My 60 + 60 almost finished - any suggestions

[kennym]

My 60 + 60 data package is almost deplete - well the daytime portion is. I currently have 600MB daytime and 30GB night time data left which will expire on 31/01/2014. I am not a night person so if I buy another 60 + 60 package a lot of the data will go to waste (again).

Can anyone suggest a decent data package that has mostly daytime data at a reasonable price (contract or pre-paid)? I've been toying with Afrihost but their packages could change end of this month or end Jan 2014.

Thank you in advance.

Always calculate day time R/GB, in this case R30/GB. Then the night surfer is "free" and you haven't wasted it.

Most other deals are monthly, so many people "waste" some data at the end of each month. Unless they monitor their balance closely.

Telkom mobile , go for s3 mini smartplan 100 , comes with 5gb data a month for 169 a month , the 5gb data also rolls over for a month. I sold my s3 mini for 2200 basically paying for the first 12 months of contract .

When I hit this point (<2GB Daytime, +- 30GB Nighttime) I normally set up a bunch of scheduled downloads / torrents to start from 11PM and stop at 5AM to pretty much get rid of the excess data

I'd personally suggest you shift to Afrihost's 3 + 4 (Not 7 anymore :/) till they revise, and then re-compare.

You may be in luck. I posted elsewhere that a TM Shop representative advised me that TM are going to start providing 120GB straight anytime data due to the amount of complaints about the midnight data. I'm yet another customer who can almost throw away the midnight data.

Incidentally, I've just purchased my second ever 60+60GB bundle and hope that the next round will see the 120GB anytime being offered.

I will look up the name of the service representative that told me about this but for now, the word came from the TM Shop at Clearwater Mall Roodepoort. I wasn't given timelines nor pricing.

Thanks @hereticangel - I see you can get the smartplan 100 without a phone for R99.00 pm which works out to roughly R20 per GB which is also a bargain!! And it's month to month - no contract!!

Thanks everyone for your comments and good advices - much appreciated.

nono smartplan 100 without a phone does not give you 5gb of extra data!

hopefully you did not sign up yet
