Phone on data renewal?

[Dolby]

My brothers VC contract is about to end and I'm advising to jump ship ... However he'd like to know whether he can sign again and get a phone instead of a modem?

I remember from the old days it was a cheap phone - but he wants *any* phone that can run WhatApp.

A) can he get a phone?
B) can he get a cheap Nokia that runs Whatsapp?

Yes he can get a phone instead of a modem. The store must just create the deal for him. What phone he will be able to get depends on what the value is of the phone and what data package he is on.

Why a cheap phone?
A data contract is about R300 pm depending on the tariff you have.
R300 per month is a T130, so you should get whatever phone is free on that package??? Right?

That is not on a the data contract hey.

Perhaps consider this:

VODAFONE V845 @ R359.00 PAY IN ON STD MYMEG 600

VODAFONE V845 @ R139.00 PAY IN ON STD MYGIG 1.2

The Vodafone V845 is Android based....so I see no problems with it running WhatsApp.

I'd go for the most expensive - but when asking once in the past, they told me it'd be a basic, budget phone if you get it on data - even though it's R389.00pm

You're not going to have much luck finding a non-laptop/modem bargain. Personally don't see much benefit in it. Get the cheaper non-modem deal and a cheap top-up contract rather. Plus he has the choice of networks now.

The wildfire is at vodaworld for R79 on top up R135. I want one just because the deal is so good.

 

[rodga]

get a topup contract and convert to data bundle as needed
no surprises, and if u dont need it for data u can use it for calls etc

Cant seem to find it now the websit says they got a new 1 for the 6th of april, but had taken a screenshot (but cropped it) at the time that i meant to show with my original post.

Only have edge at home atm will try again later when im in an area with 3g. Its very frustrating trying to look for something with it being so slow.
