Hi 8ta

When will you offer a dual sim for the 10gb package? My iPad is begging you...

Hi product development is still busy developing a similar product/service.
Unfortunately we have no launch date yet.
Thank you

Any chance of it being offered with prepaid too? Having to pop out my SIM card out of my iPad and into my dongle is a bit of a pain.

Howzit bwana, where did u get the adapter to allow you to put ur micro sim into your dongle?

The only other alternative is for someone to hurry up and JB the damned ipad2 so we can install a personal hotspot thing. Why the hell the iPad doesn't support this functionality out of the box Steve alone knows, and he took that secret to his grave

Simple cut an old credit/telkom telephone calling card and voila you have a working adapter. It's not that difficult here

Just a suggestion- why not get a Vodafone R201 3G router and leave the sim card in there?

Because my ipad and laptop are mobile.
I have wifi/adsl at home. I use the 8ta for when I am not home.

The R201 is a mobile router. Check out the review:

OOOOH!
Thanks. That is cool. Dual-sim or jailbreak still a farkton cheaper though

Where would I look for one of these R201 jobbies?

So is it available, or when will it be available, and if so will it be for any package?

Can't you just tell the product development guys to do it? It really can't be that hard that they've been "working on it" for over a year now. Either they're pretty incompetent at their jobs or they simply don't want to do it - I really don't see another option here.

Hi Speedster

:erm: There is a roll out process which has a number of departments to consider. We have informed the product development manager and staff regarding this post and have been given a similar response.

Any news on this? Almost a year later??

 

[Mr K]

I would like to know as well. Hope they will do something before end of March.
My 60+60GB is expiring at the end of march.
After March I want to share my 10 gig special between work and home(with out removing the sim from router at home)

Any news on this? Almost a year later??

so I take it that with no response from 8ta on my question in weeks that this is not happening anytime soon, although this was promised back in 2011...
