Is it possible?

Boss was in australia recently and he could buy bundles via credit card from the sites portal.

Can you do the same in south africa. if not, when will this be implemented?
 
You have to buy the voucher and convert it to a bundle, naturally.
 
Not aware that you can do exactly that, but you can buy via some of the banks' online banking services. I.e. without leaving your desk ... or computer ... or networked device to be most generic.

Nedbank don't have it but Standard do - log in and look for 'prepaid recharge'.

Wait ... it's more complicated; all you can do via online banking is transfer airtime. Then you have to buy the PPDB on your phone or on your provider's website - there are threads on how to do that for MTN, Vc and Cell C.
 
Thanks Secretcode.

I did it via FNB, you can buy PPDB directly to the cellphone - much easier :) i love FNB

Hmm. Wonder if I should 'port' to FNB :)

I used to buy pre-paid credit via Internet Banking and then buy a PPDB via Vodacom's own systems [SMS & v4me] using that credit from IB, but FNB introduced that PPDB-buying feature within FNB's IB system, and that is how I have purchased my last few PPDBs, it works nicely but I could just as easily go back to my previous method since it is only one additional step in the process of purchasing a PPDB which is really easy when you use IB instead of buying pre-paid vouchers.

Do you mean it allows direct purchase of PPDBs? Can't see that in their menus. Where is it?

No, you can buy airtime, you'll still have to convert the airtime to a data bundle on the phone/modem.
