How dubious can MTN get? I have been at the receiving end of their indiscriminate charges for downloads lately. I use a BB bold 2. I found that live streaming attracts extra charges but should downloads attract the same? I observed that while some downloads are heavily charged, others are not at all. PLEASE, HOW CAN ONE DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE TWO AND HOW IS IT QUANTIFIED? Their customer care has not been of any help. Is this another dubious act of theirs besides their denying me free air time despite meeting the target? M Thief N...nowhere you go!

just throw d sim away...MTN isnt worth it at all.

Which of the lot can be trusted?

Sorry

How come na? I downloaded 42GB in 5days! with this same mtn's bis and they didn't charge any extra. All charges was on my bis. Its UNLIMITED!.

truly live streaming attracts extra charges but, you can disable it. I use a torch2, I don't know if the step is same with bold2. This is how you do it; goto your blackberrys browser and click on the menu button, then click on option and unmark "switching to carrier network for streaming media" mtn will never deduct your money again.

Thanks. I once put a call thru to their customer care and I was told there are sites that they charge extra on; that my BIS is not unlimited! But she couldn't mention specific sites; just said I should set my phone in such a way that I will be prompted when this is about to happen.

Many thanks. I'll do that right away.

'Prompt before switching to carrier network for streaming media' was unmarked. Did you mean I should mark?

I see
