Furthermore, being on the Pulse tariff plan affords you the privilege of enjoying special data bundles such as the 750MB 3-days for N300 and the 1.5GB weekly data plan for N500, as well as pulse Nightlife Bundle and the special IG/TikTok/YouTube bundle. In addition, you earn pulse points when you make voice calls and activate selected data bundles. And you can exchange the earned pulse points for a data bundle, Nightlife Bundle, and IG/TikTok/YouTube bundle.

How to Earn Pulse Points
There are several ways you can earn pulse points as an MTN Pulse subscriber. These include:
- Making voice calls: In this case, you will earn 1 point for every cumulative 5-minute call you make, whether it be national, international, or roaming calls
- Transferring airtime/data via the myMTN App
- Purchasing or gifting daily, weekly, monthly, or IG/TikTok/YouTube data bundles
Whenever you earn a Pulse point, you’ll receive a pop-up message or an SMS message to notify you that you’ve earned a certain number of Pulse points for performing any of the actions we just outlined above.
It’s important to put in mind that the number of pulse points you earn from data purchases or giftings depends on the value of the data you purchased. That means, for example, the Pulse point you will earn for purchasing or gifting N100 worth of data would be smaller in value than what you’ll get if you purchased or gifted N3000 worth of data.
Note that 1 Pulse point equates to N1 worth of airtime balance. That is to say, if you have 100 Pulse points, it means you have N100 worth of airtime balance.

How to Check Pulse Point Balance
Checking the number of Pulse points you’ve accumulated is very easy. To check your Pulse point balance, simply *406*7#. You’d receive a text message containing how much your Pulse point balance is.
