DATA - expire date?

[Marius Flash]

How many of you Guys & Gals here on MBB agree that Data bought should be available until you deplete and use it all up?

This ridiculousness of your data is valid for 31 days is NOT ON !!

We buy airtime - is our airtime valid only for 31 days? NO
We buy Data - it should be valid until we use it up - we paid for it! And We should be able to use and keep our data as we like , just the same as when we purchase airtime.

Edit: And we don't need 2 or 3 months rollover data - we need NO EXPIRY ON DATA until it is used up!

If its any consolation, I agree

Ok.

I do understand why data expires, our costs are monthly. If everyone bought data this month and didn't use we wouldn't have any revenue "this month" where if they use it next month so it does throw network planning/cashflow a curveball.

Also what gives you a right to tell a private company what to do? Tell ICASA They are busy implementing OOB regulation and data expiry.

You can buy data that lasts a year if you want, it's just more expensive.

I feel your frustrations hey

But How does corporate retain and consolidate its profits via this proposed business model?

I thought about this once...then it hit me that my frustrations were better exerted elsewhere.

It should not be.
