Transcript

Econet now takes their overdue credit airtime from your bundle purchases if you don’t pay it back. Let’s spread awareness with this video before we start blaming them for stealing our money. If you buy a bundle on top of that debt, you need to listen to this video. Because the thing is, if you pay what's due, you can spend months without paying it back and you'd be able to also buy bundles or even get a bundle from someone else a time minutes. But now that has changed. If you buy bundles or receive bundles when you have queried, it now takes their money first. So basically, if your credit was not yet due, then yes, you can get away with it. But if your credit was due, uh, if you receive a bundle worth of airtime, and maybe anything else, maybe they'll take their 60 cents credit. And they're going to tell you that you received a WhatsApp bundle purchase. Yes, but we took our credit of 60 cents and now you have 40 cents worth of airtime. If you need another bundle, we'll probably just going to need to top up. Things have changed. If you know a friend or someone who does take a lot of credit airtime, show them this video, repost and don't forget to follow the channel. I'll catch you guys in the next video.
