For the past 2 to 3 months MTN network is congested. Each time I try to load it always shows ''CONGESTION TRY LATER'' . I lost an appointment with a customer cos I refused to call on the fixed time. This is cos I have been trying to recharge my phone but to no avail. I have purchase a zain sim cos of this. Pls MTN officials check your network very well before you loose your customers.

Where in nigeria do you stay?.

Here is what i do to recharge.
Save the credit card number on your phone as a contact in the format you use to load it e.g *555*548246482456#
Make sure you save it with a name that makes it on top of your contact list to make it easier for you to access it.
Then keep trying it many times without pause until it loads.

@wacky, Exactly. Thats what i do too.

Lol, yes oooo what will u call a network where you hav to fight war jst to load recharge

So dnt u knw d card hav already been loaded immediately u load it d 2nd times while it ll dislay
CONGESTION, PLS TRY AGAIN LATER


So wen u retry it at night, u wil notice dat d crd hav ALREADY BEEN USED BY U

not rite now cos hv tried loading more dan 5 tyms n i stil get d same msg n my balance stil d same

It's over 2 months now i recharged my mtn sim

I thought I was the only one that experiences that thrash. Its not everybody that experiences it cos a have some pals that make gest of me mercilessly any time a battle to load a recharge card. I also use the same approach used by many i.e saving the recharge pin in my contact. Thats why we derived a new name for mtn (Empty N). MTN, The worst connection. This should be their next slogan.

Lol

2 bad! Never liked dat ntwrk 4rm d getgo
