difficulty with terminating a contract that has expired

<p>My contract came to an end with MTN, being of March I went to MTN to serve a one month notice on my Contract and to my suprise i was told that they no longer terminate contract at the stores so i need to call 808 which i did, the lady that i spoke with told me that my contract was ending in Aprill so i need to call again on the 2nd on April. on the 2nd of April, i called again. this time the some guy told me that their systems where down i need to call again later. i tried calling again and i was told to wait on the line, i waited and waited eventually hang up because i was not assisted. i can not recall how many times i have been trying to call the call centre and getting no assistance since then. the wose part is i am now finding myself having to to pay for amounts that i have been long trying to terminate this package that a contract has expired already. i had no intensions of upgrading, and i kept informing them whenever they tried to convince me to renew and when i ask them to rather transnfer me someone i can speak to regarding terminating, they tell me story. i am so disappointing and fed up with the Network. since March i have been trying to terminate this contract</p>
