I'm so annoyed with MTN I have a top up 200 contract, yesterday they loaded the R200.00 airtime before I could even use it R50 was missing I then called MTN and I was told the R50 is "reserved "? without my permission. This morning I checked and it was showing I just checked again and its gone and I swear calling MTN is useless because the call centre agents are CLUELESS
