Strange, I took out my contract on Black Friday 2020 and when I did the upgrade check now it says my contract expires July 2023. It should be expiring this month.

Same here.
Not to concerned cause it was a good deal in 2020 and its still a good deal.
I called Retentions now and asked for the options available to me and he just said the deals will only be available on Friday. Perhaps i should have mentioned that i would like to cancel

Same here as well. Only problem I see if we can only upgrade mid next year is that there will be no BF deals midyear?Same here.

Any indication of the above is for existing and non BF holders or existing only?
Strange I didn't. I only got an SMS that reads
"MTN Black Friday is coming soon. From 18 November get exclusive deals as an MTN customer and SAVE. T&C apply. dial *135#"
so I guess I have to wait until the 18th

But what is strange is that we effectively have a 32 month contract if it only expires in July. Surely it can only be either a 24 month or 36 month contract...

Might be one way of getting less BF holders, forcing a traditional contract on us when we have to upgrade after the 32 months then?

Or could this possibly be a 36 month contract with upgrade eligibility after 32 months? I don't remember the details from BF 2020.

My package details: MTN_Made_For_Me_XS-36 Months-ATPR10G-FANMR500-ATPR5GB-ITBL_SIM Only_BF
That makes sense then. Probably, early upgrade few months prior.
I agree. For 24 month contracts I think you can upgrade 2 or 3 months before the end, so I guess for 36 month contracts you can upgrade 4 months before the end of your contract. July 2023 would fit nicely with 4 months before a 36 month contracts taken in Nov ends. (Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov).

With Telkom you can upgrade any time. I upgraded from a 40 + 40 GB for R149 to 80+80Gb for R199 after 12 months of a 24-month contract. It might be the same with MTN, I don't know.

I think after 3 or 6 months with MTN, however it is still at their discretion, it will incur a fee for either a downgrade or upgrade and/or any device fees if applicable.
Did you asked about any special deals.

Is this data strictly for Telkom towers or are they All Net as well?
Would be nice to get this as a back up.

found this
I have the R149 with Telkom on a month to month for my laptop for WFH. Still looking for something decent from MTN for my phone. Currently on the My Choice 20GB BF 2020 deal, which was a 36mt contract, do you think they will allow us to upgrade now, what will the penalty be for the upgrade.

That 100 GB for R200 is perfect for some holiday data on the move.
