MTN Data Technical Thread

@Slayerzn - try ginggs Mobile Data Monitoring Application - search this forum - it blows the MTN dashboard away and it's way quicker and smaller.

(why doesn't the Edit button work??!)
 
Can anyone tell me what it would cost me to sms someone overseas that is on int roaming?
 
No data provision on my number

Hi There

I have a pay as I go sim card 078512**** and it seems basic data provision is not setup on that number/sim because no matter what I do or what settings I try I cannot connect to the internet.

I have tried on my D900i with gprs/wap and also on my USB E220 Huwaei data modem. It gets to authentication and then says connection failed. My other pay as I go sim card works just fine. 078315****

I purchased a 500MB data bundle on the 9th of February 2009 and have not been able to use it. And time is running out to use it :(

The call center 173 option 5 claim it is a network issue yet my other MTN Pay as I go works fine.
They have also informed me they cannot refund me the cost either and yet tell me at the same time I cannot use it :(

As per your http://www.mtn.co.za/ website this is usually as result of not having enabled basic data provision.

Please Help

Hi MTN, Normally XML data will be encoded as a TibrvXml object, so you need to do the following to extract it:

Hey....

So I've come on here to see if someone can tell me why my connection is so slow all of a sudden.? I'm with MTN and stay in Pretoria (Hatfield) and connect to the internet with my phone using a USB connection. Just over 2 weeks ago i was getting download speeds of about 1.6Mbps (min) 2.9Mbps (max) and basically a constant upload 0.3Mbps to the JHB server with a ping of about 250-350ms. Now, the last few days, it's been D: 0.10Mbps, U: 0.33Mbps and ping: 229ms

I tested it in Richards Bay (don't know why it says 50km) and this is what i got a week ago and got:

I've got up-to-date anti-virus and spyware protection and it's neither of those. Can somebody please tell me why my connection is so slow? I'm getting gatvol!

Now, 20min later on the same phone same everything i get this:

http://www.speedtest.net/result/512301556.png

and 5min after the previous 2 tests it's back to:

http://www.speedtest.net/result/512306875.png

What's up with the instability??????
 
Why when i go to speedtest.net, and click on "My results", is there so many tests done with the same IP address as me if i didn't do them?
 
How to load bundle - easiest way?

I have a K3715 modem Vodafone modem. Running the Vodafone software. Using an MTN sim. Works perfectly, but how do I load more prepaid and convert to bundles without taking the sim out? Ginggs' app.... does it work with this modem? Unlikely if I look at his compatibility matrix. Perhaps there is a way to do it with SMS? Perhaps you can do it through MTN's online portal?

Please give it a try, let me know how it goes, and I'll update the compatibility matrix accordingly. Huawei modems are very similar so there's a good chance it will work.

I don't know about SMS, but I do know MTN don't have an online portal for pre-paid yet.
