Charged R8.77 per SMS

<p>I was charged R8.77 per SMS while in the US, for 55 SMSes. They are listed on my itemised billing under 'National SMS Calls', so sent within SA. All were sent to my wife that was with me in the US, so that's not possible. Only feedback I got from Mtn was that I'm liable for the charges with no clarity (ref ********** ). </p> <p> On my billing I was charged R1.10 under 'Roaming Events', which is correct. I need an explanation as I can't be on 2 different continents at the same time. </p>

So I dialled 808 and they can't find the reference number given here. Still no resolution to this. I also think it's pretty poor that I need to phone MTN everytime I want to check up on the status of a complaint. Surely the person working on this can phone me once it's been resolved!
