8ta More to Original plan

[Avizn19]

Hi, just wanted to know if there is a way to change back to the original 8ta plan, I'm currently on 8ta More, and want to go back to the original plan.

Hi there

This is confirmed as per our terms and conditions on http://www.8ta.com/plans/prepaid-voice/:

8ta more is the default prepaid tariff plan. 8ta subscribers who migrate to 8ta more will not be able to migrate back to the previous prepaid plan/s.

Regards,

There has to be a way to change back.

The original plan is better than 8ta More, that is why they do not want you to switch back.

How is it better?

Getting free minutes when people call you is pretty cool. "Please continue, Mr Insurance salesman. You're on speaker phone, but I hear every word..."

8ta More is also good. You load R210 airtime and send 420 SMSs with your free airtime. Then you buy a 1000 SMS bundle with the non free air time over the next month. R210/1420 = 0.15c per SMS.

It is much cheaper, only 65 cents per minute to call fixed lines. Even in peak hours.

You do need to remember the essential restriction with that free airtime, whether you use it for voice, data or SMS: it's only valid for 7 days after loading. And you can't use it to buy bundles.

previous 8ta prepaid was better for free minutes & landline calls.

8ta more is better during offpeak. 99cent for real still king at the moment.
