Buying data bundle online, Vodacom and Absa.

[Tommygun]

Buying data for my phone changed with absa online and Im confused (easily), I tried to get hold of absa but after over 10 mins on hold I mailed them this. Maybe one of you lot can explain it so I dont have to wait 24 days for a response.

Thanks for looking!

Hi there,
buying data for the phone (vodacom) online has suddenly changed and without any explanatory notes either.

I used to just buy an amount (say 250MB) that lasted 31 days from when I bought it. It was a data bundle once off.

Now I'm presented with various amounts as before but with 3x or 6x next to them.

eg R29(50MB x 3 months)
or
R119 (100MB x 6 months)

R219 (250MB x 6 months)

for my first example do I pay once a total of R29 and get 50MB every month for 3 months (paying a total of R29 for 150MB of data) or do I get billed R29 every month for 3 months (paying R87 for 150MB)

Does the data roll over or does it still only last 31 days?

What if I want to use 50MB one month and 150MB the following month? |Can i no longer just buy a once off bundle?

Have you tried asking them that question on one of their Social Media pages ?

Sometimes they will respond to you their much quicker than an email.
