Well looking at usage v/s users on current data bundles and launching a bundle that we believe the Market will really benefit from.

Huh? If you are replying to the original quote with that answer it makes positively no sense. Are you trying to imply that MTN cannot / will not / should not lower their prices "because cheaper is not always better"? Is the magical "over priced fairy" going to wave her wand and make the MTN network poorer in performance if the price is lowered?

Or am I missing something in your response?

MTN have been looking at new bundles and data tariff’s for some time and will be launching some great new bundles and tariffs into the market, so now we defiantly need to supply something that the market will benefit from as well as something that will be practical in terms of the data market.........

And some pricing that will convince people to stay with MTN.

I'm paying 27c per MB at the moment at my WISP. So if any MTN, Vodacom, Cell-C or Virgin gets close to that I will consider using the Mobile Internet.;)

I think---- DREAM ON... MTN/VODA ARE BOTH TOO MONEY HUNGRY TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT ALL
 
MTN DD, I really really hope you guys are going to introduce carry over, cause the only way I would buy bundles EVER again is if my unused data at the end of the month is not "robbed" from me and I am given carry over. Finies en klaar.

I'm not sure if that's something we'll look at this stage

Sounds like Hellcom talking, "How can we screw the South African Public today???"

Not at all

I personally think it's a brilliant idea, but we'll just have to wait and see........... all I'm saying is not at this stage.

P.S. Caspa apologies if it was taking in the wrong context

Unfortunately, due to the prevailing greed inspired attitudes so inherently visible in this telecoms industry of ours, I am hard pressed to believe that the not-so-subtle hint at some real for-the-people offerings are going to realize.

I'm guessing that the current operators milked the consumer dry because they needed to get their cash stocks up in order to build their networks as they have and still maintain a profit.

I believe that if 3G were to fail, the telecom operators in this country could comfortably continue to exist without fear of closing business. They would suffer extreme losses, but they have sufficient fallbacks.

I also believe (and hope) that prices will now start to come down, but I remain suspicious about whether it's due to Virgin Mobile / Virgin Money. These companies (MTN, VC, Cell C) know the playing field. They do (or should at least) plan years in advance.

In this country you make money three ways (legit means not considered):

Working for goverment
Paying the goverment
Being the goverment

(It helps if the customers are idiots and know of no better)

Hi MTN DD

About 2 months again you hinted at MTn dropping their data rates - you said watch this space. With the Virgin rate of 50c/MB being out there when can we expect the MTN announcement?

before blaming companies for exploiting us , blame ourselves for allowing us to be exploited , sitting back and complaining on this forum will not help , some time back i suggested that we boycott/limit usage of our cellphones to express our disapproval of the rates we pay , the response was totallly pathetic , so stop complaining on this forum .

Thats our problem , we dont want to make sacrifices , yes , i dont expect doctors etc to switch their phones off , just think of the days when we never had cellphones .how did we manage then .

Everone managed by being contacted only during office hours while they were at the office and if they weren't at the office you just had to phone back. Now everyone expects you to always be available and if you're not they suddenly want to take their business elsewhere. Instead of a convenience cellphones have now actually become a nuisance.

I suggested something similar some time ago against the people in charge at Telkom, but was met only with contempt by people for the same reasons stated here. The problem in our society is that people don't want to stand together to accomplish a common goal. If everyone stood together it would only take a couple of days for change to occur, but as always you have the few people who don't want to make some sacrifices for the good of everyone. As long as that is the case it is just a waste of time to suggest anything along that line. :rolleyes:
