Received such SMS today on prepaid. Is it time expiring or network limited bonus or a real value?

sajunky - what tariff plan are you on ?

I highly doubt real value - probably the airtime can be used to contact another home network subscriber(MTN-MTN)

MTN Pay Per Second, transfered automatically from R1.20 per second (don't remember how it was called). Planning changing to 1c per second, but if bonus is real, I would recharge first. :)

Offer valid till 12 June.

I doubt you will lose the recharge bonus it might be link to the stater pack that you have and not the price plan. I'm sure that the recharge bonus will only apply to calls for MTN to MTN only and sms and data.

Recharge bonus might expire in 2 weeks to 1 month depending on what promo it is. Hard to say until you have actually rechaged

Actually it is real!

Recharged R30 and have R90 more airtime. Received SMS that R60 bonus airtime expire in 30 days. Great! It doesn't say MTN only, it must be all networks. Detailed balance doesn't show any bonus, but *141# just show total.

*141*1# and select the airtime option which is 1 I think and it should show you if its MTN to MTN airtime. If not then you got chosen for a decent promo. :)

No, I wrote that option shows only recharged value, no bonus.

So I made control call to other network and.....it doesn't use bonus, but recharge value. I feef of being a victim of MTN scam. Still good for some people, competing with Supacharge, but ends on 12 June.

MTN Pay Per Second (79c/pm) - not Call Per Second

Going to give them back R60 bonus and change to a new 1c plan (60c/pm). Not for me, but I have to admit, offer is not bad and 30 days expiry is better than Cell C, bad things: it seems to be random selected number and offer ends soon.
