Does MTN provide free access to Wikipedia?

Is it true that MTN provides free access to Wikipedia from cell phones? I have seen the following website claiming that it is possible since 14 February 2014. If this is the case, it is amazing and thanks to MTN. It will help learners to access Wikipedia from their cell phones when they are looking for information. What about the other cell phone companies?

Teachers and learners, please test this and let me know. You can use the email address at the bottom of the page.
