As silly as this sounds, is there a way to load a TM and a AllNetwork bundle and just make it use the TM bundle when in TM/8ta signal area?

The TM data bundles are cheaper, and I'd just buy the AllNetwork one for MTN for the times I am out of TM signal, most of the time I am in TM network. But I don't want to keep adding AllNetwork data if that gets depleted on TM.

Yes you have been able to do that for a long time already.....

Just load the bundles from the web or on your phone. It will use the ALL for MTN or TM and TM data just for the TM network.

yes I know that, but in what order. I want it to deplete the TM bundle when on TM, not the ALL bundle just because it also happens to work on the TM network as well. Kinda like having 2 data balances, one for all networks and one for TM.

the order doesn't matter.... They will use TM only bundle first if you are on TM network and use the all data for roaming or IF you DON'T have the TM only bundle added.

I did test it a couple of months back and works well. Even if you just load a TM only bundle and no all bundle once your phone roams you get a SMS saying that your airtime is being used for data now cause of roaming.

Test it out you will see that they do split it like you want it to be split. Its actually very impressive that they got it working right. R149 bundle and a 250mb all bundle and you are sorted especially if you live in a area with good TM coverage like me.

Thank you.

Will test it this week, found an old 8ta prepaid sim. Kudos to them if they got this right
