sorry if this has been covered before - i can't find it in previous posts. my prepaid MTN BIS expires on 28 March and i've loaded R60 airtime which i'm trying to convert to BIS. when i enter *141*11# the only option i have is to enter "1" which is "activate Blackberry" then "activate BIS" and it keeps telling me i already have a BIS account. please does anyone have the correct code? ...... BTW MTN are these codes on your site? tks
 
I think it will be deducted and renewed automatically once your current month of BIS expires. In other words, it will stay active until you terminate or have insufficient airtime.

EDIT: If I understand the T&C page, that is exactly what happens.
To activate the BIS or BISBES service, you must have enough airtime balance. When a customer’s subscription fails due to insufficient airtime balance, the BlackBerry service will be de-provisioned.

On Vodacom you get two options - you can choose 1 month BIS, or you can choose auto-renewal monthly BIS. I prefer the month-to-month option where I renew my BIS myself.
