MTN is copying vodacom now![]()
My point is this "But they copied them" argument is retarded.wasn't MTN Zone released before Vodacom's similar product?
MTN is just fighting back with enhanced discounts.
They get a "free" phone with their contractPay as u go people spend much more wads of cash on buying airtime than some contract people. Maybe that is why the contract people get nothing again...

After more than 10 years with MTN.. I won't be reneweing my contract again. If their PayG customers are more important then I'd better find me a different network that values their contract subscribers.
I think contract customers do get a better deal overall, because contract call rates are much cheaper than undiscounted prepaid call rates. On prepaid you are very unlikely to see heavy discounts during peak periods.
Something to note, you cannot port from an MTN contract to an MTN pay-as-you-go account.
According to MTN's responses to both my telephonic and HelloPeter enquiries, their systems would need modification but more importantly, their company policy doesn't allow for this and "while being in the process of being changed" isn't happening at a rate that suits the consumer (I've been waiting for 1.5 years for this.)
