MTN Black Friday Discussions

Can you pay your contract bill in an MTN store?
What other options are they, can you pay at any supermarket tills or online?
 
Anyone else getting connected to "MTN8 wafa wafa". My speeds still seem normal but am just curious what this connection is as it is normally "MTNSA (LTE)".

It's just cell ID info or whatever it's called, it changes to GoBokke or something when the boks play, it's meaningless

OK, thank you. I guess I haven't noticed the GoBokke or similar one which is why I became curious.
 
It is only 40 or so more days to 2021BF and I have not heard anything on BF2021 in general (from general retail). Wish I could keep it that way.

For those on the worse BF cycle (the one that followed the R150/50GB/200min cycle) have you been contacted over any upgrade deals? Not an upgrade, I am looking to port my Telkom number and trying to get a feel of whats on offer.

I have this notion that airtime value still disappears from the mtn sim.

Got a databundle/linked to datashare.

I have blocked all wasps. Optd out for obb. Etc. i have done all that.

Can any1 confirm that airtime still disapppers for them.

I don't follow, these are data only contracts?

A very late update because the whole process was one I’d rather forget…but I managed to get the 500 minutes / 15GB / 50 SMS deal on 3 new lines. I had to fight for 6 months though!

As a consolation they gave me special pricing so I can’t complain (except for the crazy amount of spam calls I get since switching from Telkom to MTN).

I got similar deal for 2 of my lines last year:

Line 1 (SIM only): R199 x 36 months - 550mins, 15GB, 50 SMS's

Line 2 (SIM only): R249 x 24 months - 650 mins, 120GB, 50 SMS's


Both of the above were upgrades from BF2016 / BF2018 contracts.

Well what seems to work with them, is to ask what offer they have, if they call you and then tell them sorry not good enough, I need more data then what you currently offer and at a better price point, got a 150/150 for R150.00 offer, said cool deal, but not looking to upgrade right now, as my other contract will be due for renewal in April and I am willing to hold out till then. They weren't exactly thrilled with that idea, as they have been nagging me to upgrade sending quite a few emails and calling me once every few months.Was hoping they offer 240gig anytime data again for R349.0 I got 2-3 months back, I probably could have if a pushed a little more.

So yeah if you do speak to some one, be polite and the agent might just be a little more forthcoming with regards to retention deals, as they do try and sell you the best deal for their pocket, you will be willing to settle on, I wouldn't say it is a scummy tactic, but rather I think they have quotas on how many of the better deals they can sell in a set period, it wouldn't surprise me if this is indeed true, push a little and see what happens might get lucky.
 
120gig/120gig plus modem for R409.....eh not bad.... Mtn is getting desperate for me to upgrade, however I am holding out till April.....maybe black friday has some thing special. If this was 240gig/240gig, and sim only would have taken it on the spot.
