Is this legit?

I got a message from "MTN" (MTN141) saying:

"Y'ello! Recharge today and get 500% your recharge value from MTN. Offer valid till 15-JUL-14. T&C's Apply Opt Out: Stop to 30246 (Free)"

Sounds too good to be true. Recharge with R5.00 and see.

Fake.MTN wouldn't ask you to opt out of anything by smsing a WASP number.

There used to be a place on WASPA that you could enter the number and get the info. It's no longer there

edit: use this place - http://www.smscode.co.za/index.asp

Actually seems legit

I also get this and it is legit. It's also damn irritating

So if i recharge with R120 ill get R720?

There might be a catch like 30days expiry and MTN to MTN or internet usage only.... That is why you see T&C's apply.

I can confirm it does work but it wont let you buy data bundles and it only lasts 7 days, also it doesnt stack IE, I loaded R60 and i got R420 but when i loaded the other R60 it didnt boost it.

That is still a lot of free airtime. 7 days of free MTN to MTN calls.

I think its pure airtime, which means i can still use the data @R2/MB.

IF you have no data bundle loaded
