Stranegly at the bottom of this page http://www.8ta.com/plans/postpaid-data/ , the same deal is offered as month to month, not 24 months.

Just loaded a 2+1 bundle on a normal 8ta contract sim
it wasnt available to load previously, but it seems to be working fine so far
hopefully it doesnt get cancelled as well

It looks like 2+1 Promo is no longer limited to non-roaming SIM.

True but read the fine print you still have to be in a Telkom Mobile zone to make use of 2gig+1gig, 60gig+60gig. etc. Option 1, All networks, option 2 Telkom mobile/8ta network.

I don't think anyone expected otherwise

If it is true, I expect many unsatisfied customers charged OOB when leaving 8ta zone.

Morning gents - was at 8ta shop at waterfront this morning. I checked with the lady there, After 24 months, it will continue month to month at the same price - R199, until you decide to terminate.

My Internet 5 promo ends in the middle of July and knowing that I would be overseas at the time, I went into my local 8ta shop (Cresta) in mid-March (before I knew that the promo was ending) to find out what will happen once the contract expires - will it continue on a month-to-month basis at the non-promotional price (R950) or continue month-to-month at R199. Two people told me it continues at R199. I made the one guy sign a document stating such. I'm sure it wouldn't stand up in court (I just hand-wrote it there in the store), but I wanted something in writing to record what he told me, because I wasn't confident that he knew what he was talking about.

It certainly seems crazy to me that they would allow one to continue month-to-month at the promotional rate. I understand that if you have the 10+10 you could continue at R299, because that option is still being offered. But they're not offering the plain 10GB at R199 anymore. I wish someone could definitively confirm this!

Ï was on a promo rate with MTN for about 9 years, so its not impossible
I took out a weekender contract for R30 pm, after the 2 years I didnt upgrade or change packages
I stayed on finally callemheymonth to month and they didnt remove the promo discount

They finally called me about 18 months ago that the promo will be removed, thats when I changed to RBM

Firstly I need to know if we are we allowed to sell/transfer it? What if you use extra gigs and then I'm charged for it? :eek:

Rather have peace of mind and sign on the dotted line yourself. Even if they transfer the phone it's subject to vetting.
