Pay for Airtime via ABSA internet banking but Airtime not received

<p>I purchased R60 of airtime for cell-phone; ********** on<br />Friday the 19th of May @ 09h30. I received the SMS from MTN saying it<br /> was purchased however I do not have any airtime loaded onto my phone.<br />I have not made any phone calls or used it up as data as I have been at home<br /> recovering from a hip surgery for the last 30 days and have barely left the house . I have vox phones at home and do not use my phone for calls.<br />Please refund the R60 money into my bank account asap. This is the<br />second incident of purchases not going through and I am extremely unhappy<br />Furthermore ABSA queried the mater with MTN (reference ********** ) and received feedback today saying the transaction was successful yet I had no airtime and had to re- purchase more airtime on earlier this week,<br />this is extremely frustrating and plain theft in my opinion</p>

Reviewer Update

Just to keep you in the loop. This matter has still not been resolved 3 months later. R120 spent on airtime (in 2 purchases of R60) - I am very dissappointed in ABSA and MTN. I have in the interim received an reply from MTN about a month ago via Hello Peter , to "reload the missing airtime" however their 3rd attempt has still failed and I stillnever got the airtime. I have subsequently ported my number to Vodacom! Never and never again. Frankly I feel the same way about the way ABSA and the way that they handle their customers. I feel very sad. we are clearly just another brick in the wall :-(
