MTN data ripoff - need to speak with a human!

I loaded 20GiB data on an MTN prepaid SIM . This is for a small business: email, web browsing: NOT da******ensive activities like streaming, etc. 20GiB usually lasts me a month. However, I loaded it Tuesday 5th September, and have been struggling to connect ever since (however, I didn't use it at all over the weekend). Today (Monday 10th) I took the SIM out of the WIFI router and put it into an old phone to check the balance: everything is zero! The worst thing is that there is no way to speak to a human at MTN, so I find myself having to complain here. I was formerly with Telkom Mobile, and found them a pleasure to deal with. The only reason I changed was that I was having connectivity issues in my area.

So I have allegedly used up an entire month's of data - R899.00 - is 5 days, despite the fact that the connection was spotty at best? And it wasn't used at all at the weekend?

I've just thrown my MTN sim away. It was fun chopping it up ☺ I will never, ever do business with MTN again!

Sorry. I was frustrated by not being able to speak with an actual PERSON at MTN, so I've thrown away my SIM card. I am also disappointed that it took you so long to reply to my message here on hellopeter when posts that came after mine were rep**** to timeously.
