A Nigerian lady, Juliet Godwin, accidentally purchased a recharge card worth N101,000 for the wrong phone number when she intended to buy 1 terabyte of data.
She mentioned that the mistake occurred because she used an outdated phone number that she no longer used.
Fortunately, despite the mix-up, she was able to convert the airtime into data, relieving her of the stress caused by the error.
She wrote;
“Wanted to buy 1 TB data, I mistakenly recharged 101k mtn airtime to a wrong number on Sunday. After not-so-helpful calls with MTN customer care, I just got it transferred with the help of a friend who works there into the right number.”
