MTN under fire at Advertising Standards Authority

What about the E&OE statement in their advertising. Surely that counts for some type of printing mistake?

No way - they should be getting it right or fix it. No E&OE technicalities.
 
Thats some poor form from MTN on the first issue (8Gb ram). The second one, i guess i could let that slide. Its shows that there is some moron who knows nothing about the product putting these ads together.
 
In another complaint, a consumer argued that MTN’s advertised “fixed rate” roaming prices may give the impression that the there is a fixed charge per call no matter the duration. The calls actually have a fixed price per minute rather than a fixed price per call.

MTN argued that it can reasonably be inferred that the amount indicated (in this case R5,00) is a per minute charge.

WTF - R5.00 per minute is Reasonable?
 
eish, see it many times, the guys who write the ads don't always have the technical know how of what they're advertising.
have seen many Pick n Pay, HiFi Corp, even Incredible Connection adverts in the paper, where they advertise computers or laptops, and its clear the person who wrote the ad only has a very vague idea of the technical specs, coz they can also print quite BS.
I guess the guy buying the computer with Windows Basic on won't know the difference either :-)
 
What I would like to know is what the iPhone has to do with this article since that nearly takes up the entire thumbnail on the my broadband home page???

A consumer should not have to infer something like that. The advert should be clear.
