How to Buy a Smartphone with MTN Pick and Pay Later

Quick Summary

  • MTN Pick and Pay Later allows you to get a smartphone now and pay in smaller amounts over time.
  • Eligibility depends on your MTN usage and MoMo transaction history.
  • Registration is done via *170# without visiting a store.
  • Phones available include Samsung Galaxy A05, A15, and A25.
  • Interest rates are fixed and displayed before purchase.
  • Late payments lead to phone locking until dues are settled.

What Is MTN Pick and Pay Later?

MTN Pick and Pay Later is a simple way to buy a smartphone without paying the full amount upfront. If you’re an eligible MTN Ghana customer, you can pick a device, pay part of the price immediately, and cover the rest in smaller payments over four or six months using MTN Mobile Money (MoMo).

Think of it like buying a school bag on credit—you pay a little now and the rest later, but you still get to use the bag immediately. The same applies here: you get the phone now and pay in installments.

How Much Interest Do You Pay?

The total cost of your phone includes a fixed interest rate, which depends on the device and payment plan you choose. When you request a device using the MoMo shortcode, MTN will show you the exact interest amount before you confirm.

What Happens If You Miss a Payment?

If you don’t make your payment on time, MTN gives you a 24-hour grace period to catch up. If you still don’t pay, your phone will be locked, making it unusable until you clear the outstanding balance.

If you’re looking for a new smartphone but can’t pay the full price upfront, MTN Pick and Pay Later is a great way to spread out the cost while staying connected.
