[stormwalkerza]

Edit - R2/pmeg Fine - Paying for free minutes ???

[Update on this after getting online itemised billing statement]

My bad ppl, i idmit i was a bit peeved at first glance. Only saw read - The calculations are done exvat first. So my total bad. Wish things were displayed a bit clearer - not having to dig through all the paper work - but atleast it did give other finds ...

Only other issue i found out a tad later is being charged full rates when going it to free minutes time..

Just Noticed on my phone bill contract people pay R2.28 per meg.

So, Vodacom have "defrauded?" me of Between R80 & R120 between the 3 contracts i pay. over the past 2 months alone, cant find my previous invoices, pc re-install ...

Times that by all the other contract customers on mY Meg 0 ....
