Thread: SIII @ Autopage

  1. #1

    Default SIII @ Autopage

    Just saw the SIII advertised at Autopage on the CellC Straightup 200 for R449x24.
    The same deal directly from CellC costs R579x24.

    I figure either a mistake or a good deal. Went ahead and signed up, vetted OK.. getting the phone on Thursday apparently.

    Score??

    Duly considered, but they are still around after many, many years, I bet there are many more happy clients than unhappy. Besides, if you just typed that message via an ADSL line maybe you should search the forum for 'problems with Telkom"

    Aye, I hear ya, and that's pretty much the reason i'm cancelling my Vodacom contract. We shall see I guess. Hopefully they aren't far worse than I know the operators can be themselves. I haven't actually signed my life away yet so let's see. I'll read more opinions here and make a final decision.

    and it's still a pretty good deal if you consider what the other operators including CellC themselves are peddling.

    Stay away from autopage, unless you enjoy endless billing and support problems, check helopeter.

    R279pm x24 from pick and pay trough Vodacom, and it would seem to be on a Talk 120 contract?

    Judging from the hellopeter complaints on Autopage, as long as you stick to the stock standard contract issued to you (and make sure you get a copy), and don't request anything else be added or removed to your contract you would be ok.

    But remember, their call centre is not toll free and you will be billed when you call them.

    No, that's on off peak with per minute billing. You will end up paying lots more due to peak calls, per minute billing, and sms's.

    Saw the S3 at Cell C yesterday, was the 16Gig version, Vodascum and MTN###### both have the 32Gig versions, might be worth considering.

    Noted, and thanks. I'll certainly keep that in mind. At least I have 200 anytime minutes and 99c to anywhere, anytime. The Voda/MTN contracts with the same phone just can not compare IMHO even though they are 'cheaper' monthly. Voda for instance is Business Call (higher rates than 99c afaik), 20!!!! free min and 250mb, on per minute as well.
    I am running around with 2Gb in a pocketable 3G router so i doubt I'll have to add data to the contract, so it should stay box standard.
    Phone arrives tomorrow.

    Honestly, I'm really not concerned that it's a 16Gb. I doubt very much that I'll even use that capacity to it's fullest and if I do I can always add a 64Gb memcard at a later stage. Really is ample storage for my kind of usage.

    That's not a bad deal. Chuck the sim and get on a month to month straight up 100.

    I need the 200 free minutes (and the 200mb helps too) and adding the straightup 200 to that R279 still makes it more expensive than the Autopage deal. Plus the activation costs and double billing. No thanks.

    I can give you one piece of advice. Stay away from re-sellers like autopage and nashua. When there is a problem on your account they blame the service provider and the service provider blames them. I honestly dont know why they bother with these re-sellers. Its obvious they dont want to do business with them.

    Last note: STAY AWAY FROM AUTOPAGE. No matter how good the deal is its not worth it. Really, its not.
