<p>On Tuesday evening 1GB of data was used up when I logged onto my Outlook e-mails on my laptop via hotspot on my phone. 3 x e-mails downloaded with attachments of approx. 150kb, yet 1GB of data was used up in literally 5 minutes. No apps were open, I wasn't even on the internet. MTN's resonse is oh it is backround apps, there is nothing they can do about it and I simply had to buy more data. What is of grave concern is the fact that I use my phone as a hotspot all the time at home as we do not have a Telkom line due to unavailibity of ADSL ports andNEVER has my data been used up like this. I don't even use 1GB data in a month. How is this possible??? MTN just says not our problem , there is no way they can check if there is a problem... and I, the customer simply has to purchase more data....ow convenient for MTN!!! </p>
