Is there any reason not to get s3 mini with 5gb data for R169 a month?

Secured the last s3 mini at tygervalley.

Will pick up tomorrow , as did not have my bankstatements today.

Not sure what will happen to online order , will tell them to cancel

Guy in store told me no charges for billing and clip , but think he was lying even after i told him , on website it says it cost money.

Great stuff!!

The salesperson is right, CLIP is included in the contract pricing.

I think you will pay extra for itemised billing.

I'm not really surprised. The cretin at the shop was very confused when I asked about it and had to check on his computer. Going to get this.


That cretin should be reported.

****en areshole.

What the this is a crazy deal.... the 5GB a month alone is WAY worth it. Then you add the 100minutes and then add the phone... Wow...

speedtest done on my mifi.

yep app says recurring telkom mobile data , 5077mb left expiring 01 jan 2014 , because it rolls over 1 month.

85mb all inclusive left , expiring dec , no rollover on that.

Never ever believe a sales rep ever! Always take time to read your contract before signing on the dotted line.
Tick CLIP, TICK Itemlized billing :), remember back in the day it was compulsory for itemlized billing not CLIP

Welcome to the family!!

Since last month I could finally stop micro-managing my voice and data bundles, and incredibly happy with my phone & contract.

The Beast is looking good in Mobile form...

I need a better converged services deal- their blackberry deals suck. I need options on Simple Plan + Closer Plan + cellphone, voice & data.

My CellC contract expires in March. Hopefully they can get their **** together by then.

/Or, do you reckon they're not allowed to abuse their position to offer such converged service deals?

I'm not really interested in fixed line solutions, so haven't looked at any of the offerings.

I have an internet data bundle contract for my router and a mobile phone contract for my phone - and that's it. :)

So looks like my contract with Telkom Mobile has been approved.... :)

Waiting for the debit order then it will be dispatch with courier.... Funny thing is the Lady I spoke to also said CLIP is free and detail billing is also free via email..... so I will only be paying the R169 and then excluding the extra usages..

I find the online method way easier. Since I earn a weekly wage can you imagine the amount of paperwork I would have needed to take to the store. Now they just need a copy of my id and proof of residence when they deliver my phone... :)

What other phones do they offer with the 5gb data @ R169 pm ?

Seems like a very good deal, the phone is not a bad phone but will prefer something with a little more power.

So who has this? Telkom mobile network performance. Not data. Normal phone stuff.

The S4 mini was R100 more.

Lucky bastard.

That's better than most of the country, who are paying more than five times what you are paying with other service providers - for a slower connection. :eek:

As a data contract, it's great. It might not be an issue for most people, but the deal doesn't come with any smses.
