geez, that sucks, I would have left it and ended up paying 389 for months before realizing the price has gone up.
I have unfortunately signed up for the month to month deal (its loaded automatically) so I will have to go through the cancellation schlep when the price goes up again.
man, when are we going to see lower broadband prices filter through to 3G and more specifically cellphone data?
thanks for the update Piesang!
does anyone know if this once off deal data carries over?
Yes. You have 2months to use it.

According to MTN South Africa general manager of consumer segments, Mapula Bodibe, the 2GB Internet is bundle is available to PayAsYouGo, TopUp and contract customers. “It can be purchased as a once off or on a recurring monthly basis, and comes with a 60 day carry-over period,” explained Bodibe.
MTN highlighted that existing MTN 2GB users who already have an add-on recurring 2GB bundle will also benefit from the promotion during this period.
“Once a customer reaches the 2GB cap, they will be informed accordingly via an SMS notification and their further usage will be charged at an ‘out of bundle rate’ of only 19c, which is also competitive in the market,” explained Bodibe.
“By offering the most attractive internet promotion on offer today – over a world class network – with high speed internet for just R189, this internet bundle is designed to cater to an array of customer requirements and addresses the fundamental need for real value,” MTN said in its press statement.
This 2GB for R189 prepaid data bundle competes against 8ta’s ‘Go 3 Gigs Big’ promotion which offers subscribers 2GB of “anytime data” and 1GB of “night surfer” data for R149.
While MTN’s pricing is slightly higher than 8ta’s promotion, it is significantly lower than Vodacom’s MyGig 2 Advanced prepaid pricing of R385. MTN also offers better value than Cell C’s 3GB Smartdata bundle priced at R400.
So it ends in 31 July 2012 right?
Yip
thanks. pity MTN is so pathetic though, not allowing you to buy this or any bundle from your monthly allotted airtime on anytime/topup. still worth it, im gonna get it this S3 is hungry.
Does vodacom and cell c allow bundle purchases with top up airtime?
I have over R1 000 worth of roll over airtime, and that is sadly only worth 500mb's.
Vodacom definitely do, don't know about Cell-C.
Cell C definitely do with Control Chat airtime, also sms bundles and BIS.
Maybe this will help a bit.
I hope they extend the promotion again. To go back paying R 389/2GB ... eish...
Got a flier this weekend. Can't remember all the pricing but they had a few good offers. One was uncapped lite at R199 not R299.
The "Uncapped" lite also attracted my attention until I read elsewhere that it's actually not uncapped.
It has a 3GB limit and after that it is only really effective for email or net browsing.
Found the flier..
Valid until 15 July 2012.
You get a MTN fastlink E352 modem included when signing 24 month contracts for the following:
500mb was R189 nowR49
1GB was R289 now R89
2GB now at R139
MTN uncapped lite was R299 now R199.
note I do not work for MTN. This is what I see on a flier collected from one of their stores.
