MTN Black Friday Discussions

[Crush]

Yip - I have tried the sim in multiple devices, reboots, different APN's, something is broken on the back end

Wait a while. They just haven't processed the data bolt-on package yet. Same happened with me last night. Upgrade was processed and I got various smses. Then the data SMS only came through about 2-3hours later and data worked fine.

Any new customers tried their luck with the deals ?

It's been 48hrs. There's definitely a problem. No data connection and the myMTN app still shows the line being on the 2018 BF package but next upgrade date is 2023

@hidden is this the same thing? i was hoping for 24months..

dont use data share, just need more data for the family for youtube facebook etc etc

 

[Cos19]

Yes. Linked to the same number. If my phone is off, the secondary sim should ring (never tested it in the 4+ years Ive had it)

Would this allow you to have the same whatsapp on 2 devices?

 

[ejacob25]

Is that a second sim on the same contract?

Edit: Found this after some googling - https://www.mtn.co.za/Pages/DualCalling.aspx. Didn't know this existed, awesome stuff

I'm trying to activate this on my contract however none of their consultants know about it I'm being transferred from one department to another, will email customer care hopefully they know about it

 

[MidnightZA]

Do you by any chance have this on a data only contract? Thanks

Nope. I'm on a Made for Me package

Would this allow you to have the same whatsapp on 2 devices?

I highly doubt it

Hi guys

Quick one. I need your help!

I'm in a 2016 and then 2018 BF deal.

Is the 500gb for R499 deal still available and what number do I call to get the deal.

I went to the MTN store and they don't know the deal...

Thanks
Wall

You need to go to retentions ask about the 500gig and 100 night deal

You should be fine .. i got an sms that the deals would be available until the 6th or 9th dec. Don't quite remember which.

 

[dlevine]

9th.

No the Sims have different numbers

I’ll confirm once 100% done - waiting for some forms.



I’m on Telkom prepaid, porting to MTN contract for the 550 minutes. Telkom is a non event for BF deals.



That’s often the problem - no-one is on the same level *especially* on Black Friday. I’ll confirm once I’ve gone to the next step.

Only today did I get a new subscriber agreement form with a request to also attach my ID.

Still a work in progress...

 

[cenredash]

Can cancel anytime as is a sim only contract. Cost to cancel is R499
My deal is 500GB Anytime + 500GB Night Express
Can data share 400GB

There is a penalty with these.
I asked the consultant champion. Its 2x monthly payment plus the outstanding balance for the current month.

My debit order just went off at R1065 Not the R3000 I saw at the beginning but still not the correct value, so much for them fixing it.
