Activation failures

15Oct I was assured by MTN activation centre that *** would be activated within 24 hours.<br> 27 hours later the message on the iPhone Plus still shows no service. I did the normal things, re-insert the sim card, rest all settings. Still zilch. <br> <br> After enormous effort I managed to talk to someone in an MTN support centre, I was informed that the *** could not be found on the system but that another number *** had been activated Nice number if you can get it - but of course \this number is not available on the MTN network"!) . <br> <br> Eventually I talked to a \""supervisor\"" who was none the wiser in sorting out the problem. He assured me both the old & new lines were activated but would escalate the problem to some superior technical service that would communicate either on my existing cell nr: *** or via this e-mail address. No communication has of course been received. Therefore"
