Let me pretend to be the rep for a bit :P ... here's what they told me:
- They are looking into Data only packages
- They are looking into a unit that doesn't suspend the internet connection during a voice call.
- They have now been made aware about the no ethernet port problem.
- There are definately still more packages coming.
- In terms of a 24 month contract, its not a true 24 month contract as you can cancel at any time. The only fees you pay for cancelling are the full payment for the month that you cancelled in, any outstanding call charges you made, and the device rental for the remaining months of the contract ... on NeoConnect Prime: X months times R80 per month, on NeoConnect Lite: X months times R40 per month. In essense its a month to month basis ... only the device is in a 24 month contract which is understandable.

The next person to tell me that it's not a "true contract" is going to get my foot up his %&*! :mad:
It is a 24-month contract, no matter how you slice it! There will be the South African mandatory 3-month period between notifying them that you want to "cancel" and it actually happening. As soon as you put ink to paper, they have you right where they want you!
That's just the way corporate South Africa works, sad but true. And that contract is absolutely guaranteed to contain more loopholes than anything else.
Mark my words, they will find a way to make you pay!
That's why I want ABSOLUTELY NO CONTRACT! :mad::mad:

Don't believe everything you hear.
Only a lawyer with 20 years of experience and a degree in ancient Egyptian languages can truly decypher a contract like that.
I HATE CONTRACTS SO MUCH!!!
P.S. Sorry about the personal attack, I just hate contracts so much! Especially if you sign a debit order. You just can't win. :p

Same here.
I want no contracts - no matter how good they look, there always is the "...we can update and adjust the wording on the contract without no notification whatsoever..." clause.

on NeoConnect Prime: X months times R80 per month, on NeoConnect Lite: X months times R40 per month. In essense its a month to month basis ... only the device is in a 24 month contract which is understandable.
If it is the same device, how come its costs twice as much on a prime contract then?
The contract must be on more than just the device on the basis of that pricing alone, so it is a normal 24-month contract with the standard bend over and take it clauses. If it were not, they would offer the option to purchase the device and then have a month-by-month or prepaid service.
When they have that in place along with number portability, I may consider it, but as data access is my primary reason for having a fixed rather than mobile service, I may as well wait for the wimax offerings. As far as I can recall cdma is an analogue service and is being phased out in the USA, so for the sake of reliable data connection I will wait and see.
