Cellc new daily data bundles

HideInLight said:
This pretty good. Btw what's the fastest way possible to buy the bundle?

*147#
4
1
1
1

Actual options.
(1-5)

Is it possible to string those together and get immediately thrown into the selection?

If it's not possible I suggest something like *147*24# that throws you directly into the daily bundle screen. That way, if I want my parents to use it I can just create a "Daily Bundle" contact.

Fastest way:
*109#
 
So weirdly.. checked my sim now. My 1gb nitedata is still there... my 10rand airtime and bonus airtime for recharging 20r is gone. Why would the connection not use the data in the bundle... left it in my wifi router and queued utorrent on my laptop.

You didn't say whether uTorrent managed to download anything, and if so whether your normal data was affected. Can't comment without that info.

Apologies for my unclarity.

It downloaded around 300 mb... at 15c per mb that should be my 10rand + bonus airtime...

Then it stopped. Will I have to only start my session past 1am to benefit from the bundle? the mifi router does not drop the connection every 2 minutes like our phones do...

Try adjusting your PC's clock to be a few minutes slow so uTorrent gives the Cell C system a few minutes to adjust? Also, just call Cell C and ask them about it.

I would have run into the same issue, so you have my thanks for being a guinea pig.

Good to know that using a phone works. tTorrent Pro for Android is a better product than uTorrent imo, so scheduling torrents on my phone wouldn't be an issue. And I'll likely only need mobile night data if I'm out of the house and only have a phone to download with.
 
Just called the service centre now to confirm if you can add nite data bundles to your existing data contract. Not even the Team leader has any confirmation from head office. Chick had the most awesome voice ever though :D

So has anyone tried yet ? i cant try as im not at home currently ... :mad:

T&C clearly state only prepaid and top up customers.

No prob, got a prepaid sim in my s3. Will it add up if i buy multiple bundles or will it only take 1 gig at a time ? srsly need to get out of work now :p

I gig per day is my research so far. Will update past 1am.

I guess its to keep the usage low. Could you imagine the network crawl if you could add multiple bundles ? Please update , will be checking :D (that time im busy playing online games etc) one of the lucky few who dont have issues with anything (-60dbm) no congestion
 
So... I bought my 1gb Nitedata on sunday at 22h00...

It was still in my sim at 21h00 yesterday (monday)

I woke up now to start my downloads and oh ****... data bundle is gone.

this is stupid ****. Ill buy it again on weekends.

Out. And over.
 
Seems to fine, just as slow/fast as normally. No throttling on torrents, everything seems normal.
 
This sucks, just lost r15 airtime duu to stupid oob. My usage sbowed as 980 on mdma. But it must of been 1075 on cellc side.
