MTN Black Friday Discussions

Any deals where the shareable data is allowed to use the lot, this nonsense of limiting shareable data is crap

Those days are long gone, they only allow you to share the base data on any contract now which is normally a fraction of the total data.
Apparently resellers where exploiting the high datashare contracts to resell data and they closed that "loophole".

The Yellow Trader has not been updated on MTN's site yet.
But mtndeals.co.za has it. Linky.
Sidenote: BF deals thus far are quite underwhelming. Hoping for deal sweeteners in the last week of November.

Anyone with an e-mail contact at MTN? Just cancelled a call to 135 when it went past 25 minutes without answer.

the retentions ppl can do it - did it for me very recently.
submitted cancellation of existing contract.

ppl at retentions contacted me soon enough - told them i was about to take a contact with vodacom (also emailed them a copy of the vodacom deal as well as the vodacom approval of my application)
told mtn i was not interested in the "streaming" data - nor limits on sharable data - i wanted a straight up data contract without "streaming" or sharing limit.

within an hour i was offered a clean simple data contract.
accepted the offer & it was active with 10mins or so

And how much is the total data with this contract and how much of that can be shared via datashare?

Them telling you one thing is often totally different from what you actually get. Retentions is notorious for that, it’s run by a 3rd party bunch of scammers and their only goal is get you signed up so they can get their commissions, once that's done they don't give two shts about discrepancies or problems with what they sold you.
