New Voda data bundles or have I been asleep?

Best call network and best price/speed data right there. Pure win.

Where did you source the Duos from?

I got it on eBay from the USA.

Just be aware that it is difficult to use 2 sims and a SD card in the phone (at the same time), and the Duos model only has 32GB.

Note : There is a hack to fix this, fortunately you only hack the sim & SD card, not the phone. Will be doing this sometime.

Solution is a dual sim phone.

My new phone is a S7 edge Duos.

Voda voice at 79c per minute, and Axxess data.

Win !

Axxess runs in mtn correct? Vodacom works much better in my area, rather pay the extra 10 Or R20 per month more and buy the data up front for a year on vodacom. With the 79c per minute rate. No need for duel Sim then

Can get 2gb for R116 vs Axxess R98

Thanks for the thread, didnt know about these, will get the 250MB on 1 july. Most of the time I’m on one of my wifis, and rarely use up the 250mb and often forget to buy new and then go into OOB on my prepaid airtime.

I'm in month 5 of a 6 month x500mb per month bundle. Every month after the second month, I have started with 1GB (new 500mb allocation and 1 month rollover of the 500mb from the month before) so I am losing data and not using it all before the end of the month. I have wifi at work, home and in the car and been using the free PnP 1.5GB at AlwaysOn hotspots so on device data usage is very low in my instance.

That said, for another R300 odd bucks at the end of July, I will have another half a year of handset data sorted so I may purchase same instead of changing to the 250mb x6 and then being caught short some months.

Yes, but the flexibility is useful. I also have a 3GB per month Vodacom Top Up for R149 per month that I use in there, and when overseas I put in a local voice/data sim which gives me local voice calls and data. And all while my Vodacom sim is on SMS roaming and I can receive messages from SA. And return SA calls on SkypeOut using local (ie foreign) data.

I was in the USA last week, and had a Cricket (AT&T) sim in there with unlimited USA calls/ texts and 10GB data.
