MTN tablet contract deals pair a tablet with an MTN data plan. The first check is the same for every tablet contract: the tablet must be a cellular model — Wi-Fi-only tablets have no SIM slot.

Is the cellular premium worth it?

Only if the tablet is used away from WiFi regularly. If it lives at home, a Wi-Fi tablet plus tethering from your phone avoids both the cellular premium and a second line.

Size the data

Tablets consume more than phones — larger screens mean higher-resolution video by default. Check the allocation against realistic use rather than assuming a phone-sized bundle suffices.

Check the support window

Tablets sometimes carry shorter software support commitments than phones from the same manufacturer. Worth asking about separately rather than assuming it matches.
