MTN Telephone numbers as MArketing tools.

Don't buy MTN numbers- they are re-cycled SIM cards and you cannot stop the never ending marketing that comes with your number. Even using the codes to block the marketing, they return the next day. You have enter these codes every day and they still come back. They are less than helpful in dealing with customers- try to speak to a human- its next to impossible. Use 136 Option 1 (SIM swop) then 0 - you might be lucky to get an operator. Pre-paid numbers end up as contract number. Useless.
