MTN changes data usage rules?

Still waiting for Vodacom to come around...

Oldest bundle should be used first when the new month arrives.
 
Should always be use first what expires first.

Either Vodacom's 1000 monkey's on 1000 keyboards are still busy coding the permutations, or Vodacom believes it is not in their best interest to do so.
 
Wait, there are people who still don't use Cell C for mobile data??
 
I don't see the problem with this, makes perfect sense. Vodacom's data rules suck.

Contractually this is WRONG, we must deplete the bundle we're contractually obliged to provide ou with.

According to Fairon, the majority of MTN’s customers either buy multiple recurring or multiple adhoc bundles.

I'm the author of this piece. There was actually a lot of back and forth between me and MTN on this, with me mostly asking variants of "are you sure about this?"

In the end, Fairon is their nominated spokesperson for this issue, so I included the comment MTN provided.
 
What I'm curious about is that last billing cycle I subscribed to a 2GB bundle. I used it all up, but since it's valid for 2 months, are my 'out of bundle' rates calculated at R0.19 per meg (as they do with a 2GB bundle), or do they revert back to the R0.65 I usually get on my recurring 75mb bundle?

On a related note, I checked what CellC's 'out-of-bundle' rates are - seems it's always R0.15 per meg, regardless of bundle size or even if you don't take out a bundle. Getting outta my MTN contract of 10yrs+ as soon as it ends.

As far as I know the out of bundle rates only apply to recurring bundles not once off purchases...

It depends. I am on the iPhone 5 Straight Up 200 contract and their rates are 99c a minute out of bundle. But I just bolted a 500 meg bundle on at R75 so now I am all good and back to 15c a meg. Cell C - the power is in your hands.
 
All these complex billing rules are totally unnecessary.
Data bundles should never expire and contract bundles should accumulate indefinitely.
You've paid for it so therefore it should be valid till the day you die.

It's all just a big fat money making scam.
