On the 22nd November I activated my inherited Blackberry and bought a month's BIS.

Today at around 2pm my BIS stopped functioning. Just stopped. No message. Nothing. Just stopped.

I now appears that the penny-pinching Shysters at MTN don't ACTUALLY give you a month (on http://www.mtn.co.za/MTNSERVICES/BLACKBERRY/Pages/PrepaidBlackBerry.aspx they mention a price of "R59 per month" which is surely false advertising), what they give you is twenty-eight days.

Anyway, the scummy manipulative, exploitative tactics of MTN aside, how do you actually recharge your Pay as you go account? I've tried dialling *141*11# but it only gives the option of 1) Activating BIS, 2) Deactivating BIS (I'm bloody tempted, believe me) or 3) Check renewal date.

Anybody know? Or is this classified information?
 
Buy airtime. Then choose activate bis. The R59 will then be deducted from airtime balance.
 
Airtime already bought.

I've selected the option 1) Activate Blackberry

I get a message: "Y'ello, you have an existing BIS service already activated." No money is deducted from my Airtime which is still at ninety bucks.
