1GB Data Promotion

Farquaon · Mar 24, 2007

I was looking and cant find the info.

Can i load a 1GB databundle and get an extra 1GB data bundle using a prepaid simcard or does the special only apply to postpaid clients?

redarrow · Mar 24, 2007

Yep, if you load a 1GB prepaid bundle you get 2GB..

I've done it twice already..

Confirmation

Hi

Also was able to do this and can confirm that you get 2gb when you load a 1gb bundle.

Hope this continues

I feel pretty certain that it will .. just my hunch

With VC having lowered their rates as well, it would not be the smartest move for MTN to end it... besides they'll lose among their current users as well, I for one will not pay R399 for 1GB of data.. nope it's just too much for too little.. if the promo ends and doesn't continue I'll either drop back to my 350MB bundles or settle for the new 500MB..

VC have NOT lowered their rates yet. Their offer only begins next month.

I don't think it makes much difference to my point though..

MTN will more than likely continue with the promo

2gb for the price of 1gb is only for new subscribers?

So I phone mtn sp, wait 20 minutes, and get told that the promotion is ony for new subscribers. I can hardly believe it, can it be true?
So if your an existing customer you have to pay the hard price, while Vodacom are dropping their prices considerably.
It must be a mistake.

So now you can buy a sim at Pep stores for R 3.99 and buy a gig from Vodacom for R 289

Can anyone confirm with certainty that I've been given incorrect info?
Has anyone gotten the 2gig promo on an existing HSPDA card contract?

Get a prepaid sim card and load a prepaid bundle.

skrokievoks · Apr 3, 2007

As far as I know, prepaid databundles are only on Vodacom.

Will a Vodacom simcard work on the MTN datacards?

Syndyre · Apr 3, 2007

MTN also offers prepaid data bundles and have for a while, a Vodacom sim should work in an MTN data card too though.

MTN had prepaid databundles long before Vodacom.

Vodacom sim cards work on a MTN datacard. And vice versa.

great to know,thanks. MTN call centre are liars then.

Anyone know where I can get software for a MTN data card with a vodacom sim?

You should be able to use the MTN software and just create a new profile.

U dont even need the software. All u need is the drivers.

The programe is nice for sending and receiving SMS's and making calls.
If you only using it for internet the driver will work 100%. Maybe google could help
