Mobile data price comparison

Mobile data prices compared

MWEB and Afrihost launched their own mobile data products. This is how they compare against Vodacom, MTN, Cell C and Telkom Mobile

I will never listen to Mweb ever again, they are liars and are unethical.

Vodacom 5GB contract is R259

And the resellers beats the suppliers. How is this possible

There is more to this than just price. Afrihost has the following advantages over Mweb:

1) Their control panel is miles ahead of anyone out there

2) Their billing system is much better than Mweb

3) You can cancel easily at any time with Afrihost or even pause your account, no complicated processes, no documents to fax (I mean who the hell still uses faxes? I know, Mweb does!)

I had to go to a Postnet once to send a fax to Mweb!

That Afrihost 10GB for R197 for real?

I won't do business with a company that still uses faxes. That just tells you everything you need to know about their mindset and the way they do business.

That Afrihost 10GB for R197 for real?

Question is; are you for real?

 

[Necuno]

MWEB explained that its month to month and 12 month deals are attractive

 

[skateboardt]

telkom mobile 3GB for R119...??

Why is Cell C's Giga20 (5GB + 15GB) for R189 per month always ignored in these comparisons?

Why is Cell C's Giga20 (5GB + 15GB) for R189 per month always ignored in these comparisons?

Because it is 5 GB anytime and 15 GB silly time data. The comparison is for anytime data only.

Now what's this column doing there?

 

[VC-1]

In all these comparisons they always forget that Vodacom VAS (Value Added Services) "Month to month Re-occurring bundles" greater than 2Gb are more expensive. eg. 5GB = R789pm because they reason that there is a difference between "Mobile Data" and "Broadband Contracts". Just a bad business model that needs to change

If you're still faxing, you deserve to be laughed at. Use a doc scan app for your phone and email.

I'm signing up with the Mweb 3G product because:
1. I'm already an MWeb subscriber
2. I'm already a CellC subscriber
3. the data bundle can be added to my existing CellC subscription (which I can't do with AH or TM)

Because it is 5 GB anytime and 15 GB silly time data. The comparison is for anytime data only.

You just sucked that out of your thumb. Why then are there no less than 13 deals with both anytime and silly time data in the comparison? Why does the entire article not once mention that the comparison is for anytime data only? And, since the Giga20 package offers 5GB anytime data, would that not qualify it to be considered in a roundup of anytime data packages even if that was all that was being compared?

Posting tip: think first, then start typing.
