bis on mtn intermittent?

[entrepr]

Yesterday I discovered my EDGE indicator on the BB had changed to edge, then GSM. Today the same thing happened. First got a 'sim not registered message', then a GSM indicator and only hours later, after another reboot, got the EDGE back.

Obviously BIS services did not work for these hours.

Phoned the SP who said MTN had reported a few problems in the last few days. Anyone know about this?

Today I saw it on a colleague's BB - happened at the same time as mine - and he has a different SP.

Hey @entrepr, I have also been having terrible connection problems on MTN of late! I have a 9900 and mostly on the '3G' setting. The amount of times that the 3G symbol went to '3g' was shocking I could hardly even download a pdf from my email, let alone load any web page. Don't even mention trying to download a 37kb app from appworld. There signal has also deteriated substantially. I live in Primrose area, and 5 months ago, I had FULL 6 bars signal wherever I was in the house, not I struggle to even get 2 bars without having to do hand stands! Very unhappy how it has been degraded month after month!!!

Stupid Bis has been off for the past 6 hours

Off this side also, JHB. Also, no normal 3G connection either. When you call their call centre and choose the option to speak to an operator, you get a voicemail box greeting!

Terrible MTN, terrible!
