Hi kris

Sorry to hijack the thread, but how long did you wait for your 5800 after placing an order as I'm currently waiting for more that 2 weeks?

you have to call them to activate it...it will take up to 24hours but it's usaully done in a few hours ... you can also try logging on to mtn active and try activating the sim from there...this might also take a bit of time, i suggest you call 808 to activate ...hey that rhymed :) :)

oh for those of you still waiting...hang in there...i'm sure mtn should get stock soon...

About the same here... ordered from MTN Direct on 2nd of March. Hopefully, should get it today.
 
I ordered mine the Friday before last, got delivered today (MTN Connect). Apparently a problem with their printers... couldn't print the documentation which the courier needed to bring to me. Weird!!!
 
You have to call to activate? Gotta love that one... Took a collegue of mine 3 weeks to get his new contract activated. Sat on 808 from my phone for about 2 hours a day...

Welcome:rolleyes:
 
For f%@#! sake MTN, I sat on my office line for 10-15 mins (083 123 9622) trying to get my SIM activated. Had to hang up in the end. At R2 per min, I'm not happy to pay hundreds of Rands to get the contract activated. Will have to try again later. Surprise, surprise... didn't wait nearly this long to place the order in the first instance!
 
use 083 808 if you calling on a landline not 083 123 9622 ... or try to activate it yourself by registering on mtn active ...
 
Hmmm, just a thought, once the phone is charged and ready for action, can I use the SIM to call 083 123 9622 and is it free of charge? I'm pretty sure 083 808 is a no-charge number though.
 
I'm also getting errors messages when I try to open the MTN Active site... anybody else experiencing such problems?

5 working days.


Yea, I also sat for a while on my CELL C phone trying to get an operator. Eventually hung up coz it was eating too much of my money. I emailed the dude that did the contract for me. And he is gonna sort it out.
 
Thanks kris860911... could you perhaps provide the e-mail address of the rep @ MTN Connect?
 
I went to the MTN store on Tuesday to upgrade and got my phone Saturday. No complaints so far, it is a awesome phone.
 
My store still says that their stock is only coming in at the end of the month.....
