MTN Data prices Wow

[isie]

Went on to MTNs website to check the data prices today to get a screen shot for a buddy as he is on a 75MB and getting 100Mb so just needed to show him nothing special its the current pricing structure but when I saw this I was a little shocked:
mtn - Internet Bundles

I know its only temporary but its pretty decent comparing to cell c its actually great



Can MTn Rep confirm if this is correct and for how long is the promotion

So looks like a fail or false advertising as not available on MTN active or via USSD:




Can some one please investigate

 

[R13...]

Wow, that's very good. Prepaid or contract?

 

[kingrob]

Very good pricing! Someone at MTN made a mistake and is gonna get fired.

 

[R13...]

Comes with 24 months albatross around neck.

Wow, that's very good. Prepaid or contract?

AFAIK both add on adhoc and recurring if ligit and not a stupid error

Not really that great. CellC still kicking their asses. Bought a R49 cellC bundle for the daughter last nigh and got 100minutes+100sms's+100MB data for R49!

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

Their prepaid is daylight robbery though.

Crap cant confirm if i can load this bundles on MTN active as MTNSP website is down.

Scratch that its up now but doesnt look like it works on contract


Sheesh MTN!

 

[isie]

Cell C is basically half the price for everything below 2GB:

It is only available to MTN TopUp and Contract customers, loaded as a fixed recurring subscription bundle to be incorporated into the package deal and cannot be removed/cancelled from the customers’ account. Customers who have taken up the iPhone packages will not be able to add additional recurring bundles. However these customers will be able to add once-off bundles.

Guys if I'm not mistaken those last three price are contract prices for a 24 month data contract not data bundles you can add to your normal voice contract and pre paid.

So basically a typo.If MTN were to really give those prices they would make a huge noise about it.The greedy scumbags,so glad I left them for cell c.

Either you are also confused or we are going to hold you to this,seriously I will buy an MTN sim to get this deal if its true so don't make me buy it for nothing.

Are you saying those last three prices i.e R69 for 500mb,R99-00 for R1GB and R139-00 for 2gb are available DATA BUNDLES that we can add on a normal voice contract and voice prepaid adhoc or recurring?

 

[kingrob]

this no mistake Kingrob its reall as you see it and no has been fired for it.

Thanks Lazola, appreciate the feedback.

Glad to see MTN back on MyBB!

I tried following the link (www.mtn.co.za), but could not log in - was told account was blocked due to too many incorrect password attempts. Funny, could log in at active.mtn.co.za. So I phoned 808 and was told:
1. The special does not exist - was stopped months ago. (This goes against what MTN-Lazola said above).
2. I should go to mtnsp.co.za and from there to active.mtn.co.za. But as mentioned above, the special is nowhere to be found from there.


Can MTN-Lazola please advise?
