MTN Latest Gimmick by shortgun(m): 2:57pm On Aug 14, 2014 |
I've observed that am not able to initiate calls on my MTN line anytime my credit drops below #100, I will start to hear that yeye female voice saying "your credit has been exhausted and your call terminated, you can borrow airtime from MTN to continue your call bla blah blah. If I check my credit balance by dialing *556#, I will see that I still have credit on my account. Also, you can't borrow credit from MTN unless you have exhausted the credit in your account, so frustrating when you are no where near where to buy a recharge card. It's like they are trying to discourage people from borrowing. They should just stop the service if they can't manage it. |

When that happens, just switch off ur data, it will connect, It's because ur data was on 1 Like |

Just switch off your phone, remove the SIM, reinsert it and restart the phone. Hope it helps |

The issue is that ur fone is reserving ur remaining balance for internet browsing. So what you would do is to simply switch of ur mobile data and make ur call and switch it back on when u are through with ur call. No need to switch off ur fone. |

gentlefada:Really!? How does ones phone reserve credit for Internet browsing? Primary purpose of a mobile phone is to make calls, not to browse or any other thing. There is a flaw in there system but they will never admit it, or they are doing this on purpose. |

Same here. Just drop the call and re-dial |

shortgun:Ofcourse the problem is from MTN because my etisalat sims does not do the same on the same phone but thats what they told me when I called their CC |

Haba! na today U know.... But bros, that's how it is, especially when your data is on, just off it , and make your call... Whatsapp is one of the cause of this ish, If your balance is below 100 and ya whatsapp is On, Guy forget calling. |

shortgun:it does o, I had the same issues, I designated a key for mobile data, before a call, I switch it off, and on again after the call...I wonder why my phone would be reserving airtime for me...I think it happens only with mtn, but if your phone isnt internet enabled, it doesnt happen...Do you use any of this new Nokia ashas? |

Call CC and give them a piece of your mind. I did that after constant episodes of restarting my phone just to make a call. They need to do a reset on your line. 1 Like |
