Question of the Day: Have you ever ordered a product online and received a fake knock-off?
HTC Desire - MTN Anytime 200 contract?
- Thread starter rsd
- Start date
Nope, the call rates are better on business top up than on top up 315s. Much better - as much as 30c / minute less for peak vodacom to cell c for example.

Not according to the MTN person I just spoke to. Its for calls only.
Update:
The MTN guy is a idiot.
From the MTN site:

correct.... according to one of the autopage guys the data bundles are over and above the original signed contract(for both vodacom and mtn contracts). so it would seem that the mtn anytime 200 + a data bundle is still the best deal
so have they stopped that ridiculous term which stated you had to use a majority of the airtime for voice calls? if so I am quite glad. i think this may be the case as on mtnsp i no longer have the option to activate data bundles as a service.

You've lost me - that do you mean to buy a data bungle?
If you have MTN200 it means you have R200 to use for voice calls/sms's/internet surfing correct?

You can use your R200 airtime for whatever you want to, BUT you CANNOT buy any bundles or transfer the airtime. (Thays how I have it, but I'm not on MTN, on Vodacom TopUp you can buy bundles but can not transfer Airtime.)
Thus you CAN use the internet, but you will browse at OOB rates, I think R2/meg you won't be able to buy the 100meg for R80 thus browsing at 80c/meg.
I do not know how the MTN Anytime and TopUp compares.

Ahh - ok. Thanks.
Just to clarify further, you can buy a data bundle which will give you a better OOB rate when its used up, you just cant use your R200 included contract airtime to buy the data bundle. You will be billed separately, but the cool thing is it lowers your OOB rate for 60 days or something, so when the bundle is used, your R200 airtime is used for data at the adjusted OOB rate, not R2 per meg.
Not at all confusing

I'm currently on Top up 200 on Vodacom, My airtime gets carried over quite often, then i convert R289 of it into 1gb(1.2gb now) data.
I don't know how MTN works, but on Vodacom you can convert the regular Top Up contract air time to data on the vodacom4me site.

With this particular contract (Anytime 200) you can't do that unfortunately.
I do exactly what you do at the moment. I'm on a Business Top Up contract and also use excess airtime for data bundles.

i did not know this.
I'd double check. That is what I was told.
Equally possible that I didn't phrase the question properly though...
I called Nashua and they said the pay in for the Desire was 2700. Then they emailed me the pricelist and it said 3300. I emailed back asking why the other guy said 2700, got a response saying pricelist was correct and that she doesn't know anything about 2700.
Needless to say, I'm Confused.
Maybe going directly through MTN SP is a better option, will email. Can I ask how much anyone on MTN200 paid?

Haha, ye they are dodgy, however the old man is paying my cell bill so must check with him, is it easy to move from nashua to MTNSP once the contract is reaching it's end?

Yes, I did and while MTN sp have their issues they're still way better than Nashua.
