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 NOT R 0.49 AS ADVERTISED!!!

im lost they advertised .49 per meg
1 gig package = .49 so they are correct

They claim R 0.49 p/MB for R 220 bundle

Not true

 

[Data Angel :)]

Thats incorrect, they claim 0.49c for the R499, bundle , I think you have misinterpreted the advertisment....

"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!

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.

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.
