Very very poor service - MTN ***
<p>On the 9 March 2016 I e-mailed customer services (see below) after having visited their service centre at Blue Route with my query. In a nutshell, over R1000.00 in airtime dissappeared overnight from my phone and MTN are unable or unwilling to resolve the issue. It is now the 17 May 2016 & not only has the issue not been resolved, MTN now have not responded to my latest request (4 May 2016) at all - to date I've sent 8 e-mails to customer services, the most recent dated the 4 May 2016 to which I have only ever received automated replies that are never followed up. </p> <p>I hope that by taking this step with hello peter, someone at MTN will sit up and take note....I would like to know what happened to all my airtime?</p> <p> </p> <p>To whom it may concern.</p> <p> </p> <p>I called in at the MTN Blue Route, Tokai branch for assistance regarding a large amount of airtime that has “disappeared” from my phone. I requested itemised billing at the store but they were not able to help me and promised to investigate and call me back. I’ve not heard from anyone.</p> <p> </p> <p>I recently went to Dubai for a short visit & made one very short call (10 seconds) from my number whilst there. I had approximately R1250.00 airtime when I left for Dubai & just over R100.00 when I returned. I was in Dubai from 28th Jan to 24th Feb 2016. Approx R1150.00 in airtime has vanished. I used a local Du pay as you go sim card whilst I was in Dubai.</p> <p> </p> <p>Please investigate and advise urgently what has happened here.</p>
Thank you for your post.
We are terribly sorry for the inconvenience that you experienced as a result of this. We understand the frustration you have faced in your attempt to obtain results and answers.
The system shows that the airtime was mostly used on roaming internet connections on 2016-01-28 and 2016-01-29. Please be advised that overseas networks charge for data roaming in increments and rates are much higher than MTN charges in South Africa, using data while roaming can cost you more than R 150.00 per MB. We advise that you switched off all automatic updates on your phones, devices and laptops when roaming.
Rest assured, it is not our intention to displease you. We look forward to improving on the service delivery to you and to restore your faith in us.
Regards,
Ayanda
