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

Did you have to pay a "sim and connection" fee?

no connection fee for me , think its only if you order online.

Again will need wait for debit order to run , but i paid nothing in store and my account is on R0.

If it was 1994, the sms bundle would definitely have been a deal breaker. :eek:

Lol. Only time I send smses is if I am forwarding merchant service messages to my gf from fnb. Oh, and if I enter competitions.

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.

Yeah but the contract does come with 5 for 50 sms promotion... basically you pay for the first 5 sms and the next 45 is free.

I don't think you do

Nope. its free for online orders aswell. Clearly stated by the person that calls you if you do the online order. Sim & Connection and delivery is free. The debit order goes off within 48h after they phoned you and the package gets dispatched right after that.

Yes, Whatsapp has killed the sms. I don't even use my 25 per month at the moment. I managed to get my Dad to start using Whatsapp today, so now I'm considering this contract.

Has the contract been working well for you? I'm considering getting this deal for my next phone. It's the same price as the S3 mini on Cell C, but I'd rather have the 5.5gb of data than 100 smses.

Have you checked TM data coverage in your aria?

Have you experienced ANY problems with your new contract? Billing, signal or otherwise.

Billing yes, i was billed r200 connection fee, i must still go to the shop and get it credited. I know i was going to get billed got the invoice last month, i told the guy he said it if the money does go off i must just just go in the shop and he will get the money credited to my account , because the connection fee should be free.

I am really enjoying this contract this far. The minutes last 6 months and the 8ta data rolls over for 2. The MTN roaming works well with an on screen message to remind you. Managing without smses has been quite easy. I haven't been billed yet but the phone works well so far.
