I took a new contract out with mtn on the 5th of march. HTC Desire HD on Topup 200.

Got the phone on monday the 7th, waited 2 days for my sim to be activated after going to almost every mtn in Bfn, So now i could finally use the phone - until i realised the power button was pretty messed up.

So i took it back to get a replacement because it was still under the 7 day gaurantee thing. That was on the 9th of march. They told me it would take a maximum of 7 days to get the new phone, as you might have guessed i still don't have the phone almost 2 weeks later and no matter who i ask no one can tell me when my replacement is going to arrive.

In the mean time im sitting with a sim card i purchased 500meg of data on that will expire before i can use it not to mention im paying for a phone and time i don't have.

Anyone have any ideas on what i should do? cancel the contract? its getting really fustrating now.

On another note - can i use the R200 from the Mtn topup 200 to purchase data, because i was told i would have to purchase data seperately and now im probably paying an extra R600 over the 24 months period on this contract =/. I would have just taken out a bigger contract then.
 
Cool thanks for clearing that up demon, just wasn't sure because you can buy data on a vodacom top up contract without having to purchase it seperately.
 
you can. i am on the same contract. *141*6#
took me a while to find out. 75mb for R49 is the best deal.

OMG you are right.

I just loaded a bundle now.

This has to be new though as this option want available to me when i signed up for my contract.

I still cannot believe this.
I have wasted so much money on data over the last 22 months when i could have been using these preloaded bundles the entire time!
I remember them expressly telling me i cannot load data bundles with my allocated airtime.
IDIOTS!:mad:

Thank you Blaargh for this thread.
And a special mention to Kinggenious for shedding light on the matter.
This is an evil little SP.
 
Lol, im beggining to think mtn wasn't my best choice, oh well maybe i can still change my account since its new and they haven't lived up to their side of the contract.
