Hello esack,

Thank you for your post.

We are terribly sorry for the inconvenience that you experienced as a result of this. We completely understand the frustration it has caused.

The system shows that you signed for the MTN Choice 25 minutes open line package including 50MB and 50 SMS bundle at R39 per month. Once the monthly provisioned is used up, you are then charged for the extra usage. On the invoice dated 2016-02-13, you were billed for extra call and data charges.

To prevent your number from exceeding your monthly subscription, please dial *141*5# ok and select option 1: Manage Usage and follow the prompts.

Rest assured, it is not our intention to displease you. We look forward to improving on the service delivery to you.

Regards,
Ayanda
