MTN 2GB Data @ R149 PM Promotion

Funny, don't Cell C give you the first month basically free.
Why can't MTN and Voda match that?

I got my CellC 2GB modem plus data on 5 May for R1499. The whole of May is free. My 12 month period starts only on 1 June. :) So 24GB+2GB for R1499 with 7.2 modem.
 
The good thing about the MTN deal is you get the 21.1 modem, so it is really worth it for me.
 
Well, I must say, I have compared it to my buddies 7.2 Cell C 3G. Both of us in my house, next to each oda and his ping is around 88 in COD 4 and mine's 55. So it is very good for me. Very happy
 
I just got the TP Link MR3420 3G Wifi router and it works perfectly with the Huawei E367 that MTN bundles with the 2GB promotion. Just as a note, i was able to get it on a top-up package so no risk of high bills.

I can confirm that i also get ping times of around 50-60ms on my MTN service.
 
Does having an external antenna help with higher speeds? I cannot get more than 2Mb/s indoors.
 
Can anybody tell me what their unbilled amount is for this 2Gb@R149 contract ? Mine says R397. I just want to know if they signed me onto the correct contract.

Okay, signed up for this now...Sales guy said I can have this on the topup option. So once my 2gb per month is reached..I can just purchase data bundles or normal prepaid airtime and top up...bit more controlled rather than having any surprises at the end of the month.

Are their any MTN reps on this site who can confirm that one can get this on a top up deal and there are no extra hidden costs. This will then improve the value of this deal (now just need to make the contract period 12 months)
 
I asked the sales guy a good few times if that was the case and he assured me that I can have it on Top Up...when filling the forms, I even wrote down, 2gb x 24 - TOP UP. I asked the guy if theres any additional costs other than my R149 pm and he reassured me that is what I will be paying. It would be good to get an MTN rep here that can confirm this.
 
MTN - R149 x 24 for 2GB/m and 21.1Mb/s modem
CellC - R149 x 12 for 2GB/m and 7.2Mb/s modem

Price difference between the two modems is R1000 tops, but MTN is R1788 more expensive...

Why would you want Caller Line Identification on a data SIM?

Not if you are going to renew your CellC contract after the 12 months...
 
Both VC and MTN only have contract options ,which allows you to go over the @GB limmit and the they charge you hectic OOB rates and they still make money .Win Win

The OOB rates aren't too bad. 0.19c per mb isnt too bad for me. And even if you go a gig over its only R190 extra.... So u have to really have no idea of ur cap usage if u do that.
 
I just got my first bill for this. What a mess. The total came up to R542,39. They charged me R341 for the 2GB data bundle, R87 connection fee, R87 Migration fee (dunno what this is for as I am a new client and did not have to migtrate), R36 for a 75MB data bundle (where in the world did u get this from), R10 for caller ID (ITS A ****ING DATA CARD I DO NOT NEED THIS KAK!!!).

Now I would like to know if I can go to the CPA with this. They are screwing me over around every turn. I wanna sue them!!!!!
