i gues this is the best platform to publicize this. i am reportin mtn to d whole world and to enlighten oblivious customers of mtn in Nig. Its stale that mtn gives 10% bonus on any form of e-recharge(atm, pos, online vendors) and all networks deduct their bonus at a flat rate of 40k/s. This is what mtn does, lets assume u have bot an e-recharge of #500, u ll be given #50 as bonus, but this bonus is a way of draining the main residual bal in few minutes. Let say u are on mtn zone, the normal deduction rate is 12k/s all hrs except btw 6pm and 9pm when its 28k/s. wen calls are made immediately after the recharge, mtn deducts your money at 40k/s and when u exhaust your #50 bonus, they bounce into ur main bal of 500 still at the same rate of 40kobo except u end d cal after pen and paper calculatiin of how long #50 bonus will take u, then u end d call and call back. but how many people know this? #500 at 12k/s will take u for 69mins 20secs while #500 at 40k/s = 20mins and 10secs. just because of a promo of #50naira, they deprived unsuspecting users of 49mins! mehn.... pls lets speak up and out b4 this gets outta hand. its happend 2 me twice and i was very pained. do u wanna stand a chance of being cheated or shout out?? Note, airtel doesn't do that, once ur bonus is exhausted, they change to ur default deduction rate automatically! MTN..SMH! humbly signed.. ... seyi(le meilleur). If helpful, pass on!

@OP, you are clearly misinformed. MTN Zone has no defined tariff. That is to say charges on MTN Zone is done randomly. @MTN Zone what you see is what you get. Besides, you should have called Customer care for assistance instead running to social media without any form of verification.
