Subscribed to services without consent

Today I received an SMS saying thata subscription to "vrjuice" at R5 per day would be renewed. I never requested such subscription and have never previously been notified of it. The unsubscribe process given did not work, nor did the standard USSD code menu. I was finally able to unsubscribe using the MTN Menu app. I am disgusted that MTN has pushed a subscription service on me without consent and made it so difficult to leave the service.

Good day Terrence,

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,

TL

Reviewer Update
The response from MTN fails to address the core issue. MTN subscribed me to a paid service without my consent. How does the company plan to correct and atone for this ********* behaviour?
