MTN Data Technical Thread

Ok, I called THEM. And as soon as I said who I was, the guy said they were just getting ready to call me ... bla bla bla. I can get my card (Well done)

So I asked them re: headset.. "what headset" , "a headset" "oh ok "

he did not have a clue what I was talking about, and after explaining, he said, he will call me back NOW....

and yes you guessed right, I'm still waiting.

Please note: I'm not complaining about MTN as such, (a year ago a guy at vodashop was asking me what is 3G. lol.), it is the customer service that is terrible at the dealers.

I will see if the guy will call me back. keep thumbs up !!!:rolleyes:

:mad: Please let me know cause I'm itching to call them

@MTNDD , can you confirm that the E620 is compatible with the HP NC6120 Notebook , mine has 2 PCMCIA slots , the card goes into the slot , but does not make any connection with the pins
 
3gee, have you tried both slots?

Remove both the plastic sleeves that is in it.

I will check 2nite whether it will fit in such a laptop

Hi just to let all know, I got my data card, INCLUDED was the headset (The dealer never opened up a datacard so they never knew it was included)
I got the 49pm Deal.

Thanks to MTN DD , cause he has really went out of his way to assist.
At least Now I am sure MTN has a rep that work.:D

ad hoc data bundles

Is one able to add adhoc databundles to a mycall 100 contract. ie this month 100meg bundle, next month 350meg bundle etc.
If so can one do this electronically via the mtn web page.
I contacted our local service provider who said one can only do this via the phone ? or in writing. ??? Does one post this writen paper via snailmail ??
Thanks again.

Good day,

Rory

The way these bundles work - you can from month to month change your bundle

e.g this month you load a 500mb bundle you find it's to much for you next month you want to change it to 1G you can do this..........

What I would suggest is supply the following info to either me via PM from month to month or email me and I can have it done for you but there are some circumstances.

You must be the account holder, you must have access to your address, id number, banking details or if you've set up a OKQ - One key question

You can use [email protected] or you can PM me and I'll forward it onto the SP but the info above is a must.

Let me know

PCMCIA to PCI problems

Hi folks

I've got an Elan P111 PCMCIA to PCI adaptor and I'm using an MTN Huawei HSDPA data card. My problem is that my pc always bluescreens on first boot up, if the data card is not inserted then as soon as I insert it it crashes or I get a msg invalid card. However on a subsequent boot it works fine. I've flashed my motherboard bios to the latest version however this still does not rectify the problem. I would appreciate any help on this matter.

Good day,

What I can suggest is that you remove the drivers, then plug the PCI adaptor along with the data card into your machine after you've removed the drivers then reboot but before you reboot make sure your adapter and card are plugged in, then reload the software and see what happens I had the same problem.

Let me know

New upgrade specials

When can we expect new upgrade specials?
 
data bundles

Hi.
Does mtn supply adhoc databundles? if not when will they. Do these run a calendar month or one month from the time of buying.
If one cannot get adhoc data bundles and one buys a monthly data bundle does the bundle run for a month from the starting date or does it run for a calendar month from buying or do they supply a pro rata data amount and charge a pro rata amount.
Thanks.
