Important Notes:

• The “Please Call Me” service is free to use on MTN.
• The recipient will receive a message stating, “The MTN subscriber at [your phone number] requests you to call back.”
• This service is intended for situations where you don’t have enough airtime to make a regular call.

Additional Tips:

• You can send “Please Call Me” messages to any mobile network in South Africa, not just MTN.
• Consider including a brief reason for requesting a call back in the message itself (if using the app method and it allows customization). This can help the recipient decide whether to call you back right away.
