So your 5+5 will now cost you R396.00
Axxess 6+6 will cost you R 379.00
You choose, I know what I will do I'm currently on 5+5 Mobile as well.

And Axxess gives you rollover. I have already switched.
Axxess is doing some really good deals at the moment for mobile data, it's a pity they aren't getting enough air time on MyBB due to their crappy ISP offerings.
Not to bad at allWill be signing up.
Awesome. I'm loving Simfy, for me that's worth the extra bucks, not to mention an extra SIM for my wife's iPad (she keeps borrowing mine)

I don't know about that, their 100+100 capped is cheaper than AH, with the extra R99pm.
And faster, according to my tests.
You're dropping existing clients double data though, aren't you
?
We debated extensively about the whole bolt-on idea, which is something we've resisted for a while. But we've also wanted to have something for a while that can give clients an extra level of value for just a little more. We think this is a great compromise. We'll do what we can to make this as simple as possible for clients, but clients will get the full benefit.
The product will be linked to specific products, though you can link your double data to a different product to your 2 for 1 topups (as I understand the workings of it).
But you can have multiple Plus products if you want to cover more accounts.

However should you need to ever top up the picture changes.
AH 10.5gigs (5+5+.5) = R396 (-R60 for people with streaming service benefit, but lets leave it out for argument sake). Topup 2 gigs (2+2) = 14gigs = R99 extra = R495-00 total EDIT: Wait I think it is R594 I may have halved the double data twice
Axxess 12gigs (6+6) = R379. Topup 2 gigs = 14gigs = R220 extra = R599-00 total
I think it is safe to say that this package only benefits higher end mobile data users? Only downside is no data rollover.
Again feel free to check my maths I rushed through it.

We're not selling additional content. If you want the benefits, you can get them. If you don't need them, you're all good. I don't think it's really the same thing.
You should be able to nominate any account for topups, but accounts that don't qualify for double data now won't be eligible on the promo.
If you add up the potential value, it's definitely worth the price. Just having 500MB of data (for R58 cost) and Simfy already adds up to more than R99
We do try to get a sense from our clients, but we felt that with Plus there is something in it for everyone who would opt for it. Since it's also completely optional, clients will vote by whether they sign up or not.

Those are worth zero to me, so I am going to have to switch to Axxess.
We're still here, engaging and listening and we'll keep doing our best to bring our clients voices to the people that need to hear them. We've grown, but we're also making sure that we grow in the right ways to never lose our connection to our clients.
I think the fact that we've been answering and providing information is proof that we are listening.
If it's not financially viable to keep the double data promo going without customers opting for the bolt-on, you should consider looking at Web Africa's capped business model. Pushing some of the gigs to after hours will change the cost equation quite a bit. You could probably afford to give people even more gigs for the same price.
Another option would be to include extra after hour gigs as a part of the bolt-on deal.

Hey Afriman. Completely on a side note. Have they ever considered a gig a day (2 gigs even) without daily rollover? I mean specifically for Mobile data, but perhaps something similar could work for ADSL who knows.
In other words we essentially get 30gigs a month at most but for a lower cost. But there are days some people won't use the full allowance - if at all. Afrihost takes the winnings.
Just a random thought might not work, might be a stupid idea...

I think the point is moot considering that the product has been withdrawn but with those of us with multiple SIMS there needs/ed to be clarity.
