MTN SA is the most useless cell phone provider I have heard of. In June 2018 I was billed R300 odd for a supposedly music app I registered for. This was disputed and I was told it could not be reversed, but they could stop it. (I am very aware of the commission MTn makes on such wasp deals - makes you wonder why they can't reverse it.
This month (Sept 2018) I received a notification that I used up all my data and should recharge ( I am on contract and have never had to recharge. I logged onto MTN Active to find that I have been billed R423.77 for PSD Calls (Packet Switched data calls) - I must add that I have never been billed for this before. Upon calling the call centre today, they advised that I used up all my data and the PSD calls was for the data I have used up. I have not switched packets and have never been billed such a thing when I previous used all my data. The lady was most unhelpful and I seem to get the feeling that she did not know much herself and just wanted to get rid of me off the call. My contract expires next May and I will definitely consider moving to a new provider. In this day and age companies should be fighting to keep their clients. Maybe MTN does not need my business. I will be sure to share my experiences with my friends and family.
Good day Kim,
Thank you for taking the time to raise your concerns and affording us the opportunity to address the same. Kindly accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Please note that PSD calls and data calls are one and the same thing. It is impossible to use a smart phone without using PSD or data. As per the history on your account, you are charged for PSD every month and this appears as data charges on your statement.
Kind regards,
