Cell C launches R0.15 per MB data rate across all bundles

[teraside]

Looks like you need to buy a bundle first so go for 12MB. I also think the bundle and OOB rate expires after a month.

I did this test, which would seem to indicate that any bundle must have been bought within the last 30 days to be able to enjoy 15c/MByte OOB.

Thanks guys Appreciate it.

So the best way to add data to a straight up contract is to add a recurring R1.50 data bundle to the contract and you get R0.15 per Meg on your contract.

Awesome!

Edit to correct autocorrect

Who is they?

this deal applies to all data product portfolio,The new flat rate applies to all prepaid and contract data bundles and packages from 1 August 2012.

THis are for Data deals only not voice contracts.

This makes it sounds like it doesn't apply to data bundles added to voice contracts.

Technically, not cheaper.
3GB = 1024x3 MB = 3072 MB.
That is 256 x 12 MB bundles at R1.50 per bundle, or R384.
So cheaper than 3GB bundle for 12 months at R400, LOL.

/loads 7th 12 MB bundle for this week.

Can someone write me a script or app so that I can tell it to buy me x number of 12 MB bundles at a time. I am seeing *147# codes in my sleep already

My friend you just taught yourself a concept called opportunity cost. Enjoy your 12MB topups and R16 saving

Ported over today, just to confirm.. when my topup straight up runs out of it's allocated data bundle it will use my loaded airtime at 15c/mb?

Well done Cell C!

That's how it should work, but I would test it with a small amount first just to be sure.

Yea, I suppose I'll find out soon enough.

How much airtime does a straight up 100 contract actually show? R100 airtime, a sms and data bundle? Cos now they may as well give you just R115 airtime.

Hey Aqua...let us know when you test the theory on straight up and bundles....

So... the 15c only kicked in after I purchased a bundle not once the contract bundle was depleted.

Damn.

It looks like my included data bundle on my active chat contract has been increased. I take it once this is depleted, I need to top up to get the 15c rate- it doesn't just follow on from my existing 'bundle'? Pity. This also contradicts what the callcentre agent told me No surprises there though

My bundled contract data showed up as ~R45 on my bills. That used to be for 250MB, but now shows 300MB. Looks like they aligned the value to the new pricing structure, only without the benefit of OOB rates when that's used up.

So much for simplicity...

So then on contract it would seem that it's best to request a recurring monthly data bundle of 12 MB to enjoy the OOB rate of 15c/MB.

I just hope the billing system is "smart" in that it doesn't first deplete the 12 MB and then sees, oh, you've got inclusive data, which, after depleted, runs OOB at R1/MB

Would really appreciate some proper feedback on this.

This happened with the last additional bundle I bought...

Would really appreciate some proper feedback on this.

CellC??

/Tell you what though, rather go and fix your systems to use first data bundle first, add ons later, then come and reply. Shot.

[zahpat]

Is it just me or have cellc taken away the 12mb bundle?
