    When did they stop including Night Owl with Once-off data bundles?

    I'm (almost) sure I was still getting Night Owl bundles with my Once-Off purchases only last month.... but when I phoned to find out, I was told Night Owls haven't come with Once-Off bundles for "a very long time". Can someone be a bit more time-specific for me, please?

    We're laymen and not too proficient regarding technical issues. A pensioned family member moved from a Telkom ADSL line, to pre-paid mobile broadband data, to a 24 month data contract through MTN Hyde Park (in November '14, using an existing Huawei 3G WiFi dongle). Previous average data...

    Disappearing data bundles

    Has anyone else noticed how much longer included monthly data lasts than once off data bundles? I have regularly found that the 500Mb I get with my contract each month lasts about 3 weeks. After that I top up with once off data bundles. These topup bundles don't last anywhere near as long as my...

    In summary : I have moved from one part of Pretoria, to a different suburb which happens to be quite centrally located, close to malls, community centers and other amenities.

    Is Afrihost Stealing Data?

    Wondering if anyone else had the same experience: I switch to Afrihost, on my WIFI modem (LTE), and both mine and my wife's cellphones. I then also bought my mom a wifi modem (3g), and got her Afrihost Mobile, as it works out cheaper for low data usage. Suddenly, all the data consumption...

    MTN Prepaid Data Bundle Prices Unrealistic

    http://mybroadband.co.za/news/broadband/101218-mtns-secret-fibre-to-the-home-pricing-revealed.html I would switch back to MTN in a wink if they lowered prepaid data prices in line with their opposition. Prepaid customers simply cannot afford their high prices. If others can do it, why not...
