MTN OOBR 50c/MB?

[AirWolf]

Hi

Is it just me or has MTN reduced their out of bundle data rate to 50c/MB. I don't have the exact figure, but over the past two days it has been somewhere in that range.

Maybe an error?

Mtn's site still says R2 per meg for out of bundle. but maybe its not updated yet.

Make that three days

No-one seems to be taking me seriously Will get the exact figures this evening when I am at home to back up my statements.

Remember MTN has lower OOB rates depending on the bundle you've had within the 30 day period:

350MB = Data Rate out of bundle R 1.50
500MB = Data Rate out of bundle R 1.35
1GB = Data Rate out of bundle R 1.20

and it might even go lower if you got more than 1GB ?

I've never loaded any bundles on this sim. I'm on my choice 75 with free e220.

 

[bHOLDher]

Nope, I just did a test on my prepaid sim (no data bundles), I calculated R1.98 per meg...

OK sky.akash, take out the pharkin red Virgin sim and look for an orange sim and try that.

 

[redarrow]

LOL internaut.. are you going colour blind?
Last I checked MTN sims were yellow ... (like everything else MTN )

 

[internaut]

You're right. It's Thursday, bear with me, had a rough week already. Maybe that's sky's problem as well.

 

[redarrow]

Heh..
Well the weekend is less than 30 hours away.. so that's good news... (unless you also work weekends )..

EDIT: Mind you.. while we're on the topic, it would make a nice change if MTN did paint some of their sims orange..

Test 1:
Downloaded 4.70MB @ R3.91 = R0.83/MB

I did enquire a few days ago about the cost of migrating from My Choice 75 to a 100MB data contract at R80.00, but haven't received a response as yet. But the new cost is suspiciously close to that of the 100MB bundle.

When I check my balance it still says I'm on My Choice Top Up

 

[AirWolf]

The pricing seems to be back to normal My balance now sits at a big fat R0. Oh, well, back to:

...the pharkin red Virgin sim...

 

[caspa]

damn ...i thought you where on to something

 

[AirWolf]

damn ...i thought you where on to something

Maybe it was a trial run of the new pricing to be introduced soon?

If I activate a 1GB bundle today via mtn active, then is the 1GB valid for 30 days?or till the 7th?

30 days from what I've heard on this forum.

 

[Beri]

yep i was told 30 days as well. but i was also told i could recharge if it was finished halfway in the month.

For prepaid, it is 30 days - strictly, until 23:59:59 one month later less a day. If you activate on 10th April, it dies at the last minute of 9th May.

But you said mtn active, which means contract. I assume it's the same but I don't know.

Contract bundle runs on your billing cycle i.e. pro-rata till you next billing date.
