iPad Mini Sim

[KevRSA]

Can you buy a vodacom mini sim for a iPad on prepaid? How much are the sims because I do not want a contract. And do you buy data bundles off *111#
fir the iPad thanks for all the help

Take a normal SIM and cut it smaller! Google it - there's tons of videos on the subject. If you're scared to do it, get an old one (most people I know have one laying around) and practice first, or buy two. Did it with mine and it works fine.

In terms of reloading data-bundles - make sure you register on Vodacom's website before you cut it smaller. Then you should be able to reload from the site, rather than *111#. I actually buy databundles for mine directly from FNB (although I have the Broadband Starterpack which gives you 100MB per month for 12 months).

Do a google search (something like "microsim template"), it is very easy to cut a normal sim down. I've done about 6 now with no problem.

You can also buy a microsim adapter on eBay for using the microsim in a normal phone if you ever need to.

Take to heart what ebendl said. You can't SMS from the iPad.

Okay so I cut a practise sim and it worked but I do have a question I see you can buy bundles off vodacoms site but how would you load airtime on to the mini sim first?

 

[BrokenRSA]

I do it via internet banking on ABSA, I can top up that way. I'm sure other banks have similar options.

 

[KevRSA]

I can't do internet banking is there a alternitive?

 

[BrokenRSA]

I'm sure there must be, alternatively you could ask someone that does have internet banking to buy airtime for you, and just pay them back.

Well u can also load airtime via an atm or cellphone banking like drawing cash or making a payment it is always listed under prepaid services....
