Canceling a data contract after the two years?

[Park@82]

A friend of mine has a 3g data contract that is about to reach the end of the two year period.
Would the sim automatically stop working after the contract expired or do you have to manually cancel the contract?

Knowing the cellphone providers you need to cancel 3 months before the contract expires or it will continue. I would cancel the contract even if they told you it isn't required.

You will need to give a month's notice of your intention not to renew.

You will need to give a month's notice of your intention not to renew.

That is a calendar months' notice or else your account will just continue and you get no benefit from a new modem or router.
You can also now renew on a lower cost if you don't take a device with the new data contract (R283 for 1gb or R383 for 2gb at Chatz Cellular)

As was mentioned, you need to tell them officially you wish to stop the contract. The contract will continue on a month-to-month basis after the 2 years, same as phone contracts....until you either cancel or upgrade.

Yea - you do have to give them 1 month notice otherwise month by month.

I've just cancelled my 2GB for R449.00 and signed up on a month-by-month Data SIM at R389.00 or something to that effect. Save R720.00 per year with that little move

I'd have though that after the 24 months, it would automattically drop to R389.00pm since you're not subsidising a modem anymore - but they're not that kind

Thanks for the replies guys.

My 3G contract with Vodacom ends 17 June. I phoned 082 1958 and was told I could notify them by 15 June to end the contract by 30 June.
