I am really tired of the poor service from MTN

I have not telephoned MTN about this problem. I have made the decision to write a review on this platform instead as I am not going to navigate through their long introduction of many different numbers to press for a particular department, only to be informed that they are "currently receiving a high number of calls" and I have to be patient. I have received a sms message from MTN at 1:10 this morning, informing me that they have suspended my ability to make outgoing calls due to non-payment. However, my MTN account is paid every month on the 21st of the month through a debit order (a very inconvenient date for me, but I was not provided with any other options by MTN). That debit order did indeed go off on the 22nd of September. Which means that I did pay for the month, unless MTN now wants me to pay twice per month. If this is the case, I have not been informed accordingly by MTN as I do not receive any account statements or invoices. I do receive a sms message once in a while, which states that MTN has sent my monthly statement to some weird e-mail address that does not even have the symbol "@" in it. They do have my correct e-mail address as I have updated my personal information at an MTN store about three months ago. I am actually convinced that their excuse will be a computer glitch. This is, however, not an excuse that I find acceptable as a computer cannot think for itself, unless they are now using AI technology, in which case I am very nervous about my personal information that MTN has access to No, a computer usually executes a demand as a result of human intervention, either inside MTN or outside, either on purpose or accidentally. I am really tired of the poor service that I regularly experience from MTN. So tired, in fact, that I am even hesitant to upgrade my contract with them as I am then forced to use their services for the next 24 months.

Reviewer Update
MTN is simply ignoring my review and request for assistance. It is clear that they really do not care about their customers at all. In desperation, I have now decided to phone them at last. After literally holding on for 20 minutes, listening to very irritating music and repetitive advertising, my call was still not answered. How do you force a company, that you have been with since 1997 (28 years) to take you seriously?
