Hi. Hope someone will be able to help me with this problem.
I'm on an MTN Procall 150 (started contract almost 2 years ago) per second billing and get my minutes on the 11th of each month.
Went to check my minutes balance today, what a shock I got when the automated voiced claimed I have "4 minutes available." so apparently, within 9 days of receiving my minutes, I've managed to use 146 of them.
Quickly checked my cellphone logs, realised that there is absolutely no possible way that could have happened, and immediately phoned MTN on 808.
Eventually managed to get an OK consultant. She then informed me that there is no possible way they can check on the system the duration of calls made and the numbers dialled for the current billing cycle. I was like WTF? So I must just continue using my phone as if I had free minutes and amass a gigantic bill? Her reply was basically, "Yes, and then you can query it when you receive the invoice."
To be honest, she was very rude and I responded in kind. But MTN, come on? That is complete bollocks. What if this were a legal investigation and the police were involved? Of course you have that information, but you would rather a customer inflate their invoice and then fight against you to reright your wrongs. Absolutely pathetic.
No doubt that I will be ending my contract with MTN when it expires and will recommend to anyone I know to sign with the competition.
Anyone know how I can win in this situation?
