So why they offer MORE free calls to other networks than their own?

This was copied from the FreeMe 20GB Once off for 31 days option....

Another thing which doesn't make sense to me is why do you need 500mb of free instant messaging and VoIP data when you have 20gb's of data?

It's almost like the OP is complaining that it's too good.

Would you use a network that only offers you more on it's own network? Brilliant Marketing Strategy

Was cleared....the 300 is dedicated to theirs....so u get 1800 mins total....300 theirs plus 1500 to all...theirs included. This is good deal....i was just worried u can only use the 20gig on telkom network. Stil trying to find out if u will have 3g on roam? A website ive read said u will get 2g and not full lte/4g....so in need to know if it can go 3g at least....

Going in kalahari soon and their is mtn up to 42mb (hsdpa+)

Can someone confirm if it is possible to get a multisim on the Freeme contracts? Meaning 2 SIM cards on 1 contract. According to Telkom's Multisim policy this should not be a problem.

I can confirm that on the pre-paid FreeMe R599 bundle I can use the 20GB allowance on MTN as well as the 500MB Social Media allowance.

This applies to all of the FreeMe bundles. You just can't get 4G on MTN roaming.

I used a 500mb freeme on MTN 2G roaming inside the Transkei this past weekend
