This followed the success of the “Tik Tok Free” that was launched last year, giving customers free 5 minutes for Tik Tok upon purchase of 15mbs daily data bundle. As a growing entertainment channel that is fun yet data-intensive, MTN’s Tik Tok data bundle that gives its customers 24hour unlimited access to the platform for only UGX2,000 is a move that has been welcomed by many users of the application. Tik Tok is the new way to consume bite-sized fun videos for the youth. The social media platform is used to make a variety of short-form videos across genres like dance, comedy, education, Finance, cryptocurrency, fashion, cookery, fitness, and health among a plethora of topics. The videos that have a duration from 15 to 60 seconds and the nature of their vast and unpredictable content is what makes them more appealing.
