[\QUOTE] Please clarify this. Are you saying that if my airtime balance is R0.00 and my Allowed data is 0MB than Vodacom will charge me an OOB rate and just debit that amount from my bank account on the next debit run? (currently on the Cell C prepaid which is kinda hard capped because I have a data sim that I use only for data so once its used up I don't waste more cash) My data sim gonna expire soon so wouldn't mind jumping ship if the service is right.

Would it be possible for customer care to hard cap the product? ie only allow 4 GB data for the month?

If it can't be hard capped or the data limit locked than I won't get this contract. I left Neotel because they could not offer a hard cap on thier data offering.
Still no repsonse...nor clarity...
 
Edit: I had an issue with slow access that I have resolved.

I have received the following debit on my bank account. Is this amount of R129 because it is a pro-rata charge for joining during the month? Anyone know?

yip the R129 is pro-rata for your 1st mnth - you probably joined around the 5th - on 1June you will probably be debited by R149, if the OOB shark hasn't caught you by the privates...

Great, thanks for that. Lol, no I am watching my bandwidth usage very carefully.
The 31050 with MM SMS is helping a lot.

If I want to soft cap on data usage or billing is there an email address that I can use?
Or do I have to call Vodacom directly?

AFAIK, you have to call VC and request your cap to be adjusted - from what I've been told, you can only do this after 3 months (I don't believe this story) and the minimum cap you can set is R50 and of course, they don't guarantee the cap - best effort they call it, as a result of the fact that they only check your usage every now and then, so don't download that 1GB movie when you're close to your cap - it could just cost you R1200! :-(

It would be great if one of the VC reps could confirm the above?!?!? (If it has been reliably explained elsewhere.... where?)

I don't think so, i checked on my statement and only the -124.96 was deducted from my previous balance.
 
lol....there is no connection fee or sim charge people! I repeat....FREE SIM & CONNECTION.

With deals like this I have noticed before once the line is activated, the discounted rate does not show right away. The billing system will slap on the discount and do the billing when the bill run starts.
If through VodacomDirect according to the website. Vodashop can charge the fee no?
 
Got the promotion this weekend from Vodacom 4u in Menlyn shopping centre. No extra fees, only paying for the actual promotion every month.

Cool, it actually splits the Normal and Night Owl balance now, when I check then balance via the mobile connect software.
