MTN is just insecure and it will cost you.

<p>So if someone gets hold of your contract phone, they can make changes to your contract by simply dialing *141*5#. There is no authorisation required from account holder, no verification of person making changes, no confirmation of changes. It is just this simple!!</p> <p> </p> <p>I am now sitting with a R1500 bill because some idiot took my phone (Had temporarily disable phone passcode) and knew exactly what to do and did just that. For a country with so much crime one would think that MTN would not take lightly the security required to make changes to ones contract. But hey MTN does not care about your security. Why then do they even require you to setup a PIN to access your account if this is not even in place?</p> <p> </p> <p>This is absolute nonsense and they should revise their security policy and when they eventually do I will no longer be a subscriber and this relationship we had for over 15 years is over.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thank you MTN for costing me an arm because of your ill security!!</p>
