MTN mobile data price plummets

solve the problems with mtn, why thats easy!

1) if you are on top up contract, you should be able to use your airtime to buy data bundles.
2) give more options for new contract subscribers, where is the HTC one on mtn contracts? what about a nexus device?
3) smartphone contracts should be blanketed across the board, a BB z10, iPhone 5, Galaxy s4 and a Sony xperia Z on an anytime 200 contract should give the same amount of data regardless of phone, the handset costs does not warrant the amount of data provided for different phones.
4) voice contract subscribers should be able to get data at the same cost per meg as data contract subscribers.
5) act like you give a Sh*t about your subscribers, get a person on the twitter page that answers questions rather than give away free airtime and redirect people to call 808
6) FOCUS on South Africa, sure you have business in other countries but why skimp on SA?

Customers get skrewed by there terms and conditions and funny little sub-clauses. Upgraded my contract with them for the last time, was offered free MTN to MTN minutes with my contact, only to find out that these minutes can only be used after my rand value had been depleted. Had I known this I would never have upgraded but rather ported.

Top up 350 with a wopping great big 10Mb data that I don't even get and then you make it so FKING difficult to add data.

The last time I ever have a contract through MTN.
 
A great example of a company seeing the effects of customers voting with their wallets. Overpriced and confusing products, bad service and dodgy billing practices will tend to hurt sales.
 
Dear RPM

Read the headline to this advertorial.

Now: PLEASE TELL US IN A FEW SHORT SENTENCES how the mobile data rate "plummets".

MyBB is becoming like the Readers Digest I remember reading at the dentist.
 
"MTN South Africa’s results showed a decline of 1.4% to R20,146-million from R20,430-million in the previous year (including MTN Business)."

A decline in what? Revenue, profits, something else?

Sometimes the editing on MyBB reminds me too much of News24's.

MTN, you had one of the best packages for data, the Lite package. But you decided to cancel it. Now I'm shopping for another uncapped broadband package and guess what, it wont be you!
 
This is alot of BS and number fudging going on. I've been on bolt-on data bundles for well over a year, there was certainly no 25% drop in pricing anywhere. Maybe the price dropped on some very specific 1MB bundles or something, but i can't believe that there was a 25% drop across the board.

They are probably fudging the blackberry bundles in here somewhere and assuming a user use xMB to browse facebook. Their straight out data bundles certainly is nowhere near competitive. I'll keep my eye on Afrihost instead.
 
Well im still good with my uncapped lite package till April 2015 so cant complain there. Their deals are surely better than Vodacom's? Every time I want to upgrade my wifes contract they give me the same specials as a new customer would get. Vodacom would normally only allow crap phones for upgrade, but okeish to awesome phones for the same price for new customers, if this changed then sorry. :) Also got the wife a Sony Xperia V for R249 a month on Mtn 100 package with 130MB data, that good and how does it compare to the other SP's?
