SMS's not working

I have been unable to send SMS's the last few days. Receiving sms's is working perfectly. No use in trying to contact the call centre as they are beyond ***********.

Dealing with MTN is one of the most frustrating experiences a person can have.

No specific error message. The message just fails to send on my iphone. I only noticed it about two weeks ago. All numbers are affected not only certain ones. I’m using airtime to send. All incoming messages works fine, just outgoing messages. Please resolve this urgently

My outgoing SMS's still aren't going through. It keeps on failing even despite trying #33*0000*16#[CALL] I have been to 2 of your branches and every time I have to leave irritated as they aren't able to help. Your staff just plays around on my phone without any success. They are just trying to look busy! My software is up to date and the problem is on your system!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
