I have a contract phone with MTN. I only used the phone x2 month and is not working anymore. Every time I try to use the phone I get a message that says " Connection problem or invalid MMI code." I went to x3 different MTN shops on 5 different occasions and they all gave me different versions of what they THINK is wrong. Some told me that I need to do a sim-swap which will cost me over a R100, ON WHOSE EXPENSE? I called customer services and spoke to Siphumelele ref no : ********** 0172 on the 30/07/2018 and was told I will be contacted within 5 working days, I am still waiting. I am supposed to be getting R100 airtime, which I am forfeiting. Am I going to reimbursed? I am paying every month for something I cannot use. I am beyond angry with this people. All I want right now is to cancel this contract as I am getting no joy at all.
Thank you for your post.

We have escalated the complaint to our business solutions department to see if they can assist with the Connection problem or invalid MMI .
You may contact them as well on 1555 from the sim card, place the sim card in a another device when calling them.
We are waiting for feedback if they can assist with the error code. We have send the request as well to the back end technical team for assistance.
We have passed a credit for 2 months for the promo fee charge due to device not in use. The credit for R159.39 will reflect in 2 days on the account.
