Smart stated this as well about the MC:
We are grateful to the three agencies for the grant of a six-month extension period before the full implementation of the MC. This provides us more time to implement the extensive reconfiguration of our IT and other support systems, and to conduct the needed tests, in order to ensure trouble-free implementation of the new expiry period.
After improvements in their systems, we can expect that all of the prepaid load amounts will also enjoy the new length of validity.
