No customer service

My phone was suspended although it is on debit order and all payments up to date. I sent an email on MTN Active and two weeks later still no response. Spent hours on the phone trying to reach someone/ANYONE at Customer Service. Listened to that message relay 172 times( enough to put a sane person in a mental institution). No response. No service for 4 days. Went into the MTN store only to be told to 1. Use MTN Active. 2. phone customer service ( haha) 3. Sorry we can't help MTN is on strike and has been for 4 weeks!!!<br> <br> Two days later my phone miraculously begins working. No correspondence/ explanation. <br> <br> By this time I have explored the option of taking my contract to Cell C. Excellent and helpful staff. <br> Do the people at MTN not realize that by messing their customers around we will walk. No customers equals less MTN staff needed. They will be looking for jobs soon. Fire the lot of them there are so many people who would love to have a job. Ps. Still waiting for a reply to my email query!

Hello charmaine60,

We are truly sorry for the breakdown in service and for any inconvenience caused. It was never our intention to have dissatisfied you in any way.

We've now perused your account and see the reason why your line was barred for outgoing communications was due to you having exceeded your credit limit on the account. The barring was then lifted after the invoice dated the 11th of June 2015 was finalized.

We will suggest that you make use of our live chat service. Please click on the link below, type in your cell-phone number, click on next and wait for the chat window to appear:
