MTN offers the iPhone 14 on contract as a pre-owned phone, not a new one. When we checked MTN’s online shop in September 2026, the Preowned iPhone 14 128GB was listed from R449 pm x 36 on Yellow Core. It’s open to both new contracts and upgrades, on 24- or 36-month terms, and MTN’s September 2026 catalogue shows the same R449 price (catalogue valid until 6 October 2026). We didn’t find a new iPhone 14 on MTN.

These are the Voice & data plans MTN showed for the pre-owned iPhone 14. Each price covers the phone and the plan.
| MTN plan | Anytime data | All-net minutes | Monthly x 36 | Monthly x 24 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yellow Core | 1GB | 60 | R449 | R589 |

Source: MTN Preowned iPhone 14 128GB deal page, checked September 2026. Sky Premium Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum were also listed, with 30GB to 200GB of anytime data.
On every plan above, the 24-month option was R140 pm more than 36 months. That’s the device cost being paid off faster.
Monthly Price and Contract Term
MTN’s order summary split the entry deal into R270 pm for the pre-owned iPhone 14 and R179 pm for the Yellow Core plan, totalling R449 pm x 36 (checked September 2026).
- Storage: 128GB only
- Colour shown: Starlight
- Terms: 24 or 36 months
- Contract types: New or additional contract, or upgrade
- Plan types: Voice & data, or Airtime only
Total cost over the term
On Yellow Core, 36 months at R449 comes to more over the full contract than 24 months at R589, even though the monthly amount is lower. Choose 24 months if you can afford the higher payment and want to finish sooner. Choose 36 months if a lower monthly amount matters more.
Data, Minutes and Included Extras
The Yellow plans combine anytime data with all-net minutes for calls to any South African network. From Sky Premium Iron upwards, MTN listed extras such as savings on MTN Home Internet and priority service, and a relationship manager on the top tiers.
| What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Anytime data | 1GB or 1.5GB is light if you stream or use video calls |
| All-net minutes | Match them to how much you actually call |
| Airtime only plans | Flexible, but compare the value against a fixed bundle |
| Sky Premium extras | Only useful if you also use MTN Home Internet |
Current Networks, Retailers or Providers

iPhone 16e, iPhone 15 and pair prices are from MTN’s catalogue valid until 6 October 2026, checked September 2026.
The pre-owned iPhone 14 sits between the iPhone 13 and the new iPhone 16e. A new iPhone 16e was only R50 pm more on the entry plan, so compare the two before deciding. For MTN’s wider device and SIM-only range, see MTN Contract Deals.
Upfront Costs, Fees and Promotion Terms
- Delivery. MTN’s order summary showed free delivery in 1 to 3 working days when we checked. Confirm it for your area.

- Warranty. The warranty period and device grading for the pre-owned iPhone 14 weren’t shown. Ask MTN before you sign.

What to Check Before You Apply
Who the MTN iPhone 14 suits
- New MTN customers who want an iPhone below the price of a new model.
- People who want to control their plan size, from 1GB up to 200GB.
When another option may be better
If you want a newer phone with a longer software life, compare the iPhone 16e. A new iPhone 15 is another step up; see MTN iPhone 15 Contract Deals. If budget is the priority, MTN iPhone 13 Contract Deals start R50 pm lower.
1. Ask about warranty and condition of the pre-owned phone. 2. Compare the total contract cost on 24 and 36 months. 3. Choose a plan based on your real usage. 4. Check whether you qualify for an upgrade if you’re already with MTN. 5. Prepare for credit checks. MTN may assess your credit and affordability, and approval isn’t guaranteed.
