Why is the MTN website so rubbish?

[NeonNinja]

Anyone created the fake website?

Sheesh. This thing is abominable. Cell C website lightyears away.

Lol, looks like somebody noticed this thread...

MTN website has a makeover it seems. Only thing is the dumbasses killed all the existing links so now when you do a web search for something, the indexed pages just result in 404 errors.

Clearly its working since you noticed it.

Noticed as in it irritated the hell out of me and I was wondering if my Adblock was paused....yeah I noticed.

But instead of noticing the content it made me close the site as fast as I could.

All I can say is it's a helleva lot better than the old one!

I’m with you on this one, an interactive slider would have been more adequate, this is old-school side-scrolling.

They also managed to fail to redirect requests to www.

http://mtn.co.za is failing.

Look, there is nothing wrong with scrolling, if done right. See www.microsoft.com for example. MTN on the otherhand looks more like 3rd party ads than something that is part of the site.

I for one would drop the bottom 2 or make them interactive as you say. Also I would increase the timer just a tad.

Mtn has the worst site from all the networks. Cell C the best.

Good to see they updated their coverage map the old one was difficult to use

 

[satanboy]

They are just pathetic all over.

When I ordered my S2 they said they only had white phones. I was happy with that because I wanted a white one. When it arrived, it was black. (I am a corporate client.)

Useless fools.

 

[NeonNinja]

UI better but buggy as hell.

Heh, yesterday I was given a phone to set up, which uses MTN. I looked for the USSD number to load data bundles and stuff, and all I got from MTN was 404 not found errors. Really useless IMO. Thank goodness for blogs.

 

[Bismuth]

Yeah, last time I looked for information on the MTN website, it was as convoluted (and crappy) as h@ll... haven't been back recently though!

[charlh]

Since they changed the website the link on my router to check the data balance gives a 404 NOT FOUND. EISH!

MTN have incompetent web development staff working at HQ. Seriously they should assign someone that can do a world-class internet website for them and live up to their reputation.

Finally something new,fresh and not old school. Where is the coverage page ? I am still trying to locate it and a site map

Home page under "every day services" click on "internet" move your mouse over to "learn about it" and click on "where can i use it" and then covarage map and site map right at the bottom of the home page in the black bar

Says a lot when a company doesn't give a fsuck about its website. For me it tantamount to giving me the finger. Arrogant and just plain stupid. They make it so hard to contact them. If we didn't have onsite I would have lost my ***** with this company.
