Hey guys, Sorry, i hadn't seen this thread!
Anyway, MTN won't "rob" you as Airtel and Orange do. It doesn't automatically switch you to pay-as-go data rates unless you re-activate it yourself. That's a huge plus for them. Much as the Telecoms took the feedback (been meeting with Orange and Airtel folks), I intend to write another follow-up post specifically ranting about the "robbery" bit. Regards.
