I am not an MTN client but make sure you check whether you are signing a contract which allows the company to change their prices as that scheme is a 2 years contract. also check about the cancellation fees if you decide to end your subscription.
Also in the page you gave us it says 3 months of Free calls

The 3 months free calls correspond to the inclusive data volume of the selected MTN Mobile Broadband plan

there are NO free calls.

thank you for your feedback... this url links to 3 months free internet connecting to mtn's mobile broadband for 1,5 or 25GB with 24 months contract. Its important what you said about cancellation...

if you are not a downloader and you are a cyta customer, give a try to their 200mb package for mobile internet. if you create a mygroup with 5 people you get 100mb extra for free. I thought 300mb were not enough and that I would need more than 5gb a month but I don't even use 150mb a month. I am just browsing and using skype, msn and google talk. of course that's for "on the go" as I have a broadband connection at home.
I pay 9 euros per month. also have in mind that the mygroup bonus is not immediately effective but on the 1st of the next month. be careful not to use more than 300mb because you will be charged for extra 100mb even if you used 1 or 5 or 90mb and that's an extra 3 euros per 100mb

There is no contract with this.

I think MTN has something similar which costs 8 euros per month for 250mb but I don't know anything about it as I am not connected with them.
and as a last word, be very careful with MTN contracts. A friend of mine was about to sign a contract for blackberry services with unlimited data
that's what mtn website shows

What does it cost?
BlackBerry ® Monthly Fee €17 incl VAT with unlimited data usage*.


that's what is hidden in their terms in another page of their website.

The Unlimited BlackBerry bundle is only available on MTN network, is subject to a fair use policy (1 GB per month) and covers only the use of BlackBerry service. MTN reserves the right to suspend the Unlimited BlackBerry bundle if the fair use policy is breached.

i think all operators have the same issues in unlimited term.... .. i used to have vodafone in Greece some years ago and the unlimited for calls was 1500 minutes.. [i think is the same right now too, for all operators..]
We must be careful in contracts with all operators..
Did your friend have any problems with the signal or data service? i m curious to know because MTN promote her new campaign with all these offers and says that you find excellent signal everywhere in Cyprus..
