Not personally (yet) but I'm sure many, many folks out there are :mad:

How are vodacom in today's data intensive environment allowed to offer high-end smartphones on packages with 75MB of data? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. OOB shark bait is all it is.
 
Vodacom explained that the commercial model varies based on market factors such as the consumer demand and the competitive environments in each market.

The above highlighted statement translates directly into "because we can get away with it in South Africa". Thank you for being honest, Vodacom.
 
Pretty simple.

What choice do the clients have?

+1 I came here to say this.

So essentially what they're saying is that as long there's no competition in the market they can keep ripping people off as long as they want to.

Vodafone didn't buy out the rest of Vodacom's shares to come and offer us better deals. They did it for the profit.

They could give me 100 million "free" sms' and it still wouldn't be a reason to be thankful.
Smartphone contracts should come with a minimum of 1GB data. 75 MB ... that's just trolling.
