Another ***** up at MTN

I went to MTN on the 11th of March 2016, launch day of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. I booked the phone 3 weeks in advance to ensure I get stock and that I get registered for the VR Gear Headset. On launch day I went to collect my phone and I was told that MTN would register me for the headset. Now, it's 3 weeks later and all of a sudden I'm told that I was supposed to complete the process on my phone. I sat in the store, asked the person what the process is regarding the VR and she said that MTN would send my info to Samsung as I qualified for the headset. <br> <br> When I phoned them last week to ask what's happening the person I spoke to said \Yes well, it's you word against ours\". And when I phoned again now, the only answer I got \"I assumed you knew\" and \"There is nothing we can do now\".<br> <br> I ordered the phone, I qualified for the headset and now because this person failed to tell me the process is done on my phone via Samsung Rewards, I can't get my headset.<br> <br> Please tell me what you plan to do about this as I've been *****ed over a few times now with so called extras I'm supposed to get with a contract. I've always just let it go but I've reached my limit now."

Hello Johan Naude,

We are truly sorry for any inconvenience caused and for the breakdown in service received.

We can confirm that all customers needed to complete the process of receiving the VR Headset through the Samsung Rewards programme as the offering is directly from Samsung through all network providers.

We will suggest that you make contact directly with Samsung to get information of getting the VR headset without having to complete the process through the application. Please copy the link below into your web browser and select the option to speak to a customer service rep:
