How to purchase data bundles online?

Bump.

Trying to buy a once off bundle now that it's the first of the month and when I click My Meg 30 Once-off, all I get is a page with this:

There were some reports of people wanting to buy once-off (ad hoc) bundles, but ending up with month-to-month bundles here and here.

It has happened to a friend of mine as well. Has it been established whether it is a problem with the new vodacom.co.za site, or was it just user-error in all three cases?
Is there anything my friend can do to get this fixed?

 

[ginggs]

Anyone?

Anyone?

It MUST be people who selected the wrong bundles. Surely you don't want to suggest that Vodacom's new site that "features all the functionality from the old Vodacom4me site" is at fault!

There prices are quite reasonable.

There prices are quite reasonable.

I wish they were less though, still very expensive compared to other countries.

Will i be able to add a Data Bundle onto my Top Up contract? I went into a Vodacom store and i am not sure if they just didn't understand me.
They kept wanting me to buy a 24 month contract that comes with a 3G Data Card. :-/.

That would count as one of the daftest things you've ever done...

huh? They were the ones suggesting that. I just wanted a 500Mb bundle added onto my current contract.

I've just found out it happened to another friend of mine as well. Coincidently, around the time the New Night Owl Promotion started.

I think it has happened to the first friend again.
He used the new vodacom.co.za site and very carefully selected the once-off bundle.
He received the following SMS:

Your MY GIG 2.3 Ad hoc Bundle service has been activated

When he checked *111*500# he saw this:

Data bundle: 4.59GB, 2.30GB Night Owl Data Bundle expires on 20101231

Either Night Owl is now on once-off bundles, or he has been given a month-to-month bundle again.
