MTN Black Friday Discussions

Good evening
I would like to know if this is the best deal I'm going to get from MTN (see attachment).
I have the P9 lite from the January 2017 Black Friday deal still. Currently on 90GB (50GB day, 40GB night) data and 650mins package.
I need at least 50 minutes and 10gb data per month, and a new device as my P9 Lite is giving me issues. I would like to spend up to R400 pm if possible

Please assist, and thank you.

My 60+60gb data didn't fall away, I'm actually still using it for datashare, I've also barely used my prorata 500gb data and the latest allocation.

I don't actually need 500gb a month but an extra R200 to get 3.33 times the data over the R299 150gb deal is a no brainer. I have got a few people lined up that will contribute to the R499 and I'll add them as a datashare, datashare just needs to work..

That was my thinking as well. I guess MTN knows this, which is why Datashare is currently not working. Datashare enabled on such a high data contract makes no sense to them as it would potentially circumvent a new client sign up.

My bill for December is also incorrect. Should be R499 but is R881.57

Definately something buggy with their accounting system. I'm also sitting on R863 for December whereas it should be R499. I dont think this has anything to do with Prorata payments as I already payed R449 in November when I still had the 60+60 for R299 and took out the 500+500 around the 20th of November
 
On Twitter I just got told that all the data provisioned is promo data and therefore cannot be shared. This is bullshit. I share my data to 7 sim cards. Now 7 devices have no data when they're not in wifi range. Only person who can fight this is the person that said that they recorded the call from retentions when upgrading.
 
500 + 500 @R499pm for 36 months
My contract data refreshes tomorrow, will wait and see if I can Datashare, if not I will upload the contract recording.

all calls are recorded in a call centre
 
Did anyone who emailed Jacqui about the datashare issue get a reply?

Is there anyone else we can email?

Get a new sim card, go to a store and ask them to activate dual call. I dont know if any prepaid sim can work or if you need to go get their "special" contract sims

If you look at this thread 4 years ago between 30 Nov 2016 and 9 Dec 2016. You will see the hoops I jumped through to get it activated lol

On a side note, I don't get charged for having the Dual Call service activated. In one of the posts 4 years ago I mentioned there was a charge for it. Seems like they did away with it.

If you thought Data Share is a problem, mentioning dual sim is taboo at the mtn stores.

You have to use the R110 odd contract sims for dual SIM.

Has anybody tried "Dual Call" with the 500gb+500gb package as someone on the thread suggested (can't remember who, and don't feel like scrolling through messages again :X3:)

I phoned and asked about this. Was told that this is for Calls only and data cannot be shared.
 
Please share if anyone has setup Dual Call.
I went into a MTN store and phoned MTN to setup.
Could not get any assistance. Phoned MTN, the agent told me that Dual Call is for voice only and data cannot be shared.

Data share is not working on my 500 + 500 GB BF deal.
Dual Call will be fine as I just want to share the data on my home LTE router.
