So I bought a 1 gig bundle end of April, expecting it to expire end of June.
Not so, though...
Did MTN change their 60 day bundle expiry window ?

If I understand it correctly, it expires at the end of the next month, not necessarily after 60 days.

So the maximum period could be 60 days, but only if you recharge on the 1st of the month. If you recharge on the last day of the month, then it expires after 30 days (i.e. the end of the next month).

From your screenshots, it looks like you recharged on the last day of April. Should have waited one more day.

Found this on the MTN website.

I'm convinced this used to say 60 days, and now it changed to 30 days.
Sneeky...

Aren't those Vodacom's rules?

Yes MTN changed the data bundles to 30days from date of purchase...... Very sad indeed. Good news is that you can still extend existing bundles by just buying another once off bundle. Now it will just be 30days from purchase and not 60days like before.

yep just got off the phone with these fsuckers. the 1gb data bundle has been selected for this 30 days. the others are still 60 days. they really are trying to lose customers.
