Quick Question - Social Networking Add On

[seanaodh]

Hi all, I'm sure this has been asked elsewhere but I can't seem to find it.

I have the Telkom Internet Social Networking and Education Add On enabled (according to the usage tracking tool). What sites are included in this add on? I can't find the list anywhere.

I was just looking for the same thing. have you found a place with a list?

I can also confirm that video's hosted by facebook itself is also included in the Social media and Education addon. Video's that are embeded are not included but if its hosted on facebook then it is.

Here is a very cool scenario that you might find interesting if you own a PS4. If you wish to share your recorded video's and image it would be free if you are using a Telkom account. It would upload for free then you can also stream it from facebook for free too. Its pretty cool if you ask me. So you don't need a uncapped account to do these kind of stuff. Also really nice to have the do gaming addon so all the ps4 downloads and update are also free.

I use about 5-6GB of data just on this free addon.

I'd like to know why they call this add on 'social networking and education?' What is educational about any of those sites listed?
