    MTN 79c prepaid place plan and the PAYG bundle promos - Q&A

    So, after MTN announced the new 79c per minute promo, I went to website to gather more information and also check that I am getting the best prepaid deal(s). I then saw the PAYG Bundles which have the same call rate (79c) but come with added extras. "Dial *141*2*794# and one can select the...

    Afrihost Mobile top up the smart and cheap way.

    I'm on the 3 + 4 package currently. Depleted today. I have an option to buy 1GB @ R99 or 2GB for R198. I don't do that, what I do is change my package to the 5 + 5, which gives me 2GB more, which proratas @ R58 till month end. What happened? I saved. Instead of buying 2GB for R198 (top up), I...

    Have you heard Vodacom’s latest scam?

    What happens is they wait 4-5 hours to let you know you are approaching the limit of your data package. In that time, particularly with 4G, you can easily chew up multiple Gigabytes on their out-of-package rate of R1 per MB. But you can add a voluntary limit and cap your spend right? Not...

    Telkom Mobile Data Sim - help needed.

    Probably an easily solvable problem. I bought my son a Lenovo Tab for Christmas along with a TM data sim. I seem to imagine that the lady at the Telkom outlet gave me a piece of paper along with the sim. I have lost (or misplaced) this paper, which I think, would have contained the...

    20Gig Month to Month for R299

    Either I don't know what month-to-month means, or a typing error from Telkom Mobile or a Hidden offer. On this website I saw an offer stating that the 20Gig for R299 is month to month. Can someone please confirm.

    How about midnight data?

    How about chucking an extra 10GB for R100 to make R297 for 10GB + 10GB. Would be awesome. I mean everybody fixed line and mobile is doing this :).

    Paying in advance?

    Can you pay in advance? Like I'm on the 10GB package. So I pay R195 x 3 for subsequent 3 months. Aware that it's still in trial mode.

    Default data cap

    I recently stepped squarly into the dredded 'out of bundle' trap so smartly set by service providers. I really cannot understand the following: - I, the consumer select a voice/data contract based on the amount of data p/m plus cost advertised - The service provider does a credit check to...
