Airtime and Data vanishes

As a MTN contract user, yesterday I noticed my balance was 0 airtime and less than 1 MB data, and since am at work connecting to WIFI. This surprised me since I know I had airtime and data, any how i decided to load airtime and converted half of it to data. Few minutes after I noticed am back to 0 airtime and data gone. I called MTN to inquire about this usage and I was transferred to one department to another, and later told that am subscribed to something, and given steps to resolve that, but then when i follow those steps. Am being prompt that am not subscribed to anything, with patience I call 808 again and this time an agent stated that am not subscribed, but to resolve my case I asked for a data billing report and he says I should call after 2 hours since MTN system is slow and take that time to pick up my usage and waiting after 2 hours to be told that I should wait for 13 days, just to know what happened to my data and airtime. Now am even sceptical to load airtime, am quitting MTN, it sucks and its bad network along with its service....

Hello bongz911,

Thank you for your post.

We are terribly sorry for the inconveniences that you experienced as a result of this. We completely understand the frustration it causes.

Please note you have no subscriptions on the number. Data validation can be requested after the close of your invoice on the 13th.

You need to ensure that the cellular connection is switched off on your device when using the Wi-Fi, or else your devise will connect via the cellular network instead of the Wi-Fi which will incur charges.

Regards
