iPhone 6 Plus Vodacom contract prices

If you consider Note 4 is R599 on Smart M then pricing seems out of wack.Vodacom clearly taking advantage of limited stock vs demand.Reckon a lot of people are itching for the 6 plus
 
at least you'r covered with included data for the first day... or maybe not, if u need to do first run of updates :-)
they probly assuming everybody that can afford the I6+ will have proper wifi everywhere they go
 
They are clearly on crack!! Who would fall for such a rip off?! Vodacom needs to re check their pricing model!
Also, why are they still offering data bundles below 1GB on a smartphone - and that at such a ridiculous price? To use a phone effectively these days, 1GB is the minimum required! Wake up Voda. You're still thinking like you did a few years back.
 
I would be interested to know what the contract prices for the iPhone 6 (not iPhone 6 Plus) will be. I am on pre-order for a 16 gig iPhone 6 but no one contacted me yet. Seems they forgot about me :(

Exactly. And it is unlikely that people will opt for the 16 gig. It is just too small for such a beast. I guess that the increments will be by R100's a month. So the 64gb will probably retail for R700 and the 128gb for R800. That is a lot of dough for a phone. For those who take it up, I hope Vodacom throws in some extra data as they did with the iPhone 5s. (500 meg extra a month).
 
Vodacom should maybe consider asking for an upfront payment of say R1000 or R2000 to reduce the subscription fees. I would happily pay R2000 upfront on my iPhone 6. (If I get it one day).

Unaffordable for you?

Nah. I find Vodacom contracts to be ridiculous.

Had 2 long standing contract with them previously but told them to bounce and since then I've bought my phones outright and used prepaid. I get cheaper call rates now too.

For *most* people 16G is more than enough. WHat do they store on their phones that takes up room?
Photos is the obvious one and they synch off to iCloud...

Sure if you are the sort to watch a lot if video then you need more

Yes correct. Pricing will settle down by March
