    Default Disguisted in Cell C

    So i phone the call center. They have the Galaxy S3 on contract (Business Chat) but get this R399 for the contract with NO data! Yes you heard it no data not even 75MB for 3 months on a smart phone.

    Vodacom have the S3 on their business chat for R369 + 250 MB data. I wanted to upgrade my cellc contract but alas they really have stupid planning people.

    I am thoroughly disgusted in cell c for their decision on what to do with this product. Cell C you lost me as a customer of 10 years. Now just to wait till my data expires on my speed stick and I am done with them.

    R399 is the price for the phone. Spend R499 and you get 100 minutes, 100 SMS's and 100MB of data + the phone.

    Vodacom offers R369 for phone on business chat with 250mb data.

    I dont want to spend R499 for minutes I wont use and have to buy data.

    You get either subsidised phones (and pay extraordinary bill for calls) or get right tariff. Can't get both...

    Not too shabby.

    Altho 100Mb is a bit iffy...

    I'll go with this deal, but just top up the data portion if neccessary. (and if possible).

    The Red Bull Mobile packages still offers better value for money.

    http://www.redbullmobile.co.za/offer...ges/contracts/
    LG P970 200Min; 100SMS; 500MB @ R249

    vs.

    http://www.cellc.co.za/99c-build-your-own-contract
    LG P970; 200Min; 200SMS; 200MB @ R345

    I don't come close to using 100 SMSes so the 200SMSes would be a total waste for me.

    Too bad they don't have an option to choose a phone.

    HI

    They might offer 250MB with phone for R369, so you not going to make call ? or sms ?
    that all adds up, we need to look at bigger picture, add your calls , sms , mms at end of month to that.

    Ours is R454 for phone 100minutes PER SECOND billing(including 34 countries), 100 sms and 100MB

    That R80 more....... now lets compare.
