Free data from Vodacom using Opera Mini during the weekend

Honestly Vodacom. What is the one thing your customers have been screaming for: "We want a custom browsers and free weekend browsing"? Uuum no. It's: "bigger caps and better prices".

To MTN and Vodacom: You are getting left behind in the broadband market. Better OOB rates are fine and dandy, but they don't affect the majority of your customers on pre-paid who mange their bundles. Theoretical speeds and other gimmicks is not what the market is asking for. Look what MWeb has done for the ADSL market, suddenly there is life again. Wake up or loose customers, you already are.

The URL in the SMS didn't work so I downloaded OM5 from Opera's mobi site. I'm guessing that without this "Vodacom enhancement" I won't get free weekend data?

Download 4.2. Then there will be a link in it to upgrade to Vodafone Opera.

Opera Mini has no flash of a kind. His big brother Opera has, thus you can stream videos on the browser, but not on Opera Mini as yet.
 
This is a joke, right? it must be a late april fools joke. it has to be. come on VC, surely, you can do better than this guano!
 
Vodacom has a history of under estimating the intellect of it's users

Remember the "Midnite to 5am" promotion ?

What about the "Talking Points" promo ? - where you have to spend about R20,000 over 2 months (no rollover) to qualify for a c**p hone

Got myself a MTN sim just for data last week
 
Sent the SMS, got the link, downloaded the app. I had to use the VLive access point though...
Works on N85.
 
Umm .. would be nice if one could actually connect to the VC network. I have now been without (reliable) internet for the past 33 hours! :mad:

Phone 082-155 for the latest developments! :D
 
Can you crack a vodacom USB modem to use a MTN sim card. I tied inserting a MTN sim card into mine and nothing happened. If you can then I'll be happy cause I can try out MTN's one day uncapped pass to see how much data I can extract in 24 Hours @ 128 kbps.

What's its down link?
You serious? 128kbps on PC, now that's nightmare.
 
Right it doesn't work on my Nokia 5800. Does Vodacoms enhanced opera actually work on any decent phones?
 
Well im happy. Got something for nothing. Already been using the vodafone enhanced opera mini for a while (couldn't find the proper version and opera kept on referring me back to the "vodafone enhanced" version). If it wasn't for opera mini i would have upgraded my phone years ago. Really extended its lifespan dramatically :)
 
Still unable to access the link. Can someone please post an alternative link?

Don't have an alternative. But uninstall Opera Mini 4.2, redownload again at mini.opera.com there shouls be an 'upgrade' link to Voda's Mini.
