Feedback to MTN's reply - Re: Jean REQ:***

Hello Jean,<br> <br> Thank you for your reply. I do know how data charges work, but my point is data charges spike up without any good reason on my contract. As you mentioned normally it is R450-500 but then why do I get over R2000 p/m bills when I don't do anything different on my phone?! This is the issue I am trying to bring to your attention here. Perhaps my phone is hacked, or there is a mistake in you billing information, or maybe something ******** done on your (MTN) side? MTN itemized billing report is bunch of nonsense and can't be trusted. Besides, even if I do use data isn't it what smart phones are for?! Why are your data charges so unreasonably high? Why people with other network providers can use data (watch videos, download apps, etc) without being overcharged, but MTN customers have no such privilege? Nonsense! <br> <br> In any case I do not want to continue with MTN contract and I am not going to pay ridiculously high data prices you charged me again in May and June 2015! And I demand reimbur*****t of all other overcharged months I paid end of 2014 and beginning of 2015. Please bring this issue to attention of your head office before any legal actions will be taken.<br> <br> Regards,<br> L

Hello LianaDee,

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.

According to records, on your current package, your are allocated 150MB per month only. Any usage over and above the 150 MB is billed at out of bundle rate. For the month of May your data usage was 731.76MB over and above the allocated data bundle and the data purchased.

Kindly note that the out of bundle rate is R0.99 per mb, that is 731.76MB x R0.99 = R724.44. The charges are valid and there are no credits due.

We would like to assure you that we are actively working to improve our service levels.

Regards
Veronica
