Whatsapp for 4 days doesnt take R500(Top Up Cont..

On the 25th of March my account was debited double+ my normal contract rate, I have always paid or being charged more on the contract and will pay cause sometimes my data bundles will be depleted and will only see if I check on *141#. This is a top up contract and I am suprised that on the month of March I was expected to pay R994 whilst my monthly installement is less than R400, after seeing what was debited I did a reversal and called MTN for statement and invoice and the consultant said the extra costs came from data usage but I always switch off mobile data and no one uses my phone but me therefore I need to know how the charges came about cause I was out of data bundles for few days (-4 days). I havent been receiving statements nor invoices ever since getting this contract but would pay as I wasnt suspicious of any irreguralities until the latest bill. Ive tried calling MTN a numerous after the last call but the call Centre is always expereincing high volume calls despite whatever time you call MTN is always experiencing high volumes. I havent received the statement despite the agreement with the last consultant therefore need to know how they got to R994

Hello sophiek,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

We are terribly sorry for the inconveniences that you experienced as a result of this. We completely understand the frustration it causes.

According to our records, the contract mentioned on your post is an open line. The increase in the charges is due to packet switch data calls. Please check the contract that you alternatively you may contact the store where the contract was created so that this matter may be investigated.

We do look forward to improving on the service delivery to you.

Regards
Veronica
