Has anyone noticed that MTN no longer deducts your money whenever you exhaust your data??

I was surprised when my browsing came to a halt when I was surfing the web the other day. Though, I was aware I have a limited data but my thought was whenever I finish using all my data the balance on my MTN line should keep me going. So, when the surfing was halt the first thing I did was to check my balance to know either if I should summarize some curses on MTN but to my greatest surprise my credit was still intact. Only GLO usually does that. Though I still don`t know the sms key and the shortcode one can use in other to continue browsing. The shortcode for GLO one is to sms PAYGO to 777 and the surfing continue.

NOTE: if you are a member of 15mb family just dial *406*5# to subscribe for MTN #5 for 5mb daily.

I don't know what you are saying ooo. On the 6th of this month they zapped my 5k worth of credit under same guise, see picture . So when did they stop it ?

Another of mts's numerous scam.is the *885*credit-pin# to double your recharge. i got this message on my phone and i be like make i catch this ppl today but i was still apprehensive and decided to try with just #100. the message was successful saying your recharge was successful, you have received extra #100. dial *559*9# to view your balance. i did just that just to see the reality , your main balance is #100 your bonus is #100. bonus balance starts counting after you exhaust main balance, bonus balance expires 11:59pm tonight

NCC recently warned(?) MTN, GLO and other networks about deducting customer balance after data subscription comes to an end. According to NCC, only Etisalat was compliant. They informed them that if the same thing persisted, they'd institute another fine. I guess they all are compliant now.

This was an easy thing all networks could have done. Instead they took the shorter route which not only saved them the necessary work, but enriched them unjustly when data subscription runs to zero.

And some mumus keep saying there is no change

Not only u bro....MTN is a thief network. They always deduct my money every day for one stupid Music Plus I didn't subscribe for. I call customer care to terminate d MTN music plus they always charge me for. The worst is dat I didn't subscribe for it...and even after their customer care terminate it for me it still keep on reoccurring. Now I am no longer recharging that line cuz they wil take my airtime without using the airtime. So so bad.

Maybe, just maybe the airtym left on your phone isn't upto 500 and above. MTN don't want small , small money now , cos they've gat debt to pay.

I use MTN , but I don't trust them for one bit. Not after they swallowed my 800 naira airtym...
