Constant dissapearance of Airtime loaded

<p>To whom it may concern,</p> <p> </p> <p>First and far most I have to indicate how much I regret using MTN as my mobile network, I have two issues with this network provider.</p> <p>1. There is no direct call centre to assist consumers on issues that they cannot resolve themselves, I have created a voice message so that when I cannot be reached on my mobile a message can be left for me to follow up on the missed call, currently that set up is not working I still receive miss calls notification but the functionality to allow people to leave a message is somehow not working.</p> <p>I went to the MTN Centurion Mall branch to seek assistance in this because there is no call centre number to assist consumers with such issues they also told me they cannot assist, I dont know how the hell am I supposed to get this issue resolved if the people at the branch cannot assist me, I cannot change this number because this number is my point of contact for all my important egangements.</p> <p> </p> <p>2. I am on a prepaid account with that said I constantly load aitime for mobile calls, I use airtime to buy Data, it is my understanding that I am in control of how I want to use my airtime for the past weeks it has'nt been the case instead when I buy the R15.00 data bundle I get a notification stating that my airtime balance is reserved for data.</p> <p>Please advise who authosies MTN to notify me what to use my airtime for?</p> <p>What if I need to make calls with the balance airtime, I cannot do that because MTN has reserved that airtime for data under who's authority.</p> <p> </p> <p>I have been having this problem for months, if my airtime is not reserved for data it get convereted into free minutes , I am FRUSTRATED, ANNOYED and DISGUSTED by MTN incompetense to assist its consumers,</p> <p> </p> <p>Please advise the cause of the above mentioned issues and also advise how do I get my voicemail sorted.</p>

Good Day Happiness

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.

Kindly be advised that we have activated the voicemail option on your device as per request. In regards to airtime reservation, please note the reason this happens is when there are too many active sessions running on your device. The airtime then gets reserved in order to maintain and complete all sessions, this will happen even if you have data. Kindly note once you reboot it temporarily closes the sessions hence you will find the funds less as it will then deduct the funds based on the session that was running prior to the reboot. To avoid this from happening please enable the flight mode on your phone for a few minutes and disable it, this will cancel all running sessions and airtime reservations on your device .

Rest assured, it is not our intention to displease you. We look forward to improving on the service delivery to you.

Kind Regards,

Zukiswa
