Hi Tim, the problem is the ip address. MTN gives you a new address for each site request. Some pages check if your current ip is the one you used for logging in, to make it difficult to hijack your session. For MTN now, this throws you out immediately there.
I am not sure, how easy it would be for MTN to change their ips they are giving out. But the guys from flattr.com for example changed their security check mechanisms after I told them, that I have so dynamic ips.
