Yes you can. if you are on topup 300 you can convert it to a 1gig bundle and have some change for sms. An get a new phone every 2 years
@Beri, I've got a top up 75 contract and would like to get the 100 MB bundle for R80, but according to the new pricing top up falls under contract so in effect you have to add a bundle to your contract and can't buy one using the included airtime I think
We can't always assume a company will disregard their own interests and put the customer first. That's the job of consumer protectors like ICASA - they but ain't doing it.Yep ic, it is really frustrating having to go around in circles having to keep on making the same points about why rollover is a good idea. On the issue of MTN's pricing: R169 for 350 MB and R189 for 500 MB so obviously they want you buy the 500MB bundle so their is a better chance of you losing out
I think you're going to have to send Pitbull a p.m. with a link to your post - considering that he's a bit occupied ATM:
I'll be playing WoW then and won't have time for myadsl
Can you expand & explain. Me also thinking.

Looks like it's still available - http://www.telkom.co.za/athome/products/dsl/home_what_is_dsl.htmlIt just means that in retrospect I'm glad I didn't get into a 24 month contract paying more for the same amount of data with higher latencies. Also, I don't see anything in those price reductions to compel a user to consider anything other than adsl, provided their exchange is up to it. At least the 350MB PPDB is a bit more reasonable for when I have to travel. VC don't cater to poor people requiring bundles < 500MB
A little mentioned fact is that Telscum also have an 0861 PoP for when you're on the move. Dunno if it actually works, never tried it. I wonder what happened to the free T-Zone minutes they used to throw in with adsl that you could use at the airport etc?
Until your airtime balance hits zero which doesn't take long at R2/MB. There are other ways to minimise costs like SmartCall which gives you 9% extra airtime. Currently if MTN wants my business they have to charge me less than R257 for a 2GB bundle or else it doesn't make financial sense unless they can give me my airtime for less.Can Top Up amounts be used to purchase bundles?
The connection keeps on going after your balance hits zero
I really have to stress this point. Currently not enough consumers actually use up their bundles for Vodacom to consider rollover - except for the other kind of rollover
. This seems counter intuitive but if people don't actually use up their data it makes financial sense for them to simply take it away. So everyone PLEEEASE just make sure you use it all. Ration it, give it away, waste it, just make sure you don't give it back to them.

If more people used up their bundles then Vodacom might be interested in rollover to induce customers to buy bigger bundles. But the more you have the more you will use, and can the network sustain the extra usage thus generated?Interesting idea
Ag no man sky.akash don't go and spoil it.
Just a few words of encouragement to get us to 7.2Mbps instead of 3.6Mbps in the next round of upgrades
Didn't think of it that way. My point is that they won't want to introduce rollover as everyone will then use their whole bundle and they will have to pay for the data and to transmit it. It makes financial sense for them to simply take away what you don't use. My idea is to remove that incentive.Interesting idea
