    Keeping a spare MTN sim card alive

    Resurrecting this thread: I have a mobile data contract that I data share with 5 other pay as you go SIM cards. I have had these now for over 2 years and the SIMs have not been disconnected. All 5 cards data stream and they show up on my MTN app. Do I still need to recharge these SIMS and...

    FNB Business Credit Cards - why is there no option for virtual cards

    Apparently it’s a feature that still to be implemented. Not sure by when. That’s what I got from the local branch manager. While we are here on Business credit cards and virtual card options: I noticed that fuel purchases at Engen need a virtual card payment to get eBucks. Did I get this...

    Office 365 Family

    This got me thinking: why is there no offer from MS to have a 5-year "lease" agreement, which would be discounted to these pricing levels? So you saying, that by going to setup.office.com, signing in using an existing (previously activated Office licence) MS account, and then keep adding these...

    Office 365 Family

    Thanks for this. So it would appear that just before the 12-month expiry date, I can purchase these "chapter offers" from the vendors using the exact login details (I have an MS Outlook account) and enter the 25-digit key to an existing licence. This will extend ("renew") the licence for another...

    Office 365 Family

    Most affordable 5G smartphones in South Africa, with prices from R2,499

    LTE MiFi and WiFi routers are more likely to be locked; my Vodacom "dongle" is useless without a Vodacom SIM data card. Out of these sub-6K phones, which one would you recommend? Samsung seems to be the only one that "promises" up to 4 years of support with updates.

    Mini /Tiny PC —recommend one for me based on my requirements

    Thanks somehow I had a feeling you would make that recommendation Thought about that option, but wanted a more versatile system: Windows and Linux OS. Also way outside my price range.

    Mini /Tiny PC —recommend one for me based on my requirements

    Thanks again! I checked Carbonite (have purchased a few items already from the resellers there) but did not see any mini PC links or on sale. They are hard to find. Takealot has a few but a very pricey even for entry-level machines.
