BE AWARE: MTN taking money from Prepaid account

Hi, In the past few weeks I noticed that MTN deduct money from my prepaid account everyday. They deduct from R5 up to R20 per day depending on how much airtime I've got. I do not have any active content services or WASP. I am switching to Vodacom after more than 15 years with MTN.

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for taking time to raise your concerns with MTN.

Our subscriber terms and conditions do not make specific reference to content charges. MTN enters into contractual relationship with WASP’s (Wireless Application Service Providers), and acts as an “enabler” to the WASP’s by making the network platform available and providing a payment gateway. In addition MTN requires that such WASP’s be members of WASPA in an effort to bring about a self-regulatory measure. MTN does not have relationships with the content providers, they however have direct relationships with the WASP who aggregates such content on their behalf.

For any dispute regarding Wasp content subscription/ deductions, please lodge a complaint directly with Waspa either via www.waspa.org.za or on ***.

Warm regards,

Mike Ramaboka

Hi Mike, I phoned your call centre and found out that it was not WASP, but your guys subscribed me to MTN Dating and MTN Watch tv services. I have never requested any subscription. Who subscribe me to MTN dating and watch tv? They are not WASP content. How many people out there your team subscribing *******ly to those contents? Regards, Emile
