Huawei B593 LTE Router Includes 25 gig once-off data R1999

[RichardG]

Morning folks came across an Edgars Mobile brochure the promotion runs from 23 FEB - 10 March 2014 available at selected Edgars&CNA as stated in the advert you pay R1999 and receive the following :Huawei B593 LTE Router(not sure which sub version it is 82/22 etc) includes 25 gig once-off data (Not sure if is the same router that Telkom Mobile advertised which possibly could include day / night.

I am getting itchy fingers to buy this product but always technology becomes advanced and a product becomes EOL(end of life - no longer manufacturing) due to a later model being on the market.

Q: Would you purchase the LTE Huawei B593 Router ? Read somewhere on the forum that someone imported them in the country with taxes added etc R1250.

Q: Will this work on CELL C/ MTN / Vodacom for 3 G use ?

Unfortunately don't have a link tried guzzle to see if they updated the catalog..

Don't have the catalog near me.

Just contact an EDGARS and tell them to put you through to the cellular counter - Then ask the salesperson about the Telkom Mobile Huawei B593 LTE router deal for R1999

Depending on which B593 you have, these are the bands supported, so check which band the operator you intend on using operates in:

4G: LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600 MHz

3G HSUPA/HSDPA/UMTS/DC-HSPA+ 900/2100 MHz

The specs above are for the Cat4 B593.

They advertised it on their promotion leaflet as 25 gig, not 2(.)5 gig data. I will visit the store later on today..

Yip. Actually: 1 MB (Mega Bytes) = 8 Mb (Mega Bits)
Then 25600Mb = 3200MB, much closer

You get my point

OP please change the title to 2.5 gig.

It doesn't seem to be a promotion after all. They had over 500 flyers or more on the counter .

I think it is sufficient to edit the first message, it will correct problem. And in other places on MyBB you posted this; I saw it in five places at least.

Anyone found a router on this special. I have been to 5 stores and all say the same thing, they dropped off pamphlets and a display router and no stock.

Okay I left my name at Canal Walk, Cavendish, N1 City, Tygervalley and Waterfront and also checked at the CNA's in those centres.
Canal Walk had some yesterday, I bought one. I asked why they didn't call me when stock came in, answer was no one checked the book.
