MTN False pricing

[kkza]

I applied this mornign for a Nokia 5800 On a contract and asked about adding the BIS service, I see that everywhere on the website the service is mentioned as R69 p/m which i thought was fine, however when Lebogang phoned me she said it was R99 P/m.

When i asked why the website price says R69 all she would say is that the pricing has just gone up right now. Am I missing something here or am I being lied too?

Thanks.

BIS is R69 but you'd be better of buying a data bundle anyway. It is quite limited on non-blackberry devices.

Im struggling to find pricing on the mtn website, its rather useless, is anyone able to point me towards a link or something?

Perhaps vodacom is a better choice

Go Vodacom, I would.

MTN BIS may not be available on the Nokia 5800 and even if it becomes available it is _only_ for email, not on-device browsing.

I just added a 100MB Data Bundle on my 5800, which costs R79.00 per month and it is plenty for email and the odd website check, though ymmv

Vodacom BIS doesn't work.

sainet. R89 for 250MB of 3G = basically unlimited browing on a phone. I really think you'd struggle to use more than that...

Remember this is Mobile Data, 3G not ADSL.

This is the Data bundle rate at R79.00.

Out of Bundle rates are R2.00 per MB or R2000.00 per Gigabyte
