Why Is Mtn Now Charging From Main Account First Instead Of Bonus Balance? by validpoints: 10:14am On May 09, 2019
I noticed recently that Mtn beta talk now charges from main account instead of bonus, is the company now broke and wanna salvage the situation by stealing from its customers? I think they are going contrary to what the beta talk advert stipulates (which is charging from bonus credit before main account).
I just found out it isn't just Beta talk, but on all the plans.

Same here, Glo does it for me when it comes to browsing, I'm yet to understand it when people curse and ridicule glo online, I guess I'm lucky to be using a 4g enabled phone plus my location is glo inclined too hehe...

MTN are armed robbers from time immemorial.

The only reason I still use MTN for calls is because I have had my line since they first stepped foot in Nigeria.

Glo does the browsing for me.

Because of people like me.

I always recharge my line once i am running out of d beta talk bonus (accumulating the main balance) so i can save d main balance for even a month without using it but just the bonus.

it's because you borrowed the data you are using. If you borrow data to browse and recharge your line, they will be charging from the bonus. But if you pay up what you are owing...they will stop. They are still the best

Not totally true though.
I also noticed it and I don't borrow airtime/data.

Thank you for your post. A recent review of our tariff plans now makes it that on MTN BetaTalk plan, your first-minute call of the day will be billed from your Main Account as against your Bonus Account. You can share your complaints or enquiries with us on our thread. https://www.nairaland.com/1379574/mtn-customer-care-thread.

Wanna know the truth? Your company is gonna lose customers... The reason most people still use mtn is because of calls and not data.. More than 60 percent of your customers are on beta talk, why the sudden change of touching their main balance whereas they have bonys? You guys keep ripping off your customers.
