WHAT IS A 4G SIM CARD?
Any SIM that supports 4G LTE networks is known as a 4G SIM card. Remember, not all smartphones comes with 4G network features so if you are interested in using the services, you need to make sure you buy a 4G supported SIM.
You should also know that even if you use a 4G SIM in a non supported phone, you won't still get the 4G network so both phone and SIM should support the network in order for it to work. On a GSM-based mobile network like MTN, a 4G SIM card also supports all previous GSM technologies, including 2G, 2.5G, 3G, and 3.5G networks.
That means that such a 4G SIm can be used even if there is no 4G network available at a particular time. The SIM card will simply switch to whatever else is available – 2G or 3G.
SO, DO NORMAL MTN PLANS WORK ON MTN 4G SIM?
Remember, MTN operates 2G, 3G and 4G networks, so your 4G SIM card will work as long as it's inside a 4G phone even if you are inside a village were there is no 4G signals.
Interestingly, MTN has setup their data plans such that all plans work, whether the network you have available is 2G, 3G, or 4G.
Having said that, the answer to your question of whether all MTN data plans work on MTN 4G SIM is yes; normal MTN data plans will work with an MTN 4G SIM card. You have nothing to worry about.
