Hi, I have a pay as you go airtime SIM with Vodacom and wifi at home. I need advice on an inexpensive data package for my iPad when we are experiencing Load Shedding.i had a cell C one some year ago but couldn't get good reception at my home. I also can't get Telkom Mobile reception here in my limitless corner of PE.Any advice as to provider, size etc.will be much appreciated. BTW my ISP is Afrihost.

Having looked at the above links, the axxess deals are better

Telkom is cheapest by a few cents compared to Axxess. Then come the rest of the pack. Since you only have MTN signal use Axxess, they also have the roll-over.

Axxess doesn't lock you into a 24 month contract though?

Contracts are archaic. Afrihost did a good job offering month to month data packages and that's seemed to roll over to other companies.

I'd definitely recommend Axxess though. I was an Afrihost mobile data customer for 2 years then they stopped their double data promotion and a lot of their client base migrated over to Axxess. I switched over in December last year and have been extremely impressed. Axxess is the sister company of Afrihost but I find their service and product even better than Afrihost.

Currently I have 2 mobile packages with them:

1 x 1GB + 1GB for R79

And 1 x 2GB + 2GB for R139

3 month data rollover , month to month contract and anytime data! Can't be happier!:)

Planning on moving over to Axxess for precisely the same reason
