May's deal of the month

[nadeem_k]

Hi Guys,

Has anyone managed to purchase the Telkom May deal of the month which is Mediapad T1 and 5gb of data?

I wanted to know how the tablet performs? From reviews it seems like a poor performing device

I wouldn't- I would have to be a really good price for that 5GB though.

I cant find any stand alone 5gb deal that's cheaper?

Well, if the data alone makes it worth it, and you're willing to pay for it- then I guess the T1 is an added bonus? If you're buying it for the tab, I don't know if I could recommend it. I've no experience with it, but I've seen the specs and the OS version.

Ok, so to backtrack a bit here: if it's the deal I'm looking at: https://secure.telkom.co.za/today/shop/plan/deal-month-may/#!plan-detail-14361
Then it might just be worth it for the data alone. I'm currently paying R280p/m for 2GB on Vodacom, but that's including a Sony Xperia Z2 LTE tablet, which I still think was a steal. The Mediapad is still meh in my opinion.

Is there any other deals out there where the per GB cost is less, irrespective of the device?
