More Confusion ?

[PCW]

Maybe I have completely missed the point on these new 3G bundles. I enquired to Vodacom about the 3G250 MB bundle - where I could buy. This is the answer :

So I cannot just get the datacard for the sub 1GB packages?

vodacom3g - any advice ?? :confused:

As far as I am aware you need to buy the 3G card (big bucks) :(

I'm in a simmilar situation...

For legacy reasons :-) I don't have a vodacom contract, but the low-volume 3G packages look very apealling to me for the ocassional at-home email checking and surfing (the missus would donner me if I spent too much time on the laptop whilst at home :-) ). My current network can only tell me that "they are reviewing the current costs for data services". Ok, yeah, whatever.

First prize for me is a month-to-month data-only contract on any of the low volume packages - and I'd even consider the R599 p/m package but I don't want to sign a 24-month contract. Of course, one needs to provide one's own card but that's fine.

Is there any chance of something like this?

Currently I see my only option is to buy a pre-paid SIM and pay the out of bundle rate for data, which is not *too* bad but the slight advantage of the lower per MB costs for the packages is a nicer option.

I'm going to post a new Thread we can make sticky entitiled: How to buy data bundle. There are quite a few options. Give me a few minutes.
