for digital services, Jason Probert, said they are proud to enter into this agreement with Disney+.

"Offering Disney+ Mobile presents great opportunities for the future, and we look forward to pursuing many additional features for our customers," he said.
