    Calculation of pre-paid units

    We now have the levy of R230 stuck onto our electricity. If you don't need units and pay R230 they split it and give you R115 in units and put R115 towards the levy. It means that you are always forced into buying unnecessary units. This is aggravating and just a way to get more income. Think...

    Hi Everyone, After the second MTN scamster who tried to defraud me saying something to the effect that someone was trying to do a sim swap on my number and they would have to close down my account, I sent a communication to the MTN fraud department giving them the number. The reply was simply a...

    Short prepaid units from JHB city

    Probably not for you, but for me with the new higher prices it would be about R50 - R300 for the year. But my point is that their calculating system is wrong and anyone buying more than once a month will be losing out. My municipal account is up to date and paid on time. The breakdown on the...

    What sms? I pay an amount and I get a slip with a code to load the units. How can you have debt with prepaid? Prepaid means you pay up front before using electricity.

    Yes in my original post I add tax=vat and the DSM charge which is .06cents per unit over 500 units R291.98+R20.5165+R0.555= R313.0465 +tax= R360. Amount is R313.05 + Vat R46.96 = R360.

    Short prepaid units from JHB city

    These are June prices for both. Purchased on June 13 & 28. My first purchase was 350 units for R683 (350*1.6969)= R593.915+tax = R683 Second purchase was for R360 and only got 137.4 units The way I work it out is 150 units @ 1.9465 =R291.98 This would be in the over 350 unit tier and under 500...

    Sorry, neglected to say the discrepancy was for June. If their calculations are out, then the error will be carried forward to July. Am aware prices have increased for July.

    Short prepaid units from JHB city

    I'm positive that I have been shortchanged units from last month. I can't get any joy from e-mails - think their inboxes are full - and they won't let you post on Twitter. Consequently other people would also receive less units than they've paid for. If you have any helpful advice on who to...
