Samsung S4 and a Blu, both are set to use the correct apn, but it will work and then stop.

Are you running any custom ROMs on those devices? Do you know which build of Android they are on?

No custom roms, Samsung Android Lollipop, all updates installed , Blu using Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Edition, all updates installed. As I said it works and then stops, then its dead for days and then it will work again. Very unstable.

In the OP's case he is combining a Free 250MB package with a PrePaid Mobile Data package, with our system using the oldest data available first.

Yes, I know. I just told you that. There, where you quoted me.


AfriGenie said:
If you want a pool of data that doesn't expire and can be replenished as needed then the PrePaid packages make sense.

It depends entirely on what you need to use the data for. :)

I think you missed my point. It would be very simple to implement and understand if all data was treated the same and none of it expired. You wouldn't have to worry about which was being used first. If I deposit money in a savings account, it's there for me to use. I don't have to withdraw it in any order and it doesn't expire. It's just money and if I still have some, I can use it.

Try not to see my post as an opportunity to tell me what your product can do - I know what it can do, and I'm suggesting that as a customer, I'd prefer it if it did things differently. You may agree with me or you may not, and you may ignore my suggestion, or you might pass it on to those who decide how things will work. I have very low expectations, but still feel I have the right to make suggestions. :)
 
I also had a problem with this Afrihost Mobile dataforall 250Mb package. It used to work fine and then suddenly stopped working even though I had plenty of data available. I contacted them and was told it was due to me using an older iPhone.

I then tried the same SIM in a Galaxy S5 and had the same problem. Luckily I managed to get one of the MTN Black Friday specials so I am using MTN again.

I think I'm going to have to ask our Critical Care Team to look into this, could you PM me your wife's account details and the numbers that you are using the APN on.
 
Might seem like a dumb question, but how do I register for this? Is there anyway I could use airtime to purchase this bundle?

You just need to check out THIS page. :)

We accept payment via Debit Order or Credit Card. I'm afraid that we can't accept payment via airtime at the moment. :(
 
I have two sim cards (neither has been activated yet) on the R1 #dataforall deal, i will be cancelling one of them, when must I cancel by in order not to be billed R29 for 250MB for February?

Wtf do you u need to cancel to prevent getting a bill?

I didn't see that in the terms, thought it just expired?

Yes, I remember reading that they will auto-cancel the package at the end of the promotional period.

Oh ok thanks, so then just re-activate if it is needed I suppose. Just checked that email from Gian sent on 26 September 2016:
What happens after January?

To be honest I'm not sure. In January we'll decide whether to revise, extend or stop the promotion - Whatever happens we'll let you know in January.

No matter what we decide I am sure about this: We will never charge you another cent more than that first Rand unless you specifically choose to top-up with more data or upgrade your package.
