Stay away from MTN!!!

My phone was booked in for a repair under warranty. Due to a small chip where the phone was dropped months ago, MTN chose to cancel the phone's warranty and I have to pay R330 to get my phone back. What a convenient way to make money from your loyal customers!!!. For 15 years I had two contracts with MTN!!! Vodacom here I come
