Free Data!!!

On 500 MB hsdpa contract, should 25 MB not be 50MB free?

I received 25 MB, on a 500MB contract. I thought it should be the greater of 25MB or 10% of the Data Bundle purchased, and I assumed Data Bundle purchased should mean the same than the standard contract data per month?

I just bought a 5MB bundle for R9.25, *111#,1,6 says I have 30MB expiring on 2009/08/01. :D

That's R0.31 per MB. Rouxenator, how much is Virgin Mobile again?

:D:D

Don't forget Virgin doesn't even have 3G. If Vodacom does the correct type of marketing they could kill off Virgin (as small as they still are). I know many students buy the cheapie 5MB bundles to get onto mobile sites like facebook and to do mobile banking.

Nice Vodacom...too bad for me, i bought my 2gigs 2 weeks back.:(

I don't get option 6... or is that for prepaid cards
 
I hope that this stirs a little competition. R0.31/MB is cool and funny, considering the size of the bundle
 
Just bought 2 5meg bundles on the simcard I got with a phone I bought 2 weeks ago. I am now sitting with 60megs to blow. @31c/meg, I might just consider porting back to Vodacom:D Especially now that data rollovers are available. Someone convince me!!
And still waiting for Virgin Mobile to refund me for overcharging me for data in Febuary!!!:mad:

Apparently there was some problem loading the data correctly, and I will still get another 25 MB. I hope that is indeed true.

Same here:( .

Are you by any chance using a 3G/HSDPA device? The reason I ask is because I'm getting that message on MDMA on my modem, while *111# works fine on my phone which only has EDGE.

Edit: I tried switching MDMA to GPRS/EDGE but I'm still getting the same error, while on my phone it still works fine (2 different sims). Very strange.

On a phone.
Apparently you can also SMS "MymegX" to 100, where X is the bundle size. But how do you check that it worked?

SMS balance to 100;).

Edit: But it takes a while :(.

Thanx:p
(That also didn't work) Edit: yet
I guess if USSD is screwed up then the rest is too. I blame this 60 day maximum carryover thingy and the extra data. Now what was ICASA saying about being oversubscribed?

Pure 60 day rollover would have been so much better. The current system is just going to cause month end traffic jams.
 
Eisch!
Now I get a message saying "incorrect bundle size".
Have the 5meg bundles been stopped for the promo?
