MTN charging for reports

[Cholerappa]

I can't get through to MTN customer care today, I know they used to charge for SMS delivery reports but can anyone tell me if they still do?

Good question

 

[kiepie]

Did they charge for the reports? When was this?

 

[divv]

To my knowledge they used to, not sure if it was only on prepaid or something but there was a stink about it a few years ago..

 

[JK8]

I think they do, and that was in 2000 when I was with MTN.

 

[kiepie]

Never knew any operator did.

Still do charge for it.

Put it this way do they ever give you anything for free?

 

[divv]

So that means you buy a 100 sms bundle and you actually only get 50???
Incidentally is this contract, prepaid or both?
Thanks

Should be a paid service for contract subscribers as well.

This is why MTN phones are set not to ask for a delivery report when sending a SMS. Some phones (my old Motorola V360 included) have this option totally disabled.
