Typical - price increase, benefits decrease.

Telkom's FreeMe packages also come with social data.
CellC 500MB bundle: https://www.cellc.co.za/cellc/get-databundles R99, add the WhatsApp bundle for R12.50, it's R111.50
Telkom 500MB bundle: https://secure.telkom.co.za/today/shop/personal/plan/freeme-500mb-boost/ R69, 500MB IM and VoiP included, 100 SMS, 300 minutes to Telkom numbers (inc. landline).
I don't find CellC's offerings compelling. They're network isn't that great and yet their prices keep increasing.

Lol Cell C's switcharoo trick is Infinite.
Thanks for the table. Please graph it for maximum effect.

Exactly. WhatsApp data usage is only ever a problem for peasants who buy R10 data/airtime at a time.

I average about 800MB a month. This includes a lot of documents, calls, etc. as it's easier than e-mailing the stuff. WhatsApp calls are about a meg every two minutes.
I occasionally also send music over WhatsApp as I have a couple of friends where we share music with one another.
Fair. But I'll be damned if I ever have to use Whatsapp, Telepath, etc. for business purposes.

Fair point. I reject WhatsApp calls, and ignore voice notes. Call I'll take from someone in another country, on a good connection. Otherwise, TSEK

I prolly use it to remove the f#cking annoying status notifications(mostly videos)! Being on MTN it kills my data whenever I am not home(wifi)

I did have an instance where a lady wanted me to send her porn videos on whatsapp. I asked her why don't I just come over and forget about watching clips. Yeah, I was real smooth.
She declined
That kack hardly works. Rather send first, get them all percolatory first.

She wasn't sending them because she wanted to shag you. She was sending them to show you what you're never going to get

Not business purposes, it's for uni stuff. Business purposes I'd demand at least Google Drive > link so I can organize it to a folder on my drive. Upgraded to R290 for 100GB storage a year and currently at 60GB.
If both are on WiFi or LTE, the call quality is comparable to a normal call while being "free". I don't see the point of not using VoIP unless I know the other person doesn't have data or it's a Telkom number. Used to also use Skype on my phone, but the update made the interface horrendous, it also has a tendency to randomly unlock my phone if I got a message and not let the lock screen kick in after 2 minutes, screen permanently on while in my pocket and the battery dies.
I accept voice notes from people if they're driving.
Don't be ridiculous - that Telkom price is on a 24 month contract. With Cell-C you can add the Whatsapp bundle to any prepaid OR contract you have. (Contracts are bad, in case you didn't know).
No, it's not.
....Why would anyone wanna shag Slootvreter?
