Pathetic service!!!

6 calls to 808 today, between 8h00 and 18h00. I've run out of data and I try to load a weekly 2gb for R99. Can't do this because apparently I have a usage limit of R500. I try to increase this myself via USSD and the MTN Business App, but I'm not successful. FIVE calls to 808 later....I'm still told by agents that it's done, when it isn't done!! Two agents advise that they have loaded the 2gb weekly for me. As at right now (6pm) I still don't have the data!! I had to buy 100mb from my FNB app just to get onto the data network. Meanwhile, my unbilled balance has increased by R250 - showing I am charged for data which I have not received!! Thinking a "team leader" would be able to identify the problem, I called a 6th time - Melvin / Marvin was audibly annoyed from the second he had me on the line - not equipped to manage situations where clients are frustrated! He has a lousy attitude and cannot string together half a sentence to ATTEMPT to offer some helpful information, it was cleary a bother for him to even investigate where what could have gone wrong - PLEASE pull our call, I beg you!! And then train him or replace him with someone competent!! All I managed to get from MTN is reference numbers ********** 23 & ********** 47 & ********** 8.... Can't WAIT TO CANCEL!!!!!

Thank you for your post.

We sincere apologized for any inconvenience incurred.

Kindly be advised that the spul limit was changed to R700.00.

The request was sent to the technical support to confirm if the 2GB bundles was allocated to the sim card, once they confirmed this was not loaded the account will be credited for the 2GB weekly data charge .

If you require to cancel the contract before the expire date, early termination fee will apply. You need to contact the 808 call center to transfer your call to the retentions department to assist you with the early termination fee.

We do apologized for Malvin behaviour

We are waiting on feedback.

Kind Regards,

Alice van der Merwe

Alice - where is my data? Customer needs data, that is the issue at hand, address and resolve it to avoid credits and cancellations - it should be an easy enough resolution. 3 days to receive 2gb, from a telecoms company. Why???

Please also check the SPUL limit on all your many systems, because according to my app and USB service, it has not been increased to R700. It is still R500 - I cannot manage any aspect of this myself, highly frustrating when nobody at MTN can manage it wither. Where does this leave me and my R1500 per month? Better spent on prepaid, I guess. Clearly thus failure is happening on your technical back end, stop using CRM has your point of reference, because it is giving clients flash information and hope!
