<p>1. Checked my airtime balance (it was +- R40)</p> <p>1. Bought new DATA bundle (pay-as-you-go) for R35 (100MB).</p> <p>2. Immediately received 3 SMS replies from MTN (1 confirmation, 2 spam marketing)</p> <p> One of the spam marketing SMS's contained "send STOP to 30246 to opt out"</p> <p>3. Send SMS 'STOP' to 30246</p> <p>4. Received reply that I have been successfully unsubscribed.</p> <p>5. Checked my AIRTIME balance (it is now 0!)</p> <p> </p> <p>MTN ****! The SMS to 30246 used all R40 of my airtime, and still hasn't unsibscribed me from the unwanted MTN SPAM!</p> <p>I want a REFUND immedediately please, and STOP spamming us with your marketing JUNK!</p>
Note - My DATA balance was correctly updated (I now have +100MB DATA), but my AIRTIME balance was reduced to 0 without making any other calls or SMS's.

Immediate got another SPAM message as well.
"For R19... etc. buy more airtime... "
STOP SPAMMING US!

Thank you for your post.
We apologize for any inconvenience incurred.
We have sent the complaint to the marketing department to remove your details from the list.
The airtime for R40.00 will be allocated to the sim card today.

Thank you for the swift response reponse.
I can confirm my airtime now reports R140.
I am updating my rating to two stars as a result - because half of the issue has been resolved.
If you can confirm that I will no longer receive any more SPAM, I will update my review again.

I still have not received a reply or feedback on the MTN spam issue. Could someone follow this up please?

Sadly (again), the absence of any feedback from MTN again summarizes their attitude toward the average public : incompetant
