@all: The MTN data system terminated my 50mb bundle when my usage hit 25mb. This is bad! I mean, though 25mb for N500 is still a good deal, this is still 419 - false advertising. Why state 50mb when what you are offering is 25mb?

@oluyom: You'll have to take them up for this,surely? I'd have loaded and check seen but for my bad browser. Sure you can get a refund if you follow it up

@ifed: the firmware update might work if u were not up-to-date. But my guess is u are, so a hard reset will most likely do the trick.
@all: this mtn thing shouldnt be taken lightly! Has anyone gone to/ called thier CC? I'll be in abj by this wkend, so i'll try it out myself. Like the old saying goes, if it looks to good to be true, it isn't!!! |

Another victim of the MTN swindle.................... ME! 
I knew it was too good to be true.
Whats MTN CC number? I need to lash out at someone. I only did 11mb before I got the dreadful sms. |

It is funny what MTN is up to now. The CC number advertised by MTN is 180 and self-service is 181. If you call 180 you will be told the number is incorrect. 181 just hangs up.
On a good note, however. I did a sim-swap on mtn some few days ago and it was swift. Bought a sim on getting to the office at 10am, went to their website and filled the form and voila by 4pm, same day my line was active! |

I think my honeymoon affair with mtn is over and reality has kicked back in. MTN ARE CROOKS! (AAHH! That feels better!!) |

I loaded N500 yesterday and got value from MTN. Yes, 50 mb!
My data counter now reads 60.4 mb. Subtract the previous 9.1mb from it and you get 51.3 mb.
It is 1.3 mb over because MTN did not warn me when I hit 50 mb and so my balance credit was used up.
Since we all have different values, could it be teething problems of the new data plans or is MTN deliberately cheating some subscribers?

Well, another weekend is here again, and another opportunity to try it out again. Will see how it goes again.

After Brym's post I was encouraged to try again, but have unable to make the data purchase. I've sent the sms but haven't received the confirmatory sms. |

I doubt abt it being "deliberate" but as u know there are sins of commision and sins of omission!!! And the way most telecom operators make thier cc so unreachable! I can remember a time when econet's cc was the only one free and accessible (after a 5 - 10 min music interlude). |

@all: With regards the MTN Daily bundle, members of the MobilityNigeria.com team were brainstorming this issue, and we decided to explore the possibility that the system is programmed to expire after 12 midnight. If we find this to be so, it means when MTN said '24hrs' they meant a window of roughly 12 midnight to the following midnight. We are experimenting with this at the moment. Contributions from PNF members welcome. PS: Any PNF whizkids interested in writing for MobilityNigeria.com?
