MTN explains HTC Flyer contract terms

[AfricanTech]

You would think that for R299/month they could give their customers 200MB of data for 24 months. It's amazing that we were paying extremely high prices for bandwidth when ADSL was released now we have uncapped for next to nothing. Cell phone providers have charged us R2 per MB since GPRS and are still charging us R2 per MB. Something is fishy.

Yes - it's the smell of money - freshly printed!

I'm skipping 7" and going straight for the 10" Android bad boys...

7" is just to small I think. Might as well just stick with your smartphone...

Next year Samsung will release their folding OLED screens, so any tab can fold in half like Sony's S2... Now that would be a cool compromise between size and functionality!

I agree, a 7" screen is almost pointless when you can get a 10" for not much more.
I think I am going to wait for the end of the year or early next year for the quad core tables...the xoom 2 or something.

Maybe I should go check one of these out, does MTN do demos of these products?

Staying with iPad for now.

Waste of cash

still better than vodadum... 200 mb is over enough as i have uncapped adsl which will be used most of the time anyway.

so dam true

Oh, makes sense, That's even better. so that means 200MB of Data the first 12months with only 50MB the last 12months. well, at least that's enough to peak @ mybroadband once a month if you're not at home using the WiFi at home!

Not quite. The first 12 months will give you 110MB in total, since you may only use up to a maximum of 20% of your monthly airtime on OOB data. Anything over 10MB, or 110MB in this case, is additional to the normal subscription.

Damn, I'd rather use the (MTN) sim card to make voice calls by putting it in a spare phone and then get a cell C R999 deal to have 2GB x 12 months and put that sim card into the Flyer.

any idea of when vodacom will be getting this?

 

[cavedog]

Every 1 always slams MTN but with vodacom the pay ins are usually so high you need to rob a bank just to get what you signed a contract for.
