MTN service delivery sucks

For more than two months I have been trying to get a SIM Card for a new WiFi device without success. Without the SIM Card, the device will not work, but MTN expects me to pay for a service I cannot use. When I didn't pay for the non-existant service, MTN suspended my cell phone service more than once. Eventually I got my cell phone service switched on again, and I am now again receiving the SMS threats that if I do not pay for the non-existant service, I will be suspended again.

MTN "service" really is so bad that after heavy rains last night, that today no-one in Parys with an MTN cell phone can actually use it. Vodacom works; MTN doesn't.
