Got the router today, getting between 40Mbps and 80Mbps depending on where in the house I put the router.

Only got 3 or 4 out of 5 bars signal strength here, the tower is about 5km away.

I have no doubt that I'd be getting the full 100Mbps if the signal was better.

Going to build a little BiQuad 11dbi antenna, that should sort it out.
 
Is there anyway to check what your contract is supposed to be allocated?
These BF contract documents don’t mention that anywhere,just the contract id is referenced.

I use my main sim in a router, it's pretty limiting with the app that needs the sms auth

No the app can authenticate via the router, it somehow detects it and allows the log-in.
Thats on a Wi-Fi iPad, I never need any login credentials and if I logout it will ask if I want to resume the router SIM card login.

Has anyone with a business account received any good deals?

I've got about 6 contracts due for renewal and the consultant that emailed me is offering me crap, I currently have the following

2 LINES: 50GB + 200min @R529pm 40GB + 200min @ R429 2 LINES: 50GB DATA ONLY @ R220 1 LINE: 100GB DATA ONLY @ R329 1 LINE: 10GB + 250MINS R279

He's currently presenting contract options ranging from R879 to R1149. The lowest proposal is R399, suggesting a switch from the 50GB lines to a 150GB plan, which isn't something I need.

If anyone has similar packages, please share your deal codes.. It has to be on a BUSINESS account, so business deal codes please.

I did my 2 business lines today

Line 1: 50gb + 150gb = 200gb anytime data per month. R299pm x24months

Line 2: 50gb anytime per month. R199pm x24months

50gb is data-shareable on each line

Pm me if you want deal screenshots that MTN Business will recognise and approve. Also happy to share cell number and email address of the business consultant who assisted me.

Please share the consultants details.
 
Got the Mobile internet gold - R149 deal with code: 2023031 CT 00009 this morning.

On the DebiCheck Mandate an installment amount of R894 is mentioned. Where or how is this calculated? It does not seem right?

Unless DebiCheck refers to the credit amount MTN is willing to extend to?

Just make sure that deal comes directly from MTN and you aren't speaking to an MTN person on FB or social media. I had attempted fraud when making a complaint with MTN. A very official MTN looking FB complaints manager talked me through the complaint and made me a decent retentions offer. Then did a Std Bank debicheck, then asked me to pay the upgrade fee into an "MTN Retentions" ABSA account, which is where I got suspicious.
Seems it's a double con. The make you pay the upgrade fee into an account purchasing airtime for themselves, and use your docs and the debicheck to take out fast loans in your name.
I managed to block everything hopefully, but suspect they got the loan and I've been doing damage control for a few days.
Just beware of very convincing scams. She blocked me when I insisted she call me from an MTN office number or give me hers.
 
A trend, which I have not seen mentioned here, is that MTN have put in big datashare controls. All deals only offer 50gb or 100gb shareable data and the bigger allocation is labelled promo, which is non shareable.

On my one deal I took out, shareable is 50gb, promo is 150gb = 200gb for R299. On that R399 600gb deal, only 100gb is shareable, while the extra 500gb is promo and non-shareable.

Clearly they are playing the DSTV card and trying to boost contracts by restricting sharing. I can see a lot of people being caught out by this change - those peeps who sign up without realising that bonus data is not shareable, only to find out when their family members run out of data, yet the main sim still has tons of promo data left.

MTN know they have the advantage over Vodacom with the datashare (Vodacom had better BF deals this year), but they're now putting the squeeze on.

I upgraded to Mobile internet gold for R149. Data was allocated but don't see minutes showing on the app. I can still make calls though. Not sure if anybody has had a similar experience.

This particular package of 60gb and 200min was a bit difficult to get (2023031 CT 00009). I found that only the guys at ignition was able to assist with this deal. The rest of the retention crew was of no help.

How did you get to them? I also tried retentions and they say there no minutes on that deal. Have seen a few posts about the same issue

When I called retentions last Friday, I was transferred to ignition which at the time I wasn't aware of. Then for some reason my call was cut. So when I called back and asked to be put back onto the same agent, I was told it was ignition who was handling my upgrade.

This particular deal code was only available through them while the rest of retentions had no idea about this deal. Mind you it was a good couple calls I made with retentions to know this deal was only available through ignition.

You can try and ask them to put you through to ignition for assistance. Hope this helps.
