Baffled by GTT’s service for mobile internet users

-

Dear Editor, The GTT internet service tends to rob mobile internet users; I am baffled and angry at the disappeara­nce of my credit more than once.

I usually take a daily internet plan/service after crediting five hundred dollars. When my credit is depleted there is a message telling the user that if they so desire they can type in “yes” to get two hundred and fifty dollars credit, and that two hundred and seventy-five dollars would be deducted at the next top-up. I did this twice, once when I was down to $58.00 and my new balance became $308.00. Fine.

Without any calls or internet activity, and before the other minute is completed a message stated that my balance is $88.00. This is very mysterious. I am afraid to add further credit because unexplaine­d deductions are happening.

Yesterday on my way from work. I credited $500.00 and without much fuss my total credit became $91.84.

I wish to note that these messages have no accompanyi­ng number. The messages are all the same: “Your Core Balance reached $91.84. Reply YES to receive $250 and $275 will be deducted from your next top up from a vendor near you.”

There is another gimmick. In another message, you are asked to type “1” and send in order to discontinu­e the arrangemen­t stated earlier. You are always being told “Invalid Response. Please reply with the option presented”. What option?

GTT needs to do better; the general perception is that there is much dishonesty. I will change my service provider. That is the option I know of.

Yours faithfully, (Name and address provided)
