Cell C data rip off?

[TimTDP]

Cell C charge R69 for 1GB "On Contract"
This I can't use because I can't bolt it onto my current Cell C voice contract.
I need to buy a SmartData bundle for R149
Yet I can buy 1.2GB prepaid for R89

So why is the SmartData bundle so expensive?

And I thought that they were purportedly simplifying the options!

Get a dual sim phone, then you can have cheap voice and cheap data. - same applies to Vodacom.

I use the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Duos - great phone !

Other operators do the same.

Yes, big money making scam.

The only way past it is with a dual sim phone.

That is also why the operators do not provide dual sim phones, you have to buy grey market or import.

where do you find that bundle option? im on prepaid and i do not see it in the bundle purchases

i.e *147# option 4 then option 1
