Sorry if a thread of this has already been made, I cant seem to find it…

Most of you have probably seen these Game specials on the uncapped Mweb adsl account, one of the specials you can get a Xbox for +- R1200, that’s a R1500 discount if you take out a new 12month uncapped contract.

So here are a few of my questions
1.Can I only get this discount on certain products?, maybe I want a new fridge :-)
2.i was a uncapped subscriber a few months back and moved to another ISP, if I move back to Mweb do I also qualify for this special?
3.219 x 12 = R2628, - R1500 discount = R1128/12 = R94, my question is how sustainable is this for you?, or am I missing something?

Hope MwebGuy or a Mweb representative can help me with these questions
 
If i remember right, that contract period was 24months ?_?, please double check.

Also they do state NEW Subscribers only but if you use another persons name from the same household then you can still signup :D.

If its only the Xbox you want, rather buy it for R1699.95 + 2 games on Incredible Connection's site right NOW. Going very quickly.

Anything else not clear then MWEB Rep should sort you out. :)

Good morning, if you do not have an active MWEB account; you will be considered as a new client.

MWEB and Game promotions are normally product specific for devices that can connect to the internet; not sure if they sell new fridges that can connect to the internet :D

The Xbox cost is separate to the Monthly subscription you would incur with MWEB.

Hope this answers your questions ;)

Hi
Thanks for the reply

I know the xbox price is separate from the monthly subscription, it just does not make sense to me coz if Mweb gives me R1500 discount and they will only make R2628 on a 12 month contract you will effectively only be making R1128, get what I’m saying :-)

But I still don’t understand, I WAS a Mweb subscriber, but cancelled, but I’m pretty sure you still have all my details, so if I was to re-subscribe on one of these deals it will be invalid?

@Yuu
Thanks for the reply
I’m not really looking at a new Xbox, but this deal of Mweb/Game is pretty sweet, it’s a new 250gb console, with the new Forza, and it will only cost me R1200
I’m currently paying R200 for 10gb’s. I might just as well switch back to Mweb, get a free router + a Xbox and basically still pay the same!!


nb. You do get fridges with internet :-D

It doesn't have to make sense, as long as you are happy with the price :D We're willing to offer you this great discount, because we know that after 12 months you will never want to change ISP's again :p

Even though we still have your details on record; if you have no active subscription with us, we would consider this as a new sign up ;)
 
Note, these specials are usually on an all-inclusive-uncapped. Ie. you must take the adsl access and data both with mweb.

Have just spent 2.5 hours in a Game, trying to get this special. Between Game staffs' legendary incompetence and Mweb's problems, I still haven't received anything from anyone!

Steaming right now.

Good Afternoon sjm, we do not control the Game specials. Please let me know what you are referring to by "MWEB's problems"

It took the Game salespeople 1.5 hours to figure out what they were supposed to do in order to process the deal for me. Once I'd received all the documents, filled them in & signed them, Game faxed them to Mweb (Durban, I think). I waited another hour for Mweb to approve the account. The last time the Game salesperson called Mweb, what I could overhear was that the people who do the approvals were not there & we should wait for them to get back. At that point I left the store after telling them to call me once everything was done.

Right now the hold up is on the Mweb account processing & approval side.

Thanks for the feedback, let me know if you dont get any Joy. (inbox me your details and I will follow up for you internally).
 
Now after another 1.5 hours wasted, Charlene from Mweb says only SA IDs accepted, no passports. Had enough of Mweb now, will find another ISP. In total between Mweb and Game I've wasted 4 hours of my weekend.

Lol.
The problem comes in that you are required to give them your ID number, which is a requirement by law. Similar thing to RICA. Some ISPs force this, some don't :whistle:
