MTN Reacts Over The Sudden Price Increase Of Recharge Cards by Nobody: 9:09am On May 12, 2017
The price hike of MTN recharge card had led MTN consumers to voice their woes and pains. Now, MTN has finally reacted to their customer's complain saying they "has not increase the price of their recharge cards".

According to Adekunle Adebiyi, acting Sales and Distribution Executive of MTN "the cost of recharge cards still remains the value stated on the vouchers. This means that the recharge card has not been increased and the real price is stated on MTN vouchers.
He continues "we hereby use this medium to inform all our subscribers that we have not increased the prices of our recharge cards. Any increment from any quarters across the country on our recharge cards is without our knowledge, and we urge all our customers to always pay the exact value advertised on the cards.

Speaking further, "While we are working assiduously to resolve claims of illegal increase, we apologie to our customers for any inconvenience this might have caused. Alternately, we advise our customers to explore other options of purchasing airtime such as MTN Virtual Top Up (VTU), Diamond Yello Account (DYA), or MTN Auto Top-Up for more information on these please visit www.mtnonline.com/autotopup

I think they should resolve this issue by warning the retailers because you can't tell any retailer to sell recharge card contrary to their will.

What do you have to say about this?

I believe MTN knows something about the increment. Why only MTN was increased, why not all the networks? Continue extorting from the masses...

South Africans with the collusion of Nigerians rob NIGERIANS.

You dare not try this stunt in their own country.

MTN - per second billing was impossible till 2007...As soon as Glo brought it 2004, they quickly backtracked.

Shoprite in other countries give heavy discounts like any mall should, but not in Nigeria.

DSTV does pay as you go in some countries...not in Nigeria

F**K SOUTH AFRICA & THEIR USELESS NIGERIAN COLLABORATORS

What does MTN expect.. 10 (One Hundred Naira) Mtn recharge cards are sold for 1000Naira (bulk prize).

Do they expect them to resell @ the rate of 100 per 1?
