Galaxy S3 - Pick n Pay FAIL !

[Mike Smit]

I was p1ssed off yesterday when I could not locate stock but it worked out for the best.
Galaxy Note 2 being announced on 15 Aug and will hopefully have it shortly after that. Rather go Note 2 over GS3 - so it all worked out for the best IMO.

Looks like I am the only lucky one who got it on this deal.

Hmm .. well my GF signed up at P&P Northgate even though there wasn't any stock, they'll get the phone in on Wednesday so I don't really know what everyone is fussing on about. Just sign the contract and wait for the phone.

Of course, I couldn't wait so I just upgraded at a Vodashop yesterday

The interest in the Samsung Galaxy S3 was overwhelming and took us by surprise. Even though we had stock initially, it did not meet the huge demand we encountered. We are now back in stock and have extended the deal until 13/8/12 , available at all Pick n Pay Hypers. Sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 @ TOTAL of R279.00 PM X 24 MONTHS
( R144 PER MONTH + R135.00 SUBSCRIPTION ON EVERYDAY OFF-PEAK 120 X24 MONTHS)
(per minute billing) T’s&C’s apply

Yup, it was a good deal and a good 'publicity stunt' from PnP
I went to 3 branches, same story... no stock. Also called customer service, who phoned some branches and could also not find any store with stock.

I think the universe is trying to tell me not to get a S3

Pick n Pay isn't a verified account so don't get too excited. It might just be SPAR trolling.

Also very impressed. Called my local Hyper to see if they had stock and they do.
Seriously thinking about picking one up this afternoon.

lol, true... but I have faith in the universe again

Is there a data pkg included or available, these smartphones eat data so if there is no package included your actual cost will be a lot more

[gnomez]

There is no data package included, but you can get a decent data bundle for a decent price if your with a decent SP aka. Cell C

[gnomez]

Oh, and I got my S3 yesterday, Thank You Pick n Pay !!! *Happiness*
