    Hi

    The airtime can be used for voice, data, SMS or MMS, but you will not be able to purchase any bundles or premium rates services as BlackBerry.

    For the full Terms and Conditions please click here: http://www.8ta.com/plans/prepaid-voice/

    Thank you

    I could be wrong, they might mean use OOB data instead of bundle data.
    Hi

    You are correct.
    The free airtime can only be used out of bundle.

    Thank you

    8ta Rep please explain, thanks.
    Hi
    If you are an existing 8ta prepaid customer, then you need to have your tariff plan changed to 8ta more.
    Thank you

    Now let's say I buy R150 airtime, I then get R150 free. If I immediately convert my R150 into a 2+1 GB promo bundle, will my data usage immediately start coming off the bundle or will the free airtime of R150 be used up at the OOB rate of R1/MB first and then my data bundle after that? So in essence, will this method give me 150 MB + 2 GB + 1 GB?
    Hi ajax

    We will confirm with the product manager and provide feedback.

    Thank you

    Why is this?
    Hi cavedog

    You cannot have prepaid 8ta more and the prepaid PSB (per-second billing) data promo rate plan active on the same SIM at the same time.

    Thank you

    Hi ajax

    Sorry for the delay.

    First of all, you will not be able to purchase the 2GIG + 1GIG Promo (or the 60GIG + 60GIG Promo) on the 8ta more tariff plan.

    When you use your normal airtime to purchase a data bundle (for example 100MB for R40.00), the data bundle will be used first, then your free airtime (given to you on the 8ta more tariff plan) and only then your remaining airtime (not consumed by your data bundle).

    Please ensure to always disconnect your data session after purchasing a new data bundle. This is to ensure that you utilise the new bundle.

    Thank you
    8ta

    You also need to actually CALL an 8ta rep to convert to the promo tarrif.

    Even if they send you an sms saying you need to input *180# and follow the prompts?!?!?!

    I stand to be corrected... bought R50 airtime just to test it and i received no free(more) airtime.

    Now does the promo apply to data Only sim?

    There are 3 prepaid tarrif plans:
    1. Pre paid per minute (These will need to be converted to 8ta More by dialling *180# in order to qualify for the free airtime) NB: This is no longer available to any new customers - any new customers will be on the 8ta More by default.
    2. Pre paid per second (8ta More)
    3. Pre paid data promotion (These do not qualify for the free airtime)

    All these services allow voice and data.

    We hope this clears things up a bit more. If there is anything anyone needs anything clarified, let us know.

    I think it will be instantly lost if you convert it. Also you can earn a maximum of R1000 per day I think.

    Hi All!

    If your SIM card configuration is for the promo deals (2+1GB and 60+60GB), you will not get free airtime (e.g. buy R1000 and get R1000 free).
    Only if your SIM card is set to 8ta More will you get free airtime.

    You will lose the 8ta more airtime once converting your SIM to the data deals.

    Please don't make this mistake?
