Missing airtime and data

Good day,<br> <br> This serves as a second complaint about the same issue - missing airtime and data, to be honest, its been happening for a very long time. I chose to overlook it, however i can no longer do so. <br> <br> The first time i complained (via MTN call centre) about my missing airtime and data, i was told my complaint had been document and a ref number was issued. Days later i followed up using the ref no, however i was informed that the MTN agent who had documented my complaint had not done so properly. So basically sorry for me. <br> <br> Today my complaint is about the same issue, missing airtime and data but more especially airtime. I recharged at 10h45 and almost immediately it disappeared - no calls made, no apps open. I then recharged again - same thing, 1 call that latest all of 3min with a 75% discount. But still my airtime disappeared.!!!! I recharged with substantial amounts. <br> <br> This is day light *******, please can someone rectify this mess ASAP.
