How I Got Scammed By Mtn's *142# Plan by Globallords(m): 8:34am On Jul 04, 2016
I've considered MTN as my favourite network but they got me losing the trust in them last weekend.

I ran out of data and call-time so i decided to activate an affordable plan that covers Browsing and Calling.

After dialling *142*30*3# which was assigned to my sim, i got 50MB+ 5Mins for #50 Only Valid for 24Hrs.
I was so pleased with this but to my surprise i could only use the 5mins only, the 50 Megabyte wasnt browsing till it expired.

Thank God i didnt activate that of greater amount. Will never try such plan again.

Are you also using the bundle of *142#? Ever regretted buying a data bundle? Share ur story!!!

Tried glo #200 for 200mb+ airtime too. That was the worst decision I have made since 2013. The airtime was exhausted faster than normal. The data?... I don't wanna go there(chris brown's voice).

I am still loyal to glo sha.

Why do you always behave like a f00l? He offered to help solve someone's problem and that someone is clearly not you.
