Migrate at your peril.

I recently had the misfortune of receiving a call from MTN advising that the package my one phone is on is no longer available and must be migrated, so we did this over the phone, when the migration was done I was informed that I would receive the complete details of the migration via email and that there was a cooling off period if once reviewing the migration I was not happy. To date I have not received the details of the migration and as such as far as I am concerned the cooling off period has not started. I have tried to get this emailed to me but no luck as the answer I get is "this package has not been upgraded". That is not what I am asking, in the interim on this new package I keep getting automatically subscribed to services I have no interest in and should I not unsubscribe myself I am charged in some cases over R3,00 per day. I think that once I have reviewed this migration and noted the amount of junk that comes with it I would be backing out as this was not advised during the verbal migration.

Reviewer Update
To date I have had an additional 8 emails from MTN regarding this but I still do not have the details of the package this phone was migrated to. The staff actually seem to be *********** and keep advising me that the package has not been upgraded, I know that but it was migrated, I have had two phone calls regards the migration, both confirming my email address and promising to send me the package details of the migration. I currently receive messages at all hours of the day and night advising that I am subscribed to a service I have no use for and I have to send an sms to unsubscribe before I get charged, the latest message arrived at 2am today. Since it is not possible to deal with MTN and this is contrary to my consumer rights I have now lodged a complaint with the consumer protection council. Perhaps MTN will respond to them.
