MTN, South Africa’s supposed “Better Connection” is a Cellular Service Provider. But if you read this, you may begin to see why I say they aren’t the “clever connection“.
In my previous 2 posts, “Vodacom – How NOT to make money” and “Vodacom – Ship of fools” I talk about WHY I switched my cellphone contract to MTN.
But, let me briefly describe their genius method of pricing their contracts:
– The iMate K-Jam is now free (as of this writing) on all the Pro-Call contracts.
– On Pro-Call 120, you get 120 free ANYTIME minutes – Cost: R379 per month, including itemised billing
– On Pro-Call 150, you get 150 free ANYTIME minutes – Cost: R360 per month, EXCLUDING itemised billing
– Cost of Itemised Billing – About R18.
This mean, for a free iMate K-Jam and 120 free ANYTIME minutes on MTN, you will pay MORE than you would if you wanted the 150 free anytime minutes. Ok, only R1, but STILL!!!!
COME ON PEOPLE, USE YOUR BRAINS!!!
