Clarification needed on My Choice 75 Packages

[3Gee]

Can the R75 allocated on the MY CHOICE TOPUP PACKAGES be used for DATA , or must a DATA PACKAGE be added , according to some members a package must be added , according to the dealers and brochures the R75 can be used for both AIRTIME AND DATA

On the MYCHOICE Topup you can use the R75 for data but it can't be converted into a Data Bundle, you have to take a Data Bundle for additional data usage

Hope this clarity’s things

There is no expiry - i've carried over for almost three years and there has never been a problem.

Is there a limit to the data bundle that can be loaded? I have a 100MB data bundle and am looking to load a 350 MB would that be possible?

Yep you can load a 350mb or 1 GB for that matter, but you must allocate it through your service provider (read : difficult to change data bundles as you need them)

You can only allocate one bundle at a time for a period of a month

Thanks MTNDD

I was told by the people at 808 that the R75 airtime expires after 2 months if you don't use it... is that true MTNDD or was I misinformed again?

I asked 808 the same question about my free minutes and sms's on my MyCall 100 contract and got the same answer:

Free minutes and sms's older than 2 months will be forfited at the end of the two month period. eg. any free minutes allocated for the period of 13 July to 13 August will be forfitted if not used by 13 September.

So I asked if this is the same for Top Up 75 and was told yes.

So I am back at being discon***ulated....

I think it may be true. We need to check on the expiration rules.
