Off the MTN website (the cost of data bundles):

What does it cost? MTN Bundles 10MB 100MB 350MB 1G Bunlde
Monthly Inclusive – Megabytes 10 100 350 1024
Subscription R 10.00 R 100.00 R 220.00 R 499.00
Effective In-Bundle

Find out more about Peak and Off-Peak times. "

Do the sums: 1024 MB for R 499 = R 499/1024=0.49 per MB
350 MB for R 220 = R 220/350=0.63 per MB and :mad: NOT R 0.49 AS ADVERTISED!!!

im lost they advertised .49 per meg
1 gig package = .49 so they are correct
 
Thats incorrect, they claim 0.49c for the R499, bundle , I think you have misinterpreted the advertisment.... :p
 
"Thats incorrect, they claim 0.49c for the R499, bundle"

That's exactly what he said too! he's saying that the 350MB (R220) bundle is wrong!

Please do a re-read, you must have misread the info (there is no error with the info on the site)...

Proof that MTN does monitor this forum

I copied the price data from the MTN site on Tuesday. Today, 2 days later, they have fixed the silly mistake.
 
* If you don't have a data bundle, you will pay R2.00 per Megabyte.

What's the above statement all about? I don't have any data bundles and the last time I checked, I was billed R1.67 per MB and I'm on a normal procall 120 contract. What's the story here.
