I doubt it too, from what i understand, this package offering placed significant pressure on the network without the standard ROI, so we would be reluctant to open that can of worms again...
We... Are you at MTN?

Doubt it, this year there won't be a multi billion dollar Nigerian fine forcing their hand

I'm due for an upgrade on vodacom but holding out for black Friday. I figure SOMEONE must have a deal on the day. Might not be as crazy as this one was, but there should be something for us

Same here. Hopefully by then, there would be some other great deals available. The 500GB (night data) from Telkom is a good deal.

If you plan on porting your number over make sure you have converted your Vodacom number to prepaid before Black Friday arrives.

I'm in the same predicament, except I have 2 contracts and 100gb, gonna hurt when this all comes to an end.

I have noticed the price is slowly heading down for data, cell c has some pretty good contracts for data, looks like they are the cheapest at the moment.

Where did you see this Vodacom deal?

I doubt it would be 30gb anytime data.

I've been trying to port an existing number into this contract but can't seem to find anyone at MTN who thinks it is doable. I know some of you on this thread have successfully done this. Please could you let me know how and what you did.

You can only port when you open the contract, you might have another chance next month to get the deal and port.

IIRC some people in this thread managed to port into an existing contract
My brother in law managed to but he almost gave up, you have to virtually breathe fire for 2 whole weeks and somehow get hold of the Mtn ceo for it to be done.

I wonder why it is so hard, is it just policy that's fixed in stone preventing it or is there a technical challenge that makes it difficultto do?

Ive asked him before exactly the process but all he said is he just gave them hell until he wore them down. I have heard similar experiences on this thread, you just have to carry on until it gets escalated to someone senior enough to authorise it. You probably have to be skilled at navigating bs as well and never take no for an answer.
