I wanted to know a few things about Cell C's new prepaid data offer - the one for 2GB p/m x 12 that goes for R1299 (without modem). I bought one of these vouchers in early June.

1. Is it possible to buy another voucher now and have it loaded on or activated after the initial 12 month period ends, or would the voucher expire within a certain amount of time, ending up with you losing R1299 worth of data?

2. Can you load two of these bundles on at the same time and have 4GB of data per month, or only one (2GB) at a time?

3. Is it true you can top up and buy extra data in the event that the 2GB runs out? Can you load it on with existing data, or do you have to wait until the data expires first?

Thanks. I've PMed the Cell C rep for more info, but decided to post here anyway.

Good Day

1: The voucher would expire, best bet to to buy the sim card and not activated it yet.

2: You could load two at the same time to have 4GB per month.

3: you can load it with existing data(remember will use 2 GB first) best bet is to buy 3 GB for 365 days.

I'm using the 5GbX12 promotion at the moment and it runs out in a few months. If I need additional data now it would make sense to use the 3Gb for 365 days offer. If I need any extra data in a given month it will be taken from the 3Gb after the initial 5Gb has been used.

What happens in 4 months time when the original 5GbX12 runs out? I will (probably :) ) be buying a 5GbX12 voucher. If I do will the 3Gb bundle become the "prime" package so that the balance of the 3Gb bundle gets used first before the data available through the new 5GbX12 kicks in or will the balance of the 3Gb only be used once the new 5Gb has been used for the month?
