Im a little bit confused, yesterday at about 6pm I noticed that a buddy of mine was getting free gprs. On R0.00 airtime he is using a Motorola V360 from Mtn. As soon as I saw it I immediately got myself an Mtn sim since Im using Voda on prepaid on my Motorola V360v(vodafone). I got the settings and tried connecting but there is nothing. Someone please help me is it my settings or is it because of the Vodafone handset? Whats the problem.

This happens from time to time. Some days (weekends mostly) the data appears limitless.

Hi
With prepaid an amount is reserved prior to the session being started, meaning that if you have a balance of R1, at the start the entire R1 will be reserved. So if the session is on, a balance request will reflect R0. Once the session is over it works out exactly how much of the R1 was utilised and returns the unused amount if any.
Regards
