500 GB

[disperse the tech]

I just changed my tariff to SMART BROADBAND PREPAID. How long can it take to get R50 500GB ?

It is gone go-gone gone gone, as of 4 May AFAIK<

To me it just seems they monitored the 500gb deal, those that purchase regularly don't get the deal forcing them to use the lesser night surfer bundles ie 5gb..... Ending up using a few of those thereby making more than the R50 for hellkom. The rest that didn't use the 500gb has the option to purchase the 450gb once purchased a few times it will disappear for them 2.

Moves tin foil hat a bit to the left for better reception.

Hold on to your foil hat because I think Telkom wants to habituate a sub-set (namely those who used the high 500gb bundle) to their other less appealing "offers", while picking up a few extra Rands.

Sounds positive/promising
I activated 2 R50 bundles so won't know until June

Beginning June for me too, Just an fyi the time doesn't stack only the data does, so everyone's data should expire around 3rd June. We'll see what happens then.

For me it's the 450GB or nothing, if I ain't seeing it come June then there is no point in buying anything because the other little bundles won't even finish a single game update. Won't make financial sense / too much admin to stack up little 5Gig bundles to do a 20GB game update and then stack more for the next game update etc

Truth,don't need it like I need water or food,they don't offer something that fits the use-case they'll be out of the money simply

Hur durr hur durrrr
All good,don't want the money,won't get it

Customers who tend to use data during the night may periodically be offered customised Night Surfer bundles on *123#,” said Telkom.

I only use my LTE service at night yet I have no notable deals, unless that excuse for a deal, 5GB for R5 counts as a deal...

 

[Budza]

Why?

 

[spidaman]

I'd actually like to know from this article, what exactly is the criteria that they are using to offer the 450 GB deal.

Seconded.
Seems like it is NOT offered to people who will actually use it

Really a load of bull****. Why not just have regular packages available for everyone? Why does it have to be so ****ing complicated just to get the service you want? You have to pay more per gig before you're offered this deal, but you won't be guaranteed of getting the same deal again next month if your usage profile doesn't match?

**** it Telkom, get a grip.

Was the network so congested after midnight that they had to get rid of this???

Has anybody tried this 450gb deal on a new prepaid sim card? Perhaps use once and move over to another sim card?

 

[kianm]

F U Hellkom, I will not be buying your little 5h1tty bundles go big or go home !!

Probably they figured there was so much demand for data after midnight they could raise the price and make more money off it. raising

+1

What a dick move from Telkom with this. Just when I was positive about telkom, they go and do this crap

You're right, I've only ever bought the 500GB deal since getting the SIM last year when the deal launched. So I'm also wondering how they concluded I only need the 5GB one?

 

[Lostboy]

It's simple, we took the carrot, we dl at night using the night surfer. Now to make more money out of us, it's simple 5gb @ R5 for 1 night. You do the math......

According to Hellkom you need the 5GB one because you need the 500GB one...... That's their logic go figure :wtf:

That ish ain't gonna fly though , bought the 500GB for 30 nights because it made total sense I will not buy something that doesn't make sense. Like 5GB for 1 night what nonsense is that
