I just won a prize from MTN.

Are you sure you didn't just sign up to some R7 a day thing? I also got the message and cancelled it. It looked way too much like that ringtone popup message last month.

It's a fun competition they are now running:

Nope, I only use the wi-fi

You defeat the purpose of a phone.

Lol at 1MB free data excitement. Lol at thread.

 

[Eskomisaloser]

A popup message said that if i press ok within 30 seconds i will win a prize.

I won 1MB of data

Did you win anything?

So, what are your plans with this life-changing 1mb of awesome data?

I've never made a conventional voice call on my phone since the time I bought it last year, it has an AH data sim (does not support voice) and I use it for data only either over 3g or wifi. Got a secondary cheapy for the rest

1 hour and 17 mins to late to win my 10gb data...

Bloody stupid idea from MTN.

 

[Galactica]

This is what I call winning.

MTN reveals aeroplane winner


MTN's Win a Plane competition drew an overwhelming response, says the company.
A Durban-based MTN customer has claimed his prize in the MTN Sky Win a Plane competition – a promotion launched by the operator in June that spurred online discussion.

As the winner of the competition, Shikanth Bugwandeen had the option of taking home the Sling 4 four-seater aeroplane or redeeming its cash equivalent of R1.7 million.

Well after posting this the 1mb is kla.

 

[Johnatan56]

This is what I call winning.

Want to bet he took the cash?

[HideInLight]

Do an action within 30 seconds?

This is a scammer's dream come true. It's only a matter of time.

 

[Shi]

Missed 20Gig by 3 minutes ... I was using the fone for about 30 minutes in car, went inside PnP for 5 minutes and missed it

Unlucky bud.

Maybe I am jaded, but this irritates me. My screen gets hijacked, while I am typing an SMS, for however long it takes me to press cancel. Silly as it seems, I HATE THAT!

I pay every month, to get my airtime, get my data and SMS's. If you want to run this lovely little "competition" then let a machine
randomly decide who won the stuff and simply bolt it on. Less chance for scammers, less irritation for that person who is hiding under their bed, trying to dial the police because there's an intruder in the house and all of a sudden... PING You have 30 seconds to WIN!!!, YES OR CANCEL.

A split second can make a massive difference. Silly as that example might be.
