Just received this SMS when recharging with R50!

CellC rock!

You have successfully recharged your prepaid account with R 50.00 and have also received R 50.00 Weekend Special Airtime.

When does the weekend start, 17h00 Friday?

I know it ends midnight on Sunday, but when does it start?

According to the article you can.

The airtime can be used to make Cell C to Cell C calls, send SMSes and MMSes or for Internet data usage

At which rate- 15c or 99c/mb?

 

[SeRpEnT]

If I buy airtime from FNB (via online banking) will I also qualify for the weekend airtime?

Hi
Just to make a correction your data bundle will be used up first and then your weekend special airtime if you have a bundle that was loaded you will be charged 15cents per MB(for the period in which the bundle is valid) and if you don’t have a bundle you will be charged 99 cents per MB

CellC weekend special Mistake on website

I think there has been a mistake on the advert. It says R35 + R35 = R75.00
Just letting you know.

Not So Special

Tried purchasing data bundles with the weekend special airtime with no success. Then I called the call centre they told me bundle purchases can not be done with this airtime. Sigh! This promotion has become useless to me, I have airtime which is pretty much useless to me... Why oh why Cell C?

OOB when your data bundle is depleted is 15c right? So If I load 50Meg and that runs out, the weekend special will essentially also give me 50MB

In theory, yes, but just keep an eye on it until this problem is resolved:

i like this weekend promo.

 

[HideInLight]

Well if I was paying the old OOB rate I wouldn't of been able to post this. So i guess it does go over to 15c.
