Now that we knw which countries are comin to the world cup,i think you should include a link on your website were people intending to come to SA in 2010 can apply for a sim/phone while they are stil in their home countries.There should be tailor made packages for the duration of the world cup not the 24months contracts that are available on your website now.The person should be able to get his new cell no- while he/she is stil in his home country,when the person comes to SA his sim/phone wil be waitin for him...he/she wil just walk into an MTN,produce ref no-,collect the phone/sim and start calling home...no waitin for sim activation,data provisioning and all the other stuff.& please make the link available in diff languages,my Japanese friends can't read Ènglish & they are waitin...
 
Excellent idea. I just came back from a trip to Malaysia and Thailand, and would've really appreciated such a service. It's such a pain it to figure all the call costs, packages, network operators, etc. Would be nice to order it over the internet, and just collect it on arrival.

You would probably have to provide a reference number and your passport.
 
Hi there, just an update on this, the marketing department is way ahead of us and are compiling products, will be distributed at the travel agencies as an optional extra, nice!:)

Thats good news... How do you know this? Are you an MTN employee?
 
Thanx 4the update Snakepit,but why can't MTN offer the service themselves instead of travel agencies...Its the core function of MTN to offer communication packages and not trvl agencies,anyone lookin for a communication package will click on mtn.co.za instead of mzanzitrvl.com.

Sorry mate, i worded my sentence incorrectly- it will be offered by us at places such as the travel agencies for instance, obviously thats the first port of call for any traveller so i reckon it made the soundest sense:)
 
ok now it makes sense,and what about online application and availability in foreign languages...?

Mtn has kiosks at the mayor airports selling prepaid phones and SIM cards, but I see your point.
 
Now if they can only attend to the constant billing problems then they'll be all set ;)
