MTN - JUNK STATUS

<p>I have been trying for the past 3 days to get through to speak to a call centre agent for MTN, with absolutely no success. The voice recording has been saying since Sunday, 2 October 2016 that they are receiving high call volumes, which I can tell you now is bull ****! The phone call is cut off at times and one is just not able to speak to any human being working there! Patetic to lie to your clients like this!</p> <p> </p> <p>hat is happening MTN are you closing down? Please tell me so that I can change to another service provider before it is too late!</p> <p> </p>

HI Peggy

For some reason I am also having trouble with getting phone calls. and this morning i received whatsapp messages even though all my data was finished and I had no airtime ... this does not make sense and further not your excuse that there are high call volumes received at the call centre. I just don't believe it! Sorry, but I am frustrated and annoyed with MTN, whom I have supported since cellphones came to RSA.

Further I have loaded data of R25 (200mb) just to get a message saying that it will only be valid for 1 day. I have not loaded any airtime or data since 2 October 2016 so that I can sort this out with the call centre!!!! but even to date I have not been able to get through to the call centre.
