Multiple tweeps and MTN customers jumped on board to express their frustration with the telecom giant. Most Occupy MTN tweets centered around not being able to load data bundles and the data running so fast or abnormally. Data bundles are loaded by customers via USSD and MTN has had an issue with the platform for a few weeks. MTN made an official statement about the issue on their website citing various issues that they have discovered customers are facing. These included multiple data bundle activation failure which causes multiple charges, delayed data bundle loading, failed activation, Inaccurate data bundle billing and bundle charged but not activated. According to MTN, the problem has affected 7800 customers and they are encouraging them to call the data help line 126 or reach them via Facebook or email (Somehow Twitter wasn’t an option to be reached on this time). MTN also announced via Twitter that they are refunding all the customers whose data or airtime was used up in the process. Orange Uganda also had a USSD downtime last week but quickly rectified the issue putting to rest a possible social media attack. This is one among many incidences where we have seen consumers congregate to exercise consumer power especially in a country with the no effective consumer bureau. But MTN is not alone. There was a time when UMEME had a row with city lawyer David Mpanga over the forced attempt to install the Umeme Yaka at his premises. This also went viral on social media and Umeme received a lot of criticism over the issue. — MTN Uganda (@mtnug) November 18, 2014 Not so long ago, Nada Anderson a social influencer,  took to twitter to express her frustration with MTN shops not being able to give her an invoice which she is entitled to by law. After her tweets went viral under the hashtag #GiveNadaHerTaxInvoice, some shops now give her an invoice but it’s still an issue that hasn’t been completely resolved. Thousands of customers are not getting their invoices and this poses a potential tax problem. As you read this article right now, the USSD problem has been partly resolved and customers can now load data bundles with a few cases still having issues.
