Is the first 7 days still unlimited 24/7 on new orders? Received mine today but do not see anything about it.

Thanks, wonder why it started using peak data if my spend limit is 0. Will have to contact them

Sometimes it happens as an error but your account balance won't go up if it was the bug

I received my SIM today and my peak limit is set to 0gb, but it’s now past 6 and I am still streaming DSTV Live.

PS I just checked my account and it shows that I used 0.38gb at R16 of peak data. That is a bit disconcerting because if I left the house with a large download in progress...

Someone mentioned something like this in another thread:

It's because they apply pro-rata. To make up the maximum of the R250 from the uncapped deal, they charge you normal rates when you use data between 6PM-11PM.

So let's say you only have to pay R170 for this month (pro-rata on the unlimited cap deal).
Now there's a limit in place where you can accrue charges during 6PM-11PM until you hit the cap of R250, then it cuts off, unless you increase the limit.

Yes even with a Limit set of R250 the time the uncapped deal is activated it's pro rata so the first month there will always be some allowance of peak data if you set the limit to R250. From the following month where you have the uncapped option from the 1st day of the new month the R250 limit will prevent peak usage.

Thanks guys, that makes perfect sense
