MTN are conn artists

Upon opening my MTN account I was shocked to see that I had being charged R7200!! I immediately called 808 for this was definitely a mistake. I was informed that I had excessively used my mobile data. I then told the guy that this is not possible as my data contract is capped at R200, he confirmed this. He then informed me that although I am capped at R200, if the downloads have not completed, data usage will continue until it has completed, and I will be charged, even though I have an existing limit!!! <br> So what is the reason for a limit if MTN doesnt use it??!! I also have a 8ta data contract and once my data is finished, thats it , no more internet. I will definitely be cancelling my contract with MTN. Beware of MTNs ****s!!!!!
