I had a contract with MTN in 2018 and I completed the 24 months. They are now saying I owe them the monthly subscriptions, since I didn't write them the letter to terminate the contract. This is regardless of the fact that I stopped using their services immediately after 24 months. Now they have handed me to their dept collectors, who are threatening me to list my name. What must I do? Please help me.

Hi there,

I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment, even if it is R150 or R200.

It is a standard term of a cellphone contract that it will continue after the initial 24 months on a month-to-month basis until you cancel it. It could, in theory, continue forever. 

This is regardless of the fact that you stopped using their services immediately after 24 months.

What must I do? --> You need to cancel the contract, and you need to pay MTN the amount claimed because, technically, you have breached their contract.
