Opt-out is impossible

I did not subscribe to a premium service and it impossible to opt out

The opt out number (dial *464*970#) does not work. The support (dial 135) is useless. They say they are offline and cannot do anything. Emails to customer support are ignored. Emails to CR*****queries are answered (hurrah) but unfortunately useless as they refer you back to the more useless customer support.

Avoid MTN there are other operators with competent support

Good day Johann,

Thank you for taking the time to raise your concerns and affording us the opportunity to address the same. Kindly accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Please note that there are different content charges. One way of removing them is by dialing *136# and follow the MTN play option until you get to manage subscriptions. The second way to remove the said charge is by logging on to your browser from your device. I have attached the below instructions in order to remove the charge:

Q - How do I cancel a subscription?
Visit the ‘My Subscriptions’ category under ‘My MTN Play’ at WWW.MTNPLAY.CO.ZA on your mobile device. Select the subscription and deactivate.

Kind regards,

Ishie.

Complaints Management Team.

Best regards,

JP
