The Untrustworthiness Of MTN - The New Data Plans by Dygeasy(m): 12:21am On May 17, 2016 |
I subscribed to the new MTN Data plan of 2,000 naira for 3.5gig yesterday. I'm on the Bettertalk plan which gives me triple of every recharge so I got 4,000 naira bonus upon recharge. I did the subscription while still having the bonus intact. Now according to a Customer Care representative when I enquired sometime ago, I was told that if you subscribe to any data plan on Bettertalk, before your data starts getting deducted they would start deducting from the bonus airtime for any internet-related activity. That is however true from my previous data subscription with MTN when I used to do the 4.5 gig for 2,500 Naira. For the past 20 hours I have made calls and used the Internet all of which were charged from my 4,000 nara bonus airtime. Late into the evening, I checked my data balance and I had my full 3.5gig intact and I saw another 700mb for night plan. I disregarded that as system error and went about my own normal business. I used the Internet for a while and about three hours later, I wanted to see if they had started deducting from my data and Lo! I saw I had 615mb left. I didn't download. In fact I made sure I didn't download because I wanted to ensure I used a substantial amount of the airtime to make calls. How on earth did I spend 2.9 gig in three hours? I called Customer Care and they were quoting some nonsensical thousands of kilobytes that I used. My phone is telling me otherwise. No matter the difference in the data usage calculations, it shouldn't be that much. Screenshot attached. This is a huge inconvenience from MTN. 2,000 Naira might be meagre but this is unacceptable. This is not my first time of subscribing on this phone for different data plans. Why is this different? I am not going to accept this. 43 Likes 9 Shares

MTN's call center agents are the WORST in the history of call center agents! Don't even waste your time trying to get compensated or re-imbursed your stolen data because they will keep looking for every possible means to pin the blame on YOU so as not to give you a refund. I've been there, done that. And guess what? My MTN line has been permanently switched off/relegated for more than 4 months now. Etisalat ti take over! Fvck dah shii ![]() 172 Likes 3 Shares |

MTN is a scam,not just you bro but they did the-same with me,except in my case its bb sub for my bold 3,they reduced the 3.5gb @ 1000 bbc plan to 2gb @ 1000 without informing nigerians, this 2gb only have 2weeks validity,so in 2months I have spent over 6k subscribing,I called customer care and was told to hard reset my phone imagine. 10 Likes 1 Share |

I don't believe this one bit. Am not holding forth for MTN but recheck what you subscribed for. Based on their advert I saw today (with Falz the bad guy) they called it Pulse reloaded. So if you not on MTN pulse....magical things could happen. Can we have a screen shot of when you subscribed? The 3gig for 2k would last for 30 days. Why is yours expiring July 2016? No vex oh but let's just properly scrutinize you. Cheers 12 Likes 1 Share |
