Is it still worth ordering the sim for the R250 off peak deal, when is it expiring?

Yes, so the minimum spend is R250 if you want uncapped and no peak R50/GB charges.

I tried to get mine to R250 end of September by turning off my router the evening of 30 September and changing the spend the next day (on another internet connection) to R250 but strangely it has used some data and I could only set it to R251. Will try again end of this month.

Mine is R250 and even though there is a bit of leakage, I'm not billed for it.

They haven't indicated an expiry and you get 15 days unlimited with the sim so it's well worth it.

You can also set your spend limit to R0 meaning data stops during peak times. They include 14 days of uncapped peak with the sim. Not sure if you can use that during off peak as well.
Can you choose when to use the 14days or is it automatically the first 14 days after getting the sim?

With the R250 off peak is there no soft cap or FUP, eat as much as you want?

From activation.

Don't know.

They allow up to 3 SIMs. How are the activation dates set? Can these be staggered or are they activated simultaneously? After 15 days with one SIM can I start afresh with 15 days on the next SIM?

R250 off peak uncapped is nice but it really looks like I may have to get a Telkom 10GB for R139 for the peak hours for general browsing during peak hours.
