    Telkom prepaid sim with unused unexpired LTE bundle stops with OOB message

    I bought a new prepaid sim in December to test Telkom LTE. I loaded a 60 GByte LTE bundle (valid 61 days). Worked great. I used it in my ZTE mifi every other day or so. I have some 50 GByte left until 20 Feb. I popped it into my Huawei B618-65d yesterday (31st Jan). I got a OOB message saying I...

    We tested out-of-bundle notifications and our airtime got destroyed

    We tested out-of-bundle notifications and our airtime got destroyed Out-of-bundle (OOB) data charges can quickly deplete your airtime, especially if you don’t realise your data allocation is depleted.

    Telkom OOB

    Mikrotik and the dreaded OOB shark

    Hi Guys Is it possible that you can monitor bandwidth consumption on your Mikrotik, and at 100Mb data bundle left over (can be adjusted by the user) it will start to throttle you seriously, as well as prevent the opening of bandwidth-hungry web pages and killing torrents and ftp downloads...

    PIN on SIM or not?

    Do you put a PIN on your SIM or not? I have a PIN on my contract SIM, and on my one frequently-used SIM, but the rest (prepaid, of course) doesn't have any PIN codes on, to facilitate easy swapping on any MIFI device. It just is for my own ease of mind, knowing that should some foul...

    Telkom Mobile Billing Query: Concurrent Data Bundles

    http://www.telkommobile.co.za/plans/plan/smartplan-100#19 If I use the above Smart Plan, I'm able to load both TM (Telkom Mobile) Data and AN (All Networks) Data. If I have 2 bundles loaded at the same time, say a 100MB AN and a 1GB TM bundle, which gets used first? I'd hope that the TM...

    Do you want to help defeat the OOB shark?

    The WHY? For too long mobile broadband providers have been taking advantage of their customers by profiteering off of their naivety, while others in some cases have intentionally created systems and procedures to trick their customers into going out of bundle. At up to R2/MB OOB rates, and new...

    OOB charges on Contract Data Packages & Bill Shock

    Hi. I know this has been asked before, tried the search function, but couldn't find much info. If I sign up for the Cell C 2GB per month data contract at R149, what happens once the 2GB of data is depleted? Will I automatically get billed at the OOB rate of 39c per MB? Is it possible to...

    Add me as another one bitten. Idiot that I am I have one 2+2 for myself and one for my wife. June's deduction from my account over R2000. Still don't know why. July R1500. This month, who knows, but this month's overspend is my fault since I screwed up the downloader's scheduler and it overran...
