66c/min still available

[Chingha]

I'm considering moving from Afrihost mobile to CellC prepaid.
The 66c/min seems a really good deal but the local shop says they don't have starter packs for it anymore.
Does that mean the product is no longer available?

They do have, *****54n morons. Get new starter pack with a blue SIM (with mini and micro cuts). These are LTE ready. Any shop Edgars, CNA, P&P should have stock.

You can change your tariff plan on ANY CELL C pre paid sim card.

How long will this 66c tarrif be active for?

Cell C also has some amazing data rates available at the moment, how do they manage to break even?

An important thing to note about Cell C's 66c plan is that 0800, 0860, 0861 and 087 numbers are charged at something like R2.50 per minute. With Vodacom or MTN, you pay standard cellphone rates for those numbers. This is how they can catch you.

Also, on the 66c plan OOB data rates are a shocking R2 per MB as opposed to the standard R1 per MB. Another thing to be cautious of.

As for Whatsapp bundles. There's no way to know whether or not WhatsApp is completely zero rated. Reason being, your phone will generate other traffic for which you will be billed at standard data rates. So even if you use the WhatsApp bundle, you need to also have a Data Bundle in place to avoid draining your airtime.

If you're smart about it, this is a good plan to be on. They make their money on the people that don't pay proper attention.

Thanks guys, I plan to load the 100GB for R999 for 365 days data bundle with it. That sorts out the OOB issues.
The 08... Numbers are always an issue I was charged R2. 50/min when on contract because they are not included in the allocated minutes. Look for the alternative number for overseas clients when calling call centres. They will be a normal number.

I PM'd @CellC but haven't heard back. Can you please confirm that the 66c/Min can be used with the 100GB Sim offer.

As far as I know it can not but I might be wrong. I tghink it's a R1.5 per minute voice plan. The old 5GB x 12months simcard I had was on 4G Base tariff plan which was 99c 4 real

I am on Giga200/365 prepaid and I was unable to change from 99 Cents For Real tariff. Some members have claimed they loaded Giga200 on the existing SIM, in such case it could be different.
